Fill-in-the-Blanks

Students use a word bank to complete sentences describing hurricane formation, structure, and impacts. The activity reinforces vocabulary such as eye, eyewall, storm surge, tropical depression, evacuation, and Category 5. By placing words into the correct context, learners deepen understanding of how hurricanes develop and why they are dangerous. The worksheet strengthens reading comprehension, vocabulary application, and scientific accuracy. A challenge question prompts students to consider why storm surge warnings are as important as wind warnings.
