Test: 3rd Grade Science

1.

Sharon and Mike are building a new home on a piece of land they just bought. It is located next to a large river in an area that floods several times a year. The flooding is caused by heavy rain or melting snow upstream. When the floodwaters rise, the owners are unable to enter the home. They have come home and had to walk through water to get into the house. If the water enters the house, it damages not only their things but the structure of the house, and it all must be replaced.

What is the weather-related hazard that Sharon and Mike face?

Flooding

Tornadoes

Mudslides

Earthquakes
