　　Q: How do these disasters or phenomenon form a danger to people?

　　How can science help reduce threat?

　　S: Typhoons are harmful to us. They can pull up the tall tree, blow down the wire poles and even  destroy people's houses. Sometimes it can cause severe flood.

　　S: Earthquake can bring great damage to people's life. It can cut off electricity and water supply and destroy houses. Even it often causes deaths. In 1976 a terrible earthquake in Tang Shan killed thousands of people.

　　S: If the typhoon and earthquake can be forecast, damages will greatly be reduced. Scientists in our country can forecast typhoons exactly and some of the earthquakes have been forecast before. I'm sure they will control the natural disaster and reduce the losses to the lowest degree.
