Physical Geography of the US and Canada

Question 2 • TX-World Geography Studies B-CR

Which of the following statements about natural disasters in the United States and Canada is false?

Answer
A
More tornadoes occur in the United States and Canada than in any other region.
B
In North America, earthquakes tend to impact the Pacific coast more than other regions.
C
A storm belt called Tornado Alley stretches across the Midwestern and Southern United States.
D
The Ring of Fire is a series of tornadoes that sweep across North America annually.

Explanation

The Ring of Fire is a zone around the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are common, not a series of tornadoes. Tornado Alley is the storm belt across parts of the Midwestern and Southern United States, so choice C describes tornadoes correctly. Therefore, the false statement is “The Ring of Fire is a series of tornadoes that sweep across North America annually.”
