How Strong?","","The text explains how hurricanes and earthquakes are natural disasters that can damage property and hurt people, noting both similarities and differences. It describes hurricanes as huge ocean storms driven by high winds and introduces the Saffir-Simpson Scale, including wind-speed categories up to Category 5. It then explains earthquakes as sudden ground movement measured by the Richter Scale, with examples such as Hurricane Andrew, Florida hurricanes in 2004, and major quakes in California (1994) and Alaska (1964).",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/hurricanes-and-earthquakes-how-big-how-strong/322662/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/hurricanes-and-earthquakes-how-big-how-strong/322662.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Ezra","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-09-21",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":29},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What causes hurricanes and how are they measured?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"Hurricanes are huge ocean storms.
