About this quiz

What this quiz covers

From landfalling cyclones to damaging quakes and record floods, this quiz focuses on recent, widely reported natural disasters and the key facts that made them news.

You’ll see a mix of straightforward headline checks and deeper context questions about regions affected, scale of damage, and emergency response.

Format and difficulty settings

Each question has 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can think through details without pressure.

Choose your question count before you start for a quick run or a longer session, and pick an easier or harder setting to shift the balance between headline-level recall and finer-grain specifics.

Skills you’ll practice

Matching disasters to countries/regions and major cities
Ordering events by time (season, month, or sequence of impacts)
Interpreting magnitudes, categories, and flood terminology in context
Spotting cause vs. effect (trigger, damage type, secondary hazards)
Separating similar-sounding storms and repeated events in the same area

Common pitfalls (and how to avoid them)

Mix-ups often happen when multiple storms hit the same basin, when quake locations are described by nearby towns, or when floods are reported across several provinces at once. Slow down and look for the anchor detail (region, year/season, or a standout impact) before you lock in an answer.

How the mixed difficulty is balanced

Early questions lean on widely covered events and obvious identifiers, while later items add closer distractors and more specific details. The overall mix keeps it approachable, but still rewards careful reading of world news coverage.
