Explanation

Matching correctly links cyclones with storm surges, landslides with solifluction, drought with famine, and earthquakes with shock waves.

Tropical cyclones push seawater ashore as storm surges.

Landslides include solifluction, the slow flow of water-soaked soil down slopes.

Prolonged drought can lead to famine when crops fail.

Earthquakes send out shock waves that shake the ground.

Storm surges, not wind alone, cause most deaths in coastal cyclones.
