The answer is E. Explosion.

A flood is a large amount of water that covers an area that is usually dry. A hurricane is a large storm with strong winds that forms over warm ocean waters. An avalanche is a large mass of snow, ice, and rock that slides down a mountain. An earthquake is a sudden movement of the Earth’s crust.

An explosion is a sudden release of energy that causes a loud noise and a shock wave. Explosions can be caused by a variety of things, including chemical reactions, nuclear reactions, and the detonation of explosives.
