Which of the following is not covered by a crop-hail policy?

Hail damage
Fire damage
Lightning damage
Earthquake damage

The correct answer is: Earthquake damage

A crop-hail policy is designed specifically to cover damages to crops caused by hail. It typically includes some additional perils, but they are usually limited to those that are closely related to weather events. In this context, the correct response relates to damages caused by an earthquake, which falls outside the typical scope of coverage provided by a crop-hail policy. Earthquakes are natural disasters that are not linked to the activities causing crop damage in the same way that weather events are. Hail, for instance, directly impacts crops, making it central to the policy’s intent. Similarly, while some crop-hail policies may extend to cover damages from fire or lightning, they remain contingent upon the loss being related to hail-related events or other overlapping risks. Earthquakes are completely unrelated and not part of the typical coverage, hence they are excluded from any crop-hail policy.
