Understanding Natural Disasters
Natural disasters are events caused by natural forces, like weather and geology. These events can cause

great damage to the environment and communities. They include earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, and

wildfires.

Earthquakes happen when the ground shakes because of movements in the Earth's crust. They can destroy

buildings and homes, and sometimes cause tsunamis in the ocean. Hurricanes are strong storms with

powerful winds and heavy rain. They form over warm ocean water and can cause flooding and wind damage

when they reach land. Floods occur when water levels rise rapidly, often after heavy rain or melting snow.

They can submerge homes and roads, and cause landslides.

Wildfires are uncontrolled fires that spread quickly through forests and dry grasslands. They are often

caused by lightning or human activities like campfires or discarded cigarettes.
