Natural disasters

2. Natural Disasters
A natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from
natural processes of the Earth; examples are floods,
hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions and other geologic
processes. A natural disaster can cause loss of life or
damage property, and typically leaves some economic
damage in its wake, the severity of which depends on the
affected population's resilience (ability to recover) and also on
the infrastructure available.

3. Floods
A flood occurs when water
inundates land that's
normally dry, which can
happen in a multitude of
ways.

5. Hurricanes
Hurricanes begin as tropical
disturbances in warm ocean waters
with surface temperatures of at
least 80 degrees Fahrenheit .
Hurricanes are enormous heat
engines that deliver energy on a
staggering scale. They draw heat
from warm, moist ocean air and
release it through condensation of
water vapor in thunderstorms.

7. Tornadoes
A tornado is a violently rotating
column of air that extends from a
thunderstorm to the ground. It's
often portended by a dark, greenish
sky. Black storm clouds gather.
Baseball-size hail may fall. A funnel
suddenly appears, as though
descending from a cloud. The
funnel hits the ground and roars
forward with a sound like that of a
freight train approaching. The
tornado tears up everything in its
path.

9. Volcanic
Eruptions
Volcanic eruptions happen when
lava and gas are discharged from a
volcanic vent. The most common
consequences of this are
population movements as large
numbers of people are often forced
to flee the moving lava flow.
