2. Amazing Earthquakes How Earthquakes Destroy in Seconds Natural disasters are a result of nature that affects the earth. An earthquake begins when pressure from the core of our earth moves tectonic plates against each other which causes rubbing and pushing an that sends out seismic waves called p-waves, s-waves, and surface waves. These waves make the earth vibrate and shake. Earthquakes can affect people because homes are destroyed and prevent people from having warmth and protection from the elements. You can prepare for an earthquake by building safely, then find a safe place to protect yourself, organize supplies, and lastly make an emergency plan with your family. Other natural disasters are: avalanches, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, lighting storms, tsunamis, volcano eruptions and wild fires.
