Natural disasters
This document discusses different natural disasters and focuses on tsunamis. It states that tsunamis can be caused by volcanoes, earthquakes, or landslides underwater. For volcanoes, an eruption under the sea can break pieces of the volcano that fall into the water and cause pressure increases that result in huge waves. Earthquakes beneath the ocean floor can also displace water and slowly generate enormous tsunami waves. Landslides into bodies of water function similarly by adding pressure from displaced material, forcing water upwards and creating gigantic waves.

Natural Disasters: A comprehensive Presentation
Natural disasters can be categorized as meteorological, geological, or hydrological based on their cause. Meteorological disasters include hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones, tornadoes, and are caused by atmospheric conditions; they typically involve strong winds and rain. Geological disasters are earthquakes and volcanic eruptions caused by movements of tectonic plates deep below the Earth's surface. Hydrological disasters refer to tsunamis and floods caused by water, such as tsunamis triggered by undersea earthquakes or severe rainstorms causing floods. The document provides examples of different types of natural disasters, how and where they typically occur.
Tsunamis..
Tsunamis and earthquakes are among nature's deadliest natural disasters. The document presents information about tsunamis and earthquakes through a PowerPoint presentation, including an animation showing how tsunamis are formed by earthquakes or other disturbances displacing large volumes of water. A tsunami is a series of waves generated in a body of water by earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, and other disturbances that rapidly displace water.
Cyclones,quentin
Cyclones are the most destructive storms in the world. Typhoon Tip, which occurred in the Pacific in 1979, remains the largest and most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded. Cyclones form from clusters of strong thunderstorms and have an eye surrounded by an eyewall that is the calmest area with low pressure and no rain. They are most common in ocean regions like the Pacific, where around 15 occur each year, and can cause major economic damage, like Hurricane Katrina which cost nearly $1 billion.
Severe weather thunderstormandtornado
Thunderstorms form when warm, humid air rises rapidly and condenses into clouds. Lightning results from a buildup of positive and negative charges within storm clouds and between clouds and the ground. Thunderstorms can also spawn tornadoes if wind shear is present. Most tornadoes are relatively small and short-lived, but the most intense can completely demolish buildings.
Natural disaster
1) A natural disaster is defined as a natural hazard that causes significant financial and human losses through its impact on the environment. Examples include floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, and epidemics.
2) Natural disasters occur when natural hazards intersect with vulnerabilities in human systems. Major causes are seismic activity, soil erosion, and the greenhouse effect.
3) Natural disasters can be categorized as either hydrometeorological, involving atmospheric/hydrological phenomena like floods and storms, or geological, involving earthquakes, tsunamis and landslides.

Maps show the occurrences, deaths, and people affected by natural disasters in Southern Asia including India in 2016. The conclusion emphasizes the need for accurate forecasting and awareness to reduce cyclone damage, while recommendations focus on early warning systems, disaster risk reduction, and private sector participation.
Natural disaster
Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of seismic energy at tectonic plate boundaries. The focus is the location inside the Earth where energy is released, while the epicenter is the point above the focus on the surface. Earthquakes commonly occur along plate boundaries as the plates stick together and then suddenly break due to built-up stress. Earthquakes are responsible for more deaths annually than any other natural hazard due to their ability to strike without warning, preventing evacuation. Mitigation strategies include reinforcing buildings and developing disaster plans. Undersea earthquakes can trigger tsunamis by vertically displacing water.

Disasters(by aagman saini)
Natural disasters include earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, cyclones, floods, droughts, tornadoes, and tsunamis. They are caused by shifts in the Earth's crust or severe weather events and can seriously disrupt communities. While often natural in origin, human activities may exacerbate some disasters by increasing their frequency or severity. Understanding the causes of different disasters may help mitigate their harmful impacts.

Hurricanes are large tropical storms that form over warm ocean waters and contain heavy winds and rainfall. They typically form where ocean waters are at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit and 150 feet deep. One to six hurricanes may strike the United States in a given year, causing billions of dollars in damage from flooding and winds. The most destructive hurricane was Hurricane Katrina, which caused catastrophic flooding and destruction in New Orleans. The Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico are most prone to hurricanes.

A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. Tornadoes can cause extensive damage and loss of life. The most extreme tornadoes can reach wind speeds over 300 mph and stay on the ground for dozens of miles. Areas most prone to tornadoes include parts of North America, South Africa, Europe, Australia, and Asia. If a tornado is approaching, it is important to go to the lowest level of a building, interior room or basement and protect yourself. The 1974 Super Outbreak was the largest tornado outbreak on record with 148 confirmed tornadoes over multiple days, including 30 F4 or F5 strength tornadoes. It was also the deadliest tornado outbreak until 2011, causing

A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground. Tornadoes most commonly form in the central and southern US, known as Tornado Alley, where warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico collides with cool, dry air from Canada. The typical tornado is 15 miles wide, lasts 30 minutes, and rotates at wind speeds between 40-318 mph, causing damage ranging from broken tree branches to complete destruction depending on its strength on the Fujita scale.
Disasters
Natural disasters include earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, cyclones, floods, droughts, tornadoes, and tsunamis. Earthquakes result from the sudden movement of tectonic plates, causing shock waves that damage buildings and infrastructure. Volcanic eruptions eject lava and ash, destroying structures and harming health. Cyclones are rotating low-pressure systems that include hurricanes and typhoons, consisting of an eye, eye wall, and rain bands. Floods occur when bodies of water overflow their boundaries, submerging land. Droughts are prolonged periods of unusually dry weather that harm crops and reduce water supply. Tornadoes are violently rotating columns of air that extend from thunderstorms
Natural disasters
Natural disasters are events that result from forces of nature such as hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, wildfires, and tornadoes. They occur in almost every part of the world and each region is prone to certain types of natural disasters. It is important to understand the natural disasters that affect your region so you can learn how to prepare for them. Common natural disasters include hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, and wildfires. Proper preparation like storing water, food, batteries, and first aid supplies can help keep people safe during a natural disaster.
Hurricane presentation cooper kai connor
Hurricanes are large rotating storm systems that form over warm ocean waters. They develop from tropical storms and require ocean temperatures of at least 79°F. As the storms draw energy from the warm ocean, moisture evaporates and condenses, causing the winds to circle around the storm's low pressure center. The most destructive hurricanes have sustained winds over 74 mph. Hurricane Katrina in 2005 was one of the deadliest, causing over $100 billion in damage and thousands of deaths along the Gulf Coast. To mitigate hurricane damage, buildings can be constructed to withstand high winds and flooding through sturdy foundations and supportive structures.
Hurricanes
hurricane is a huge storm! It can be up to 600 miles across and have strong winds spiraling inward and upward at speeds of 75 to 200 mph.
Tsunami
Tsunamis are a series of waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or large lake. They are generated by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, glacier calvings, meteorite impacts, or underwater explosions including nuclear tests. The principal generation mechanism of a tsunami is the displacement of a substantial volume of water due to earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, glacier calvings, or rarely, meteorites and nuclear tests. The 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan was a magnitude 9.0 quake that created a tsunami up to 40 meters high, warning countries near the Pacific Ocean of one of the most deadly tsunamis
Severe Storms
Hurricane Hugo hit Puerto Rico in the morning of September 17th, 1989 and then made landfall in South Carolina around midnight, causing significant damage as it moved through the state. Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and contain heavy rain, strong winds that can reach 74-200 mph, and an eye of calm weather at the center. They start as tropical storms that grow stronger as heat and moisture rise within the storm system.

Violent weather like tornadoes and severe thunderstorms can be deadly, causing around 60 deaths, 1,500 injuries, and $400 million in damage annually in the US. A single historic tornado in 1925 killed nearly 700 people across several towns in Illinois. To increase chances of survival, these severe storms must be taken seriously. The document provides information on tornado watches versus warnings and safety measures to take before, during, and after severe weather strikes.
Geography / natural Hazards
This document discusses several types of natural hazards including atmospheric, terrestrial, and aquatic hazards. It provides examples of different types of natural hazards such as tropical cyclones, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis. It explains key concepts about these hazards such as the definitions of hurricanes, typhoons, and tropical cyclones, different types of volcanic eruptions and lava, and how tsunamis differ from ordinary wind waves in having much longer wavelengths and periods. Images and diagrams are included to illustrate volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and the damage they can cause.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Natural disasters
- 1. NATURAL DISASTERS Ingrid Tatiana Lopez Haitivy Vera Jose H Cardona
- 2. HURRICANE FEMA defines a hurricane as a low- pressure system formed in the tropics and characterized by thunderstorms and heavy winds that move in a counterclockwise motion. In the United States, the hurricane season begins in June and ends in November. This applies to states on the Gulf of Mexico and on the Atlantic ocean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9VpwmtnOZc&feature=channel
- 3. FLOOD Floods can happen quickly, in the case of flash floods, or they can take hours or days to form. They can affect small areas, such as a specific community, or they can affect entire states. FEMA claims floods effect every state and are among the most common natural disasters to occur in the U.S. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcmbX_JO95g&feature=related
- 4. EARHTQUAKE When rocks beneath the Earth's surface shift and break, an earthquake occurs. Every state is susceptible to earthquakes, with California and Alaska experiencing the most damaging and most frequent, respectively. They can occur in any season, at any time, and are the cause of landslides, floods, fires, tsunamis and avalanches, according to FEMA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Y-62Ti5_6s&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmwSWjzCpno
- 5. LANDSLIDE A landslide happens when large amounts of earth, rock and debris slide downhill, according to the CDC. A related disaster, the mudslide, occurs when the debris moving downhill becomes saturated with water, creating a river- like flow. FEMA warns that landslides can happen in every state in the U.S. Fires, earthquakes and storms are a few common landslide and mudslide causes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVYGJYnJTi0&feature=related
- 6. TORNADO The Federal Emergency Management Agency calls tornadoes the most violent storms in nature. The whirling, funnel-shaped winds of a tornado move up to 300 mph and can form in any state. For states in the South, tornado season begins in March and goes through May. For states in the North, most tornadoes occur from the end of spring through early summer. It is possible for tornadoes to form during other seasons, and they often give little warning before striking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJlfAGC8G8w&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9POUOEVeMG0&feature=related
- 7. TSUNAMI A volcanic eruption, earthquake or landslide that occurs underwater can create large waves of water called tsunamis. Most of the United States coastline is at risk for tsunamis, according to FEMA, with areas within a mile from shore and less than 25 feet above sea level in the greatest danger. Flooding, contaminated drinking water and fires are the most common effects of tsunamis. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAkijDDS61A&feature=related
- 8. VOLCANO In the United States, active volcanoes exist in Alaska, Hawaii, California, Washington and Oregon. A volcanic eruption occurs when the pressure from gases in a molten rock reservoir beneath a mountain build too high and can no longer be contained. Poisonous gas, rock, ash and lava flow from volcanoes, affecting a 20 to 100 mile area. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcjBb1QUy94&feature=fvsr
- 9. WILDFIRE Dry conditions cause wildfires in rural areas, forests and mountain states, according to the U.S. Fire Administration. Major wildfires in populated areas destroy homes, and the smoke from these fires causes respiratory problems, eye irritation and problems for people with chronic lung and heart diseases. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S8yKIJ8Tqc&feature=related
