Natural disasters

Natural disasters

Natural disasters are a phenomenon which occur all around the world. Some are caused by moving tectonic plates, some are caused by wind and air pressure, and some are caused by other natural disasters.

Volcanic Eruptions
Volcanic eruptions are when volcanoes are erupting. There is a ring of fire and it is in the pacific ocean which is really close to new zealand. Some of the top of new zealand is in the ring of fire. The ring of fire has over 452 volcanoes. People used to believe that there was a god of fire and his name is Vulcan.
Earthquakes
Earthquakes are made by tectonic plates moving. When a conterical plate and another contrcial plate meet then they form a earthquake because a contronical plate is land.
Hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones
Hurricanes,Typhoons and cyclones are all the same things but I think Hurricanes are bigger, faster also stronger but they all might be all the same strength speed even how big they are but I still think hurricanes are bigger.

Tsunamis
Tsunamis are mostly caused by earthquakes because when it happens near the water it could shake the water and make a huge tsunami. But when the tsunami crash it could make a huge flood some of the tsunamis are bigger than a house.
Tornadoes
Tornadoes they are hardest to predict because they form anywhere at anytime.After a few minute or hours it would.You would wonder what is a tornado in is mix of cold air and hot air the cold is at the top and the warm air is at the bottom.They form mostly in summer and winter because the cold air and the warm air.They fast but travel small and it over land.



Floods and drought
Flood mostly caused by tsunamis and rainfall. Because is the drainage is full of water is could make a flood. Some of the country’s has bigger flood than New Zealand. And do you know that if tsunami hits the town it could make the a huge flood and it would take for weeks to make the flood go away.
Blizzards
You may wonder what a blizzard is it is just like a snowstorm but with strong wind that blow the snow to a certain direction.blizzard Usually last for 3 or more hour or days. Sometimes a whiteout can happen, which is when everything is white it like a blackout it's when you only see black.

Dust storm
Dust storm are caused by strong wind, dust and dirt at same time. When the strong wind meets then dirt and the dust it could a little sand storm but when the strong wind gets more dust it could make a huge dust storm. But how do sand storm finish, the sand storm finish when the strong wind stops.



Man-made and natural disasters can devastate people and the places we live in. Although we can’t predict most natural disasters, we can do our best to keep safe and look after our properties and things we value.
