    This document discusses several natural disasters including earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, and volcanoes. Earthquakes cause sudden shaking that can damage buildings, hurricanes form over warm ocean water and bring heavy rain and winds that also damage property when they make landfall, and tornadoes are violent funnel-shaped storms that are very destructive if they touch down. Tsunamis are large sea waves caused by underwater earthquakes or landslides that crash onto land and destroy everything in their path. Volcanoes are mountains that erupt molten rock and lava, pouring it out and destroying surrounding areas.

    Storms that form in warm ocean water.

    When they come onto land, the heavy
    rain, strong winds and heavy waves
    can damage buildings, trees and cars.


















    Natures most violent storms

    Formed from thunderstorms and have a
    funnel shape

    Very destructive when they touch the
    ground











    A giant sea wave caused by an
    Earthquake in the ocean

    Crashes on land and destroys
    everything in its path




    Volcanoes
    A mountain that opens up on the
    Earths surface and releases molten
    rock
    Lava pours out of the top and destroys
    everything in its path
