- - - - Earthquakes and tsunamis
        
        Earthquakes can happen on any plate boundary,earthquakes occur when tension is released from inside the crust.Plates do not always move smoothly alongside each other and sometimes get stuck.When this happens pressure builds up.
        
        A tsunami is a large sea wave caused by the displacement of a large volume of water. They can be caused by earthquakes triggered by moving sections of the Earth's crust under the ocean.

      - Tectonic hazards are hazard events caused by tectonic plates colliding into each other, moving against each other, moving apart or subduction between a less dense plate and a more dense plate.
    - - tornado
        
        Tornadoes are vertical funnels of rapidly spinning air. Their winds may top 250 miles an hour and can clear a pathway a mile wide and 50 miles long.Twisters are born in thunderstorms and are often accompanied by hail. Giant, persistent thunderstorms called super cells spawn the most destructive tornadoes.
        
        Droght
        
        A drought is a natural disaster of below-average precipitation in a given region, resulting in prolonged shortages in the water supply, whether atmospheric, surface water or ground water.
        
        thunderstorms
        
        A thunderstorm is a storm with lightning and thunder. Its produced by a cumulonimbus cloud, usually producing gusty winds, heavy rain and sometimes hail.
        
        Snow
        
        Snow forms when water vapor turns directly into ice without ever passing through a liquid state. As snow falls to the ground, it often melts on the warm surface of the Earth. If the surface of the Earth is chilled sufficiently, snow begins to pile up, creatingsnow drifts.
        
        tropical cyclones
        
        A tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm system characterised by a low-pressure centre, a closed low-level atmospheric circulation, strong winds, and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain.
        
        Hail
        
        Hail is a type of precipitation, or water in the atmosphere. Hail is formed when drops of water freeze together in the cold upper regions of thunderstorm clouds. These chunks of ice are called hailstones. Most hailstones measure between 5 millimeters and 15 centimeters in diameter, and can be round or jagged
        
        lightning
        
        Lightning is an electric charge or current. It can come from the clouds to the ground, from cloud to cloud, or from the ground to a cloud. Lightning is a product of a planet's atmosphere. Raindrops very high up in the sky turn to ice.
      - Climatic hazards are agents of disaster in terms of what they may do to human settlements or to the environment. Potentially hazardous atmospheric phenomena include tropical cyclones, thunderstorms, tornadoes, drought, rain, hail, snow, lightning, fog, wind, temperature extremes, air pollution, and climaticchange.

        The volcano can erupt anytime, so you never know.Volcanoes can be unpredictable
        
        The ash can trap you and burn you
