Wildfires are natural and uncontrolled fires which are caused due to various factors like dryness, wind, temperature, and combustible material like wood.

Cyclones are intense storms which cause damage due to high winds and increased precipitation. They create rotating shapes due to the inward direction of the wind

Tornadoes are rotating vortexes of air that create extensive damage due to high winds. This happens when humid warm air collides with cold and dry air.

Flooding is the overflow of a water body which is above normal limits and can damage dry, terrestrial land. They are typically caused by torrential rain.

Drought is a natural disaster that creates a lack of water in the soil and water bodies due to an extensive period of little to no rain.

A tsunami is a large sea wave caused by an earthquake within the sea or by a volcano

A volcano is a rupture of magma above the earth crust which results in severe air pollution and damage to nearby areas.

Earthquakes are powerful shakings on the ground which damages infrastructure extensively and may cause tsunamis
