Dangerous Natural Disasters
Earthquakes and quakes
We consider earthquakes to be tremors or earthquakes that occur with vibratory, rapid and violent movements of the earth's surface, caused by disturbances inside the Earth (clash of tectonic plates). The difference between tremors and earthquakes is given by the intensity of the seismic movement, the latter being the most dangerous because its destructive effect can be fatal.
Volcanic eruptions
A volcanic eruption occurs when the magma that is inside the volcanoes and is generated from inside the earth, rises together with the gases that are also inside the volcano.
Hurricanes
A hurricane is a severe form of tropical storm. Hurricanes produce strong winds, heavy rains, and thunderstorms. Hurricanes can cause tremendous damage. Winds can exceed 155 miles per hour.
Tidal waves or tsunamis
Series of gigantic sea waves caused by an earthquake, volcanic eruptions or submarine landslides. Tsunamis are also called tidal waves.
Electric storms
Thunderstorms are dangerous storms that include lightning and can create or cause: High winds over 50 mph (80 km/h) Hail. Flash floods and/or tornadoes.
Floods
What is the flood?
Floods are temporary overflows of water onto land that is normally dry. Floods are the most common type of natural disaster in the United States. Failure to vacate flooded areas or enter flood waters can cause injury or death.
Forest fires
It corresponds to a fire that spreads without control through rural or urban vegetation and endangers people, property and the environment. In the world, forest fires are the most important cause of forest destruction.
