Natural Disasters



A Natural disaster is something that affects the environment by ruining houses, cars, people, animals, trees, and even the ground. There are many types of natural disasters like avalanches, tornadoes, hurricanes, sand storms, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes, and wild fires. Not all of these happen everywhere. On the Pacific coast of North America there are not a lot of hurricanes. We don't see avalanches in hot dry places. Tornados are mostly found in the American prairies. Sand storms only happen in hot dry places. Tsunamis are found mostly along ocean communities. Volcanoes and earthquakes are mostly likely to be found along the ring of fire. Natural disasters can happen almost anywhere so watch out!
