What are Natural
Disasters?

A natural disaster is the


negative impact following the
actual occurrence of a natural
hazard in the event that it
significantly harms a community.
It usually leaves behind some
economic harm in addition to the
potential for loss of life or
property damage.
Types of Natural Disasters
• Volcanic • Drought
Eruption • Landslide
• Avalanche • Thunderstor
• Earthquake m
• Tsunami • Tornado
• Flood • Wildfire
Volcanic Eruption
Openings in the Earth's crust
called volcanoes allow lava,
gases, and ash to escape. We
refer to this as a volcanic
eruption when these elements
escape from the hole in the
planet's surface.
Avalanche

A massive mass of snow that is tumbling, sliding, or


flowing is an avalanche. Snow makes up the majority of
avalanches, and they differ from other landslides in terms
of their natural properties.
Earthquake
When the tectonic plates of
the Earth shift suddenly and
violently, earthquakes result.
The Earth's surface may be
extremely shaken as these
plates unexpectedly slide past
one another.
Tsunami

Massive waves called


tsunamis are caused by
geological behavior. Both
earthquakes and underwater
volcanic eruptions, which can
result in seismic waves
propagating across the ocean,
are the usual causes of these
waves.
Flash Flood

Any sort of flooding that starts within six hours of a period


of heavy rain or another water-related source is referred
to as a flash flood. Major storms are frequently
accompanied by flash floods.
Drought
The term "drought" refers to a
prolonged period of time
during which drier-than-
normal circumstances cause a
shortage of water or other
problems involving water.
Landslide

Any substantial flow of rock or debris down a slope is


referred to as a landslide. Unfortunately, landslides can
cause a significant amount of damage depending on their
size and are relatively common in some regions of the
Thunderstorm
A thunderstorm is a specific
kind of storm that develops in
the troposphere as a result of
intense, wet convection.
When these storms produce
lightning and thunder, they
are classified as
thunderstorms.
Tornado

A column of air that is rapidly


rotating is what is known as a
tornado. They originate at the
base of a cumulonimbus cloud
type, and they can produce
wind speeds of hundreds of
miles per hour.
Wildfire

Wildfires, which are unintentional and uncontrolled fires that


break out in grasslands, prairies, or forests, are a growing
danger to our way of life.
Wildfires are common in extremely dry regions of the earth.
Do you think we are able to
prevent natural disasters?
Natural occurrences cannot
be prevented by human
action. But if we understand
why they occur and what we
can do to stop them or lessen
their impact, we can lessen
their negative effects.
Let's do our ways to
prevent these disasters!
Encourage Others

Encourage others to join and organize a


campaign to plant mangroves and clean up the
beaches and rivers in the community.
Protect our Natural Resources

Let's all do our part to


preserve our precious
natural resources. Cutting
more trees makes our
communities more
vulnerable to rain and
landslides.
Identify the High-risk areas

The neighborhood must identify high-risk


disaster zones and prepare an evacuation point.
In the event that a calamity strikes a particular
location, people must have a plan for escape.
THANK YOU!
Let's support one another in
preserving nature.
