Natural disasters happen all over the world and they can be utterly devastating for people’s lives and the envirments in which they live. Although natural disasters are caused by nature and there is nothing that we can do to prevent them happening, there are many different natural causes that lead to natural disasters, and being aware of these causes enables us to be better prepared when such disasters do arrive.
e comm natural disaster is flooding, which occurs when a river bursts its banks and the water spills out to the floodplain. This is far more likely to happen when there is a great deal of heavy rain, so during very wet periods flood warnings are often put in place.
Earthquakes are another comm natural disaster that can cause many fatalities. The movements of the plates in the earth’s crust cause them. These plates do not always move smoothly and can get stuck, causing a build-up of pressure. It is when this pressure is released that an earthquake occurs. In turn, an earthquake under the water can also cause a tsunami, as the quake causes great waves by pushing large volumes of water to the surface.
Tsunamis can also be caused by underwater volcanic eruptis. Volcanic eruptis are caused by magma escaping from inside the earth. An explosi takes place, releasing the magma from a cfined space, which is why there are often also huge quantities of gas and dust released during a volcanic erupti. The magma travels up the inside of the volcano, and pours out over the surrounding area as lava.
e of the most comm natural disasters, but also e of the most commly forgotten, is wildfires. These take place in many different countries all over the world, particularly during the summer mths, and can be caused by a range of different things. Some of the things can be totally natural, while others can be manmade, but the speed at which they spread is entirely down to nature. The two natural causes of wildfires are the sun’s heat and lightning strikes, while they can also be caused by campfires, smoking, fireworks and many other things. The reass that they spread so quickly are prolged hot, dry weather, the vegetati dries out, which is why they often take place in woodland.
