Disaster around the world

What if a disaster happens? What can I do to prepare?

There are a lot of deadly natural disaster in the world. Such as Tsunami’s , Earthquake’s, Volcanic Eruption’s and many more, but they can kill a lot of people. All the natural disasters have something to do with the earth or the weather.

Earthquakes are also known as quake, tremor, temblor. Earhquakes are formed as the Tectonic plates move under the earths crust, they move around and hit each other causing an earthquake. Sometimes earthquakes have after shock and usually faults appear on the ground. Most people usually use a Richter Scale by measuring how big the earthquake was.

Tsunamis are made by a undersea earthquakes. A very helpful tip for knowing a tsunami is coming is, the tide is out and some frothy stuff is left. So warn people if you see something like that. Make sure that you are prepared when there is a Tsunami.

Volcanic Eruptions are one of the most dangerous disasters. Volcanoes erupt when the Earths plates pull apart causing magma to rise to the surface. They also occur over hotspots and where 1 plate dives beneath another forcing magma to rise to the surface.
