Detailed explanation-1: -Tornadoes, volcanoes, hurricanes and earthquakes are awesome forces of nature. Find out what causes them, where they occur and why-then read a survivor’s story.
Detailed explanation-2: -A tsunami is a series of enormous waves created by an underwater disturbance usually associated with earthquakes occurring below or near the ocean. Volcanic eruptions, submarine landslides, and coastal rock falls can also generate a tsunami, as can a large asteroid impacting the ocean.
Detailed explanation-3: -A natural hazard is the threat of an event that will likely have a negative impact. A natural disaster is the negative impact following an actual occurrence of natural hazard in the event that it significantly harms a community.
Detailed explanation-4: -We can deduce that volcanoes and earthquakes are caused by tectonic plate movements, they both pose a significant danger to humans, and result in deadly secondary effects like tsunamis.
