Natural Disasters

4. Eruption The release of molten rock, ash, and gases from a volcano, often resulting in lava flows, ashfall, and potential volcanic hazards.
5. An overflow of water onto normally dry land, often caused by heavy rainfall, melting snow, or dam failure.
8. A depression or hole in the ground caused by the collapse of underlying rock or soil, often resulting from water erosion.
10. A severe weather event characterized by falling balls of ice called hail, often accompanied by thunderstorms.
12. An uncontrolled fire that rapidly spreads across vegetation, such as forests or grasslands, often fueled by dry conditions.
14. An extended period of excessively hot weather, often accompanied by high humidity, leading to health risks and heat-related issues.
15. A powerful storm with strong winds and heavy rain that forms over warm ocean waters, often causing damage and flooding.
16. Storm An atmospheric discharge of electricity accompanied by thunder, often occurring during thunderstorms.

1. A violent rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm cloud to the ground, characterized by a funnel shape.
2. A sudden and rapid flow of snow down a mountainside, often triggered by heavy snowfall, earthquakes, or human activity.
3. A large-scale weather system characterized by rotating winds and low-pressure areas, such as a tropical cyclone or typhoon.
6. The movement of a mass of rocks, soil, or debris down a slope, often triggered by heavy rain, earthquakes, or human activity.
7. A prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall, leading to a shortage of water resources and affecting agriculture and ecosystems.
9. A sudden shaking or trembling of the ground caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface.
11. A severe winter storm characterized by strong winds, heavy snowfall, and reduced visibility.
13. A series of enormous ocean waves caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides.
