■ Tsunamis
■ Tornadoes
■ Hurricanes
■ Earthquakes
■ Volcanoes
■ Floods
■ Winter Storms

■ Form as a result of earthquakes, volcanoes, or landsides under the ocean
■ Waves grow taller as they reach the coast
■ Four out of Five occur in the Ring of Fire
■ Over 200,000 people killed in the 12/26/04 Indian Ocean tsunami.

■ Rotating, funnel-shaped clouds from
powerful thunderstorms
■ Winds up to 300 MPH capable of producing
major damage
■ More occur in the United States than
anywhere else in the world; they occur in
every state in America.

■ Massive severe storms occurring in the
tropics
■ Winds greater than 75 MPH
■ Clouds & winds spin around the eye
■ Produce heavy rains, high winds, large
waves, and spin-off tornadoes

■Shaking caused by movements
of plates in the earth’s crust
■Occur along faults – borders
between two plates
■Occur most often along the Ring
of Fire

■More than 500 active volcanoes in
the world; over half in the Ring of
Fire
■Pressure builds below the earth’s
surface producing eruptions of
lava, rock, and volcanic gases

■ Result from heavy rains
■ May involve rivers overflowing,
storm surge/ocean waves, & dams
breaking
■ Most common natural hazard
■ Flashfloods = floods that happen
very fast

■May include snow, ice storms,
freezing rain, and extremely cold
temperatures
■Most deaths occur in automobiles
■Storms may cause widespread
power outages

■ Occur in forests, grasslands, and
wooded areas
■ Most common causes: lightning and
human accidents
■ Burn more than 4 million acres in the
U.S. each year

a period of below-average precipitation in a given
region, resulting in prolonged shortages in the water
supply
It can have a substantial impact on the ecosystem
and agriculture
The most prolonged drought ever in the world in
recorded history occurred in the Atacama Desert in
Chile (400 Years)
