NATURAL+DISASTERS



=
A natural disaster is VERY simple to understand because the explanation is right in front of you! "natural" MUST be caused by nature, and "Disaster", MUST kill or hurt something or someone! A natural disaster is a disaster that is caused by nature, and nature only! If a man burns trees and it causes a bushfire, it is NOT a natural disaster because it was not made by nature, but by a human. Also, it is called a natural disaster when the disaster hurts, or causes people to die, and places to be ripped apart, it IS then a natural disaster! Now you get it? Nadine =====

Natural disatsers have to be caused by nature, they are called natural occurances if they don't cause much damage. They include: cyclones, twisters, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcano eruptions, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, droughts, landslides, avalanches and mudslides. Naomi & Kesaia =====

Natural disasters are only natural disasters when: they are caused by nature, (obviously, otherwise it wouldn't be "natural") and when they hurt a certain amount of people or animals are they then classified as a natural disaster. =====
