READING
When something is natural, it comes from nature and it is not manmade. A disaster is
something that usually causes major problems. It would be a disaster if a bridge suddenly fell
because it was not built properly. Disasters are negative but can be manmade. However, when
speaking about natural disasters you can combine the two terms and define them as catastrophes
that occur in nature or by natural processes. They are not manmade. A natural disaster takes place
in populated areas of the world when lives may be lost, the property is severely damaged, and the
economy is negatively affected.
Natural disasters may include an asteroid collision with Earth, avalanche, landslide, blizzard,
thunderstorm, earthquake, flood, gamma-ray burst (from space), volcano, heat wave, hurricane,
solar flare, drought, tornado, tsunami, hail, and wildfire.
 It is not a natural disaster if it occurs in an unpopulated area and there is no loss of life or
property damage. For example, if a tsunami took place on an uninhabited island, it would not be a
disaster. Disasters cause a loss. There are many things that can happen during a natural disaster.
Sometimes, more than one disaster occurs at the same time. Landslides may occur during severe
flooding and thunderstorms.
Natural disasters occur throughout the world, and often people know when they are coming and
can prepare for them and be safe. Other disasters may occur without warning. Most people die
during a natural disaster when there is no time to prepare for it. Though natural disasters cause
many problems, injuries, and sometimes death, they are not to be feared, but being aware of them
and properly preparing for them is extremely important.
In addition, there are natural disasters that can occur more often in one part of the world or
country than in other regions. For example, a person living in the middle of the United States
would not need to be concerned with a tsunami, but someone living along the coast would be
affected. In the middle of the country, a tornado might occur, but often there are fewer of them
along the coast.
The top 10 natural disasters most likely occurring throughout the world include blizzards,
droughts, earthquakes, floods, heat waves, hurricanes, thunderstorms, tornados, tsunamis, and
wildfires. Some of the listed disasters may occur simultaneously such as a hurricane and
thunderstorm causing massive flooding, or possibly a tsunami, or a heat wave coupled with
wildfires.
Other natural disasters include landslides and avalanches, which can be caused by earthquakes,
heavy rain or snow, or other disasters. Snow or mud can be released from the side of a mountain
or hillside burying the area below. Finally, there are active volcanoes, which are eruptions of a
mountaintop, sending out ash clouds, lava, and more, causing damage to property and the loss of
human life.
The most common types of natural disasters in the world are floods and storms.
All natural disasters cause damage and destruction, and often one or more people die due to the
effects of the natural disaster. Many of the disasters can be predicted ahead of time with some
warnings given for people to prepare and move to safety.
