Natural Events and Their Effects
Natural events happen all around the world. These include storms, earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions. Each event is different, but they can all
cause damage to the environment and people's lives.
Storms often bring strong winds and heavy rain, which can knock down trees and damage buildings. Earthquakes shake the ground, breaking roads and
buildings. Floods happen when too much water covers the land, affecting homes and farms. Volcanic eruptions send ash and lava into the air, which can
make it hard to breathe and damage the land.
People prepare for natural events by staying informed, building stronger homes, and keeping emergency supplies ready. After these events, communities
work together to clean up and rebuild.
