Tipes of natural disasters:

• Hurricane
• Tornado
• Earthquake
• Flood
• Wildfire

-Tornado: A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the Earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud.

-Hurricane: A tropical cyclone is a rotating low-pressure weather system that has organized thunderstorms but no fronts (a boundary separating two air masses of different densities).

-Earfquake: An earthquake is an intense shaking of Earth’s surface. The shaking is caused by movements in Earth’s outermost layer.

-Flood: an overflow of a large amount of water beyond its normal limits, especially over what is normally dry land.

-Wildfire: a large, destructive fire that spreads quickly over woodland or brush.
