2. Hazards vs. disasters
Natural hazards are severe climate, geologic and astrologic events which happen naturally.
A natural hazard becomes a natural disaster when it destroys lives or livelihoods of people.
Natural disasters can happen in all parts of the world, but some regions tend to have more natural hazards than others.

Most are located along the Ring of Fire, a circle of plate boundaries in the Pacific Ocean.

5. earthquakes Occur when the earth’s plates move and release energy.
Most occur along the Ring of Fire, a circle of plate boundaries in the Pacific Ocean.

7. tsunamis

9. hurricanes
Are types of tropical storms that form in the Southern Atlantic Ocean.
Severe thunderstorms tend to accompany hurricanes.
The coasts of the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean have the biggest hazard of hurricanes.

11. tornadoes Are the most violent storms in nature.
