Natural disasters like\nearthquakes, tornado, tsunami and floods happen more frequently nowadays. There\nare many reasons why they occur, but the main one is related to human activity\non Earth which often has a negative impact on our environment. All kinds of\ndisasters are usually very damaging. Many dwellings, roads and even whole\nstreets and cities are ruined. The number of victims usually terrifies as\nhundreds or even thousands of people get injured or die in disasters. However,\neach disaster has a different nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, an earthquake\nis the result of the tectonic plates\u2019 movement which leads to the shaking of a\ncertain area on land. Earthquakes destroy buildings and people usually become\nvictims because they get stuck or killed under the rubble. Tornado is also a\nnatural disaster which looks like an enormous column of the wind which lifts\ncars, bicycles, furniture and many other things. It is also called a twister\nand it can be very dangerous if touches the surface of the ground or water.

Earthquake<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth\u2019s\ncrust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes show themselves by vibrations and\nshaking the ground. The vibrations may vary in magnitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of\nthe most significant earthquakes in recent times include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • The 2004 Indian\n Ocean earthquake, the third largest earthquake in recorded history. The\n huge tsunamis caused by this earthquake cost the lives of 229,000 people.<\/li>
  • The 2011 Tohoku\n earthquake and tsunami brought the death to over 13,000 people and over\n 12,000 people are still missing.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Flood<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A flood is an overflow of an expense of water that submerges land. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Some of\nthe most significant floods include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • The Great Flood of\n 1993 was one of the most devastating floods in the United States history.<\/li>
    • The 1998 Yangtze\n River Floods in China left 14 million people homeless.<\/li>
    • The 2012 Flood in\n Krasnodar region killed 162 people. Up to 43,000 people were affected by\n the disaster. The speed of the flood was shocking, carrying away not only\n homes but 16-ton trucks as well. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Tropical\ncyclones can result in great flooding, as happened with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • Typhoon Nina, which\n struck China in 1975,<\/li>
      • Hurricane Katrina,\n which struck Australia in 2011<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Drought<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        If an area has no rainfall or less rain than normal for a long period of\ntime, it is called a drought. Hot dry winds, very high temperature can also\nresult in conditions of the drought. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Well-known\nhistorical droughts include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        • In 2006, some\n states of Australia had been under drought conditions for 5 to 10 years. <\/li>
        • In 2006, Sichuan\n Province in China experienced its worst drought in modern times with 8\n million people and over 7 million cattle facing water shortages.<\/li>
        • In 2011, the State\n of Texas lived under a drought emergency declaration for the entire\n calendar year. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Disasters Dialogue<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            – Have any dangerous natural disasters ever happened in your area, Frank?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            – Oh,\nyes! There was an awful flood last year in our town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            – How\ndid you behave during and after the disaster?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            –\nEmergency workers rescued us from the flood. They helped us to climb on the roofs\nto escape the high level water. And we had a lot to do after the water had gone\naway. We repaired our houses and cleared away the rubbish on the roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            – I\u2019m\nreally shocked to hear that. Could the flood have been predicted?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            –\nUnfortunately nobody warned us of that but it was quite expected for all of us.\nIt didn\u2019t catch us by surprise because the snow had suddenly melted the day\nbefore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            – What\nis the most terrible natural disaster to your mind?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            – As\nfor me volcanic eruptions, tornadoes, earthquakes and tsunamis are the most\ndestructive. They cause a lot of damage and kill people and animals.
