Natural disasters by Isaac tan


Natural Disasters
A natural disaster is the effect of a natural hazard (e.g. flood, tornado, volcano eruption, earthquake, or landslide) that affects the environment, and leads to financial, environmental and human losses. The resulting loss depends on the capacity of the population to resist the disaster, and their capability. Natural disasters are the cause of the tectonic plates underneath the ground. There are 12 of them in total. When they move, natural disasters such as earthquakes occur. People all panic but they take precautions if there were disasters ahead. There are some organizations such as RED CROSS which help victims from natural disasters. I will do my part by helping to donate as much money as I can.
