- Natural disaster or natural phenomenon?. by Film Ideas (Firm); Findaway World, LLC.(CARDINAL)345268;
Earthquakes: An earthquake can be one of the most destructive natural disasters on Earth! It comes without warning and in a matter of seconds can level a city.Hurricanes: Hurricanes are nature's giants, some reaching up to nine miles tall!! But one thing is nearly certain--every year there will be a few hurricanes that do hit land. From space, a hurricane looks like a giant, circular, swirling cloud--with a hole in the center. The hole is called the "eye" of the storm. A hurricane is one of the biggest, most dramatic shows that Nature can put on. It's an extreme example of our global weather system in action. A hurricane is an awe-inspiring event--but one you'll want to observe from a safe distance!Tornados: We live in an ocean of air. It's all around us, everyplace, all the time ... so most of the time we don't even think about it. We only notice air when it moves--when it becomes a wind. Wind can be part of a storm that can make for messy weather. In certain parts of the country people have to watch out for one of the most dangerous forms that wind can take, tornadoes!Tsunamis: A virtual what, how, when, where, why and wow of Mother Nature's most wild side.

Fortunately for us, dangerous tsunamis are also extremely rare.Volcanoes: Volcanoes are part of the natural process of the earth. They can bring terrible disaster.
