They are giant, spiraling tropical storms that can pack wind speeds of over 257 kilometers per hour and unleash more than 9 trillion liters of rain a day. These tropical storms are known as cyclones or typhoons.
Hurricanes
They are vertical funnels of rapidly spinning air. It forms when changes in wind speed and direction create a horizontal spinning effect inside a storm.
Tornados
They occur when water overflows or inundates land that's normally dry. This can happen in a lot of ways. Most common is when rivers or streams overflow.
Floods
Their explosive force produces mountains as well as craters. Lava rivers spread into landscapes.
Volcanic eruption
Is an extended period of unusually dry weather when there is not enough rain.
Drought
It's an electrical discharge caused by imbalances between storm clouds and the ground, or within the clouds themselves. Most of them occur inside the clouds.
Lightning
They happen when a tectonic plate scrapes, bumps, or drags along another plate. A powerful one can cause landslides, tsunamis, flooding, and other catastrophic events.
Earthquake
It’s a series of ocean waves that sends water, sometimes reaching heights of over 30.5 meters, onto land. These huge waves are typically caused by large, undersea earthquakes at tectonic plate boundaries.
Tsunami
They are uncontrolled blazes fueled by weather, wind, and dry vegetation. They can burn through hundreds of acres, destroying everything in their path in minutes.
Wildfire
They are masses of snow, ice, and rocks fhat fall rapidly down mountainsides. While They're sudden, the warning signs are almost always numerous before they happen.
Avalanches
