Nature is acting strangely through many kinds of natural disasters.
Earthquakes: 90% of earthquakes occur around the Pacific Rim. In 1995, a huge earthquake struck the city Kobe in Japan. A large number of people were killed when homes, office blocks and highways collapsed.
Tidal waves: tidal waves are the result of an abrupt shift in the underwater movement of the Earth. In the 1960s, a huge tidal wave hit Anchorage, Alaska. The tidal wave traveled from Alaska to California!
Typhoon: When a tropical storm reaches 120 km per hour, it is called a hurricane in North and South America, a cyclone in Australia, and a typhoon in Asia. The word typhoon comes from Chinese, tai means “big” and feng means “wind”.
Volcanoes: We can usually predict when a volcano will erupt. Mount Pinatubo, which is a volcano in the Philippines, erupted in 1991. It was the largest volcanic eruption in more than 50 years.
Tornadoes: Tornadoes are funnel-shaped storms which pass overland below a thunderstorm. They can suck up anything that is in their path.
