- Sure, son! I'd love to hear that.
- Dad, we had a lesson about natural disasters today and I am going to share my knowledge with you while we walk home.
- That's right, son. Natural activities occurring in the earth's crust and surface are the primary causes of natural disasters.
- Dad, did you know that natural disasters are caused by a variety of factors such as soil erosion, seismic activity, tectonic movements, air pressure, and ocean currents, and some others.
- So let me ask you. What causes an earthquake?
- Earthquakes are usually caused by underground rock breaking unexpectedly and moving rapidly along a fault.
- The seismic waves that cause the ground to shake are caused by this quick release of energy.
- Yes, son. It was devastating. Ground shaking, surface faulting, ground failure, and, less frequently, tsunamis are all effects of earthquakes.
- Dad, have you ever experienced an earthquake?
- That's scary, dad. I hope earthquakes will never happen as well as the other natural disasters
- The effects of floods are terrible, son. It causes havoc on communities, causing death and damage to personal property as well as important public health infrastructure.
- What else have you learned today, son?
- The causes of floods. In coastal areas, floods are frequently caused by heavy rainfall or a storm surge from a tropical cyclone or tsunami.
- If these disasters continue it would be a great danger to earth.
- We may not be able to prevent natural disasters, but we can be prepared for them. There are also many ways to reduce the damage caused by natural disasters. Keep safe.
- Natural disasters always result in loss of life and property damage, as well as economic damage, the severity of which varies depending on the severity of the disaster.
