A tsunami is a train of gigantic waves that

occur after an earthquake or volcanic

eruption. They can be as high as 30 meters,
travel as fast as a jet plane and go as far as 2
kilometers. Most tsunamis happen in the
Pacific.
Earthquakes are the result of violent
shaking and movements of the Earths
surface. It causes great destruction.
 Floods are one of the worst natural
disasters and cost the most money. They
occur when storms cause rivers to
overflow or by high tides. They cause
enormous damage and loss of life.
 A volcano is a mountain with a large
opening at the top through which gases and
lava are forced out into the air. Volcanoes
happen because the Earth is hot inside. The
heat gets too hot and erupts lava through
the opening of the volcano.
