As you know, our environment is getting more 

polluted... 

If the pollution continues, more and more 

natural disaster might happen... 

DROUGHTS

The most common form of drought is a lack of 

water vapor in the atmosphere, which is 

responsible for precipitation. A lack of moisture 

in the air causes wildfires that can damage 

communities and food supplies, ruin forests, or 

harm people and animals.Of all the water on 

earth, only .003 percent is available fresh water 

that is not polluted, trapped in soil, or too far 

underground.Drought is able to kill you without 

no water. Know you can die in a desert too.

TORNADOES

A tornado is a fast spinning tube of air that

touches both the ground and a cloud above.

Tornadoes are sometimes called twisters.

States most often hit by tornadoes include

Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma and Florida. 3 out of 

every 4 tornadoes in the world happen in the 

United States. The strength of tornadoes can 

lift up cars and tear houses apart. The United 

States have an average of 800 tornadoes every 

year.

EARTHQUAKES

Some 80 percent of all the planet's earthquakes 

occur along the rim of the Pacific Ocean, called the 

"Ring of Fire" because of the preponderance of 

volcanic activity there as well. Most earthquakes 

occur at fault zones, where tectonic plates-giant rock 

slabs that make up the Earth's upper layer-collide or 

slide against each other. These impacts are usually 

gradual and unnoticeable on the surface; however, 

immense stress can build up between plates. 

When this stress is released quickly, it sends 

massive vibrations.

FLOODS

If you live in a Special Flood Hazard Area high-risk 

area and have a Federally backed mortgage, your 

mortgage lender requires you to have flood 

insurance. No region is safe from flooding. All 50 

states are subject to flash floods.Flash floods can 

bring walls of water from 10 to 20 feet high. A car can 

be taken away in as little as two feet of water.
