Natural DisastersNatural disasters are extreme, sudden events caused by environmental factors that injure people and damage property.
Earthquakes, windstorms, floods, and disease all strike anywhere on earth, often without warning.
As examples, we've chosen disasters that have occurred around the world throughout history.All natural disasters cause loss in some way.
Depending on the severity, lives can be lost in any number of disasters.
Falling buildings or trees, freezing to death, being washed away, or heat stroke are just some of the deadly effects.
