A natural disaster that i read and learned about was earthquakes. An earth quake is the shaking of the ground caused by the sudden dislocation within the earths outer layer or crust. This is caused by forces under ground pushing rock and overcoming the friction holding the rock in place. Some earth quakes occur when no one is around so no one may even notice them and other times they will occur in large populated areas and will cause complete destruction and chaos and will leave very extensive damage. If an earthquake is to ever occur in your area you are supposed to drop to the floor immmediatly where ever you are and take complete cover which means try to go under something. The rumbling produced by Earthquakes can produce varieties of damage such as damage and even destruction of buildings, bridges, roads, dams and will even trigger landslides. These are all facts and tips on what to do if an earthquake is to ever occur in your area and i hope some of these common facts and guidelines on earthquakes may save your life someday.
