How can people stop the effects of a natural disaster?
Again this is with not only to the careless people but also the smart ones that know what to do if one strikes.
this chart of things will tell you how to escape/recover from a natural disaster. Global warming is caused by the green house gases we produce that kills our atmosphere making the average global temperature increasing which is why the ice caps are melting. this is increasing water levels and now is creating more hurricanes and more floods around the world.
People can prevent a natural disaster for instance a fire: 1. flush out a fire(campfire) before you leave (can cause a forest fire). or a can stop smog if we stopped driving cars so much or any transportation devices.

Heavy Precipitation
Rain, snow and all other precipitation seems light soft and usually means that the seasons have changed for different types of precipitation for instance, usually in winter you get snow or freezing rain, in spring you usually get rain and little snow, in the summer you get tons of rain, drizzle and hail for the fall there are the same things as summer but snow is added to the list. in winter has the worst heavy snowfall that can be turned to a snow squall or can be turned into a blizzard. in the summer, you'd probably get heavy rain fall which could trigger a flood or sever amounts of hail from a sever storm. the types of precipitation are rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain, dry snow, hail etc.

Other types of tornados
Tornadoes are the deadliest natural disaster on land and is the only natural disaster that has three types (the same as floods)
these types of tornadoes are still as dangerous as the original funnel cloud tornadoes:
these types of tornadoes are still as dangerous as the original funnel cloud tornadoes:
- Dust devils: in desert areas, funnel clouds form on the sand and can still hurl someone up in the air
2. Waterspouts: an unleash of power within these funnel clouds that form over lakes or rivers and is usually mistaken for an ordinary tornado
and lastly believe it or not there are such things as 3. firenadoes: a funnel cloud that has formed over a fire or a gas station which makes this tornado "Fiery"
Cold waves and Heat waves
cold waves, a wave of cold air settles for about 1 or more days that the temperature has fallen to below -30 Celsius in which is also known as wind chill watch by environment Canada. Heat waves are the opposite, instead of going below -30 degrees, it goes above 30 degrees Celsius although it seems nice to have a heat wave but it is not because this is also related to a drought

volcanoes and tectonic shift
volcanoes, the mountains that spew liquid/ molten rock called lava or magma. The ring of fire is the most famous ring for volcanoes due to its size and accompanied by so much volcanoes and mountains.
tectonic plates move from the convection from the earth's mantle which moves/pushes the tectonic plates ( the crust). There are three types of plate movements:
1. converging plates moving together
2. diverging plates moving away
and
3. Transform slide past each other
Other effects is earthquakes, tsunamis and creates other fault lines.
