Natural Disasters

Natural disasters come in all different shapes and sizes also it has different appearances that could seem to be as harmless as a rain drop compared to a deadly tidal wave. People seem to think of a natural disaster as something that would kill all of humanity but in fact it does not. A natural disaster is an extreme level of weather that always has a type of scale or a magnitude scale that is depended on how much destruction or disturbance is done. So a natural disaster cannot be stopped but only to be prepared for the worst.
The most common scales in extreme weather is the Fajita scale ( used for tornadoes), the Richter scale (for earthquakes and Tsunamis), the Saffir-Simpson scale (for hurricanes) and the Volcanic Expolsitivity scale( for Volcanic eruptions)
Since Natural disasters cannot be be destroyed but, only  created and run by the power of the earth and the sun. Humans  also create natural disasters that have huge impacts on nature by breaking a huge dam which causes floods, by polluted air,water and food, acid rain and there is also some people when camping don't put out their fires which then bursts out to forest fires.
