Cause and Effect of Earthquake

Sudden movements of plates along a fault can cause an extremely dangerous


event called an earthquake. Earthquakes generate large amounts of energy in
the form of waves. These waves cause the ground to shake and damage homes
and businesses on the Earth's surface.

Cause and Effect of Flood

Some causes of floods include heavy rainfall, high melting of snow and ice,
failures of water storage or water-diverging structures etc. The floods can lead to
various communicable diseases, damage the infrastructure and property,
damage any plants or wildlife that come in its path and contaminate habitats.

Cause and Effect of Tsunami


The main causes of a tsunami
are earthquakes, underwater landslides,
volcanic eruptions (including lava flowing
into the ocean), and potentially meteor
strikes. Tsunamis can have devastating
effects on local ecosystems, on the
economy of the communities they affect,
and on the health of their inhabitants.

Cause and Effect of Hurricane

The heat that's produced from the condensation warms the air, which causes it to
rise. As it rises, it sucks up surface-level air and creates the low-pressure eye of
the storm. This cycle continues until the storm is disrupted by stronger external
winds, or, as is more often the case, it hits land.

Cause and Effect of Wildfire


Intense heat and dry vegetation readily fuel a wildfire that can burn out of control.
And when there's strong wind, it creates ideal conditions for fires to become
widespread. Many forested areas are now experiencing prolonged fire seasons
as climate change increases the severity and frequency of wildfires.
