• We already know that a drought occurs when not enough rain falls to the ground.• Or droughts occur because water vapor
is not brought by air currents to the right areas at the right times.

Environmental - Increased desertification - Damage to animal species
- Reduction and degradation of fish and wildlife habitat - Lack of feed and drinking water - Disease - Increased predation. - loss of wildlife in some areas and too many in others - Increased stress to endangered species - Damage to plant species - Increased number and severity of fires - Wind and water erosion of soils

Social - Food shortages
- Loss of human life from food shortages, heat, suicides, violence - Mental and physical stress - Water user conflicts - Political conflicts - Social unrest- Public dissatisfaction with government regarding drought response - Inequity in the distribution of drought relief - Loss of cultural sites - Reduced quality of life which leads to changes in lifestyle - increased poverty- Population migrations

absorb water• Ice or other objects block the flow of
the river

• Damage property and homes• Kill people and animals• Communities in flood zones must be
rebuilt with proper flood controlling equipment

• A forest fire is a natural disaster consisting of a fire which destroys a forested area, and can be a great danger to people who live in forests as well as wildlife. Forest fires are generally started by lightning, but also by human negligence or arson, and can burn thousands of square kilometers.

![Page 30: Natural disaster](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042614/556168c3d8b42a72628b50ac/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• A tornado is a powerful column of winds spiraling around a center of low atmospheric pressure. It looks like a large black funnel hanging down from a storm cloud. The narrow end will move over the earth, whipping back and forth like a tail.

• Tornadoes are formed when hot air and cold air are mixed.• The clouds grow larger and larger.
Finally, a thunderstorm is brewed up with a strong updraft.• The moisture in the warm air rises and
condenses into large clouds.

• Low water, high silica (very viscous) - pasty lava - often building domes.
• Low water, low silica - runny lava flows (not viscous).
• High water, low silica(not viscous) - fountain of runny lava.
• High water, high silica (very viscous) – explosion.
