earthquakes can shift things around, like landforms, and mess around with the climate. they are very hazardous. landforms: trees around, can get on telephone poles- fire flooding: climate and levee breaks, or such- The first wave of an earthquake is a strong up ward moving wave known as the primary wave, or Transverse wave. This first wave causes little destruction but can be the most forceful The second, longer wave has a side to side movement, this wave is known as a Longitudinal wave. This wave causes most of the destruction The first wave basically really mucks up the ground, it causes stress fractures in the crust of our earth. The second wave then sakes the already craked ground until land slides, trees or buildings fall over. When certain things under a house suddenly get ripped up, things start to cetch on fire. Floods happen because the levies and dikes brake during the second wave.
A violent destruction of a building during an earthquake can simultaneously rupture both gas lines and electrical cables. In close proximity: A fire is started. That is one example, there are many other ways it can happen, too.
The "flooding" from an earthquake may in fact be a tsunami. Some earthquakes cause the sea floor to shift vertically. This shift displaces large amounts of seawater, resulting in large surge-like waves called tsunamis that can devastate coastal areas. Earthquakes can also destroy dams, releasing the water stored behind them.
Earthquakes can break gas and electrical lines. The gas is highly flammable and electrical sparks can start fires. In older times earthquakes would frequently cause wood and coal-burning stoves to spill their contents.
Earthquake cause fires and floods when gas pipes and and water mains break.
it can cause a fire if a house get knocked down and the electrical break a fire can start
earthquakes creates fire by knocking down powerlins
Yes. Thunderstorms are the primary cause of flash floods.
Flash floods are dangerous because they happen suddenly It rains VERY hard, and then it floods up.
flash floods
Flash floods are formed due to cloud brusts and torrential rains.

Yes. Thunderstorms are the primary cause of flash floods.
Usually, no. They can, however, cause Earthquakes.
They don't. Thunderstorms cause flash floods by producing heavy rain that can overwhelm natural and artifical drainage systems.
Flash floods are floods that happen quickly and without warning. Like they appear in a "flash".
The Floods that happen suddenly are called Flash Floods.
Earthquakes, floods, and volcanoes

Flash floods are floods that are caused by a storm. Normal floods are caused by non-stop rain.
Floods, drought, fires and earthquakes are examples of natural disasters.
by going up on high places because cyclones can cause floods or sometimes even flash floods
a flash flood can be caused by a excessive amount of rain mostly down a hill or stream and earth quakes (:
