"NO it isn't a hurricane is it has the most death toll and can cause more natural disasters such as tornadoes and storm surges."
I'm sorry, but that answer was lame! L.O.L!
Forces from the land generate a lot more energy than forces from the air and even the ocean.
Have you ever thought about why earthquakes are so powerful? Do you know how much more energy it takes for miles and miles of solid, dense material that is miles deep to move, shift all that once than for a powerful EF-4 or EF-5 tornado of a mile to 2 miles wide to form or a hurricane??
Megathrust earthquakes and supervolcanoes are THE MOST powerful destructive forces of nature!
Think about all that energy and how far their effects reach. A supervolcanic eruption can blow a large portion of a state to kingdom come and put the entire Earth under a cloud of ash-fortunately such cataclysms occur once every hundreds of thousands of years.
A magnitude 9 earthquake always generates a tsunami that reaches all the way across the ocean, slugging distant lands. The earthquake of that size can slightly stutter the Earth from its axis and leave the entire Earth oscillating for days! It is strong enough to be felt all over the world!
How dare one say a hurricane is more powerful than a big earthquake! L.O.L!
cyclones are the most worst natural disaster
An earthquake
I think earthquakes are the most dangerous. You have no warning, and they can do the most damage in the shortest amount of time. A 15-second earthquake can kill hundreds. Most other natural disasters have some kind of warning to them. The only natural disaster I can think of that doesn't give you a warning other than an earthquake is a tsunami.
In terms of energy output an earthquake is the most powerful.
The most dangerious natureal disaster that appears common on earth is often answered as the hurricane, but they are wrong. The most dangerous disaster would be meteorites, since the chance (if homing in on land) of getting hit is 200,000:1. However, theres nothing to worry about as most of these raindrops from hell typically land into the ocean.

No. In terms of wind speed a tornado is the strongest. In terms of energy released and earthquake is the strongest.
the most famous disater is the earthquake in chile.

Not even in the top five. The most dangerous natural disaster would be an asteroid strike, which can wipe out all life on a continent. A large volcano might be #2, while a strong earthquake and an accompanying tsunami can spread havoc to an entire ocean basin.

Earthquakes are th most common natural disaster to to hit Japan.
There have been many natural disasters in New Zealand over the last 100 years. Most notable The Napier Earthquake of 1931, The Tangiwai Disaster of 1953 (caused by Lahar overflow), Christchurch Snow Disaster of 1992. There will be more but these are most notable.
