Rapid melting ice, broken dams, and an excess of rain will all cause floods. Floods can be very slow to develop so the people who are living near can escape quickly. 140 people die of floods every year and the flood can do up to $3,000,000 worth of damage.

Earthquakes

Earthquakes are cause by the shifting of plates on the earth's surface. The most common type of earthquake is the Tectonic Earthquake earthquakes that happen when the crust breaks. The second type is called the Volcanic Earthquakes which an earthquake that might cause a volcano to erupt by breaking the crust to release magma. Another type of earthquake is the Collapse Earthquakes which are small earthquakes in mines that are caused by exploding rock above. The last type is the explosion earthquakes which are caused when there is a bomb or other exploding device.

Volcanos

Volcanos can erupt anytime and it can launch deadly things like molten rock, gases and pyroclastic debris. The different types of volcanos are cinder cones, composite volcano/stratovolcano, shield volcano, lava dome, and Diamond Head. The word "volcano" came from the god Vulcan who was said to have a forge and made the first volcanos. The largest volcano is the Mauna Loa which is about 6 miles tall from the sea to its top. It also has the greatest volume of any volcano, 10,200 cubic miles.

Landslides

Landslides are rock, earth, or debris that tumble down mountains and can bury homes. 5 different types of landslides are Rock Slides, Earth Flows, Debris Slides, Debris Flows and Rock Falls. Rock slides are also known as slump rock that slumps downward when it becomes too heavy to hold. Earth flow is when silt and clay is flow downwards. Rock fall is when huge slabs of rock break apart and fall to the ground.

Hurricanes

Hurricanes are known as typhoon and are incredibly deadly. In the Northern Hemisphere, the hurricane can happen from June 1 to Nov. 30, while the Southern Hemisphere generally experiences hurricane activity from January to March.
