A volcano can cause something called a pyroclastic flow. This is an extremely hot cloud of volcanic gases and burning embers that burns everything it touches. A pyroclastic flow happens when the column of gases and ash spewing out of a volcano loses its upward momentum and begins to rapidly collapse down over the cone of the volcano and surrounding landscape. The cloud can move as fast as the speed of sound and can extend for several miles. This is what killed the victims at Vesuvius, not the flows of molten lava that you sometimes see moving along the ground in videos of the Hawaiian volcanos. Pyroclastic flows happen when the lava of a volcano has a very high amount of gas mixed in with it. The lava of the Hawaiian volcanos does not have enough gas mixed in to cause pyroclastic flows.

Earthquakes can create tsunamis, seiches, and mass land movement. This land movement can create landslides or liquifaction of local soils, and/or disrupt utilities and transportation corridors (roads, railways, bridges, and runways). In some areas, earthquakes can release underground pockets of toxic or flammable gases.

Why cyclone is considered as natural hazards?

A natural disaster is a naturally occurring undesirable phenomenon which causes damage or else is not viewed favorably by humans. Cyclones, when severe or unexpected, may take a serious toll on human lives and property and can cause billions of dollars worth of damage. They are certainly also naturally occurring - part of the Earth's natural cycle. These two factors together make the cyclone a natural disaster.

How do you control natural disasters?

A natural disaster cannot be controlled per se. After all, who can control the Earth and its movements? However, the damage they cause can be severely reduced by taking certain precautions, such as earthquake proofing buildings, constructing protective walls along shores to (attempt to) lessen the effect of tsunamis, evacuate people from the vicinity of the natural disaster, etc.
