Aside from hurricanes and typhoons, which are essentially the same thing, all of these have different causes. Here is each phenomenon simplified down to three causal factors.
Hurricanes/typhoons:
- Warm ocean water to power the storm
- Earth's rotation to set the storm spinning
- A disturbance to act as a "seed"
Tornadoes:
- Thunderstorms fueled by unstable air
- Wind shear to set storms spinning
- A downdraft to torn the rotation into a tornado
Volcanic eruptions:
- A source of magma (plate boundary or hot spot)
- A pathway to the surface
- Pressure from overlying rocks and trapped gasses
Earthquakes:
- Movement in the Earth's crust to create stress
- A fault for that stress to act upon
- Slipping of rock on either side of the fault

What is a a natural disaster?
It is a disaster that wasn't caused by mankind. It is a disaster caused naturally, like a major hurricane, a tsunami, an earthquake, a volcano eruption, a flood etc.Any event or force of nature that has catastrophic consequences, such as an avalanche, earthquake, flood, forest fire, hurricane, lightning, tornado, tsunami, and volcanic eruptions; a destructive event that affects the natural world and human communities.An earthquake that causes damage to property and loss of life is an example of a natural disaster.A natural disaster is the effect of a natural hazard (e.g. flood, tornado, volcano eruption, earthquake, or landslide) that affects the environment, and leads to financial, environmental and/or human losses.According to Wikipedia

What is worse a tornado earthquake volcano or hurricane?
One is not necessarily worse than the others. Each tornado, earthquake, volcanic eruption, and hurricane must be assessed individually. For all of these phenomena the magnitude of the effects can range from almost nothing to catastrophic. For example you can have an earthquake that does no more than knock a few pictures off of walls and a tornado that levels a whole town. Conversely, you can have an earthquake that devastates a whole region, killing thousands and a tornado that does no more than peel a few shingles. However, if we look at just the worst few cases of each type of event, earthquakes appear to come out on top. There have been more earthquakes in recorded history with death tolls in the tens to hundreds of thousands than there have been of the others, especially if you include deaths from the tsunamis that some earthquakes generate.
