Earthquake
Earthquake is the shaking of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in
the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes can range in size from those that are
so weak that they cannot be felt to those violent enough to toss people around and destroy whole
cities.
Causes

Earthquake is used to describe any seismic event whether natural or caused by humans, Natural are
cause by the rupture of geological faults or volcanic activity, but also caused by humans, nuclear
tests.
Effects

Most earthquake-related caused by collapse of structures that produce human death, earthquakes
under the water cause tsunamis.

Recommendations
Take cover under a sturdy table and keep calm, Beware of falling objects
keep away from windows, Only leave the building when the surrounding area is safe, Keep away from
buildings, bridges, electricity pylons, large trees, and other things that could collapse or fall.

2. Tornado

A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the Earth and
a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud Tornadoes come in many shapes
and sizes, and they are often visible in the form of a condensation funnel originating from the base of
a cumulonimbus cloud, with a cloud of rotating debris and dust beneath it
Causes

Tornado is caused by unusually violent thunderstorms when there is sufficient instability and wind
shear present in the lower atmosphere. Instability refers to unusually warm and humid conditions in
the lower atmosphere. Wind shear in this case refers to the wind direction changing
Effects

Structural damage is done during a tornado by wind speeds. A tornado can uproot objects as large
as trees and send them flying through the air like missiles. Each year, about 60 people are killed by
tornadoes.
Recommendations

Identify a safe place in your home where household members and pets will gather, pick a hallway in
the center of the building. choose a safe place in a nearby sturdy building. Remain calm and try to
keep your family together during and after the tornado.

2. Hurricane

A hurricane is a rapidly rotating storm system characterized by a low-pressure center, a closed low-
level atmospheric circulation, strong winds, and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce
heavy rain. Depending on its location and strength, a tropical cyclone is referred to by different names.
Tropical refers to the geographical origin of these systems.

Causes
They start close to the equator where warm and wet air above the water rises. When the humid air
rises it condenses, leaving an area of lower air pressure above the oceans surface which is quickly
filled by air in the surrounding areas.
Effects

Storm surge: This is a rise in the oceans water level as a result of extreme winds blowing over the
seas surface. Floods, Hurricanes carry a lot of rains with it. Winds Houses, cars, farms, and many
other structures are blown away by the powerful winds that come with hurricanes. Impact on the
economic, cause by the destruction.
Recommendation

Listen to the radio or TV for information., Make plans to secure your property. Ensure a supply of
water for sanitary purposes Stay indoors until the authorities declare the storm is over o not go outside,
even if the weather appears to have calmed, Stay away from all windows and exterior doors.

2. Fire

Fire damage causes so devastation inside a home or a building. Getting through fire damage can be
a source of great pain on you. You need professional assistance if there is any such mishap in the
building.
Causes

Electricity is one of the major sources of fire accidents. When you use electric things and fail to
adhere to safey measures, electricity becomes in a destructive force. Gas. The careless use of gas
is a sure path of destruction. Gas is a highly inflammable material. If you dont keep a check on gas
