Natural disasters can be divided into two categories: meteorological and geological. Meteorological disasters include hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, thunderstorms, and other weather-related events. Geological disasters include earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, tsunamis, and sinkholes. Both types of disasters have the potential to cause a lot of destruction and loss of life. Meteorological disasters often result in flooding, wind damage, or extreme temperatures which can lead to fires, crop failure, and other health problems. Geological disasters can cause massive landslides, tsunami waves, or even volcanic eruptions that can threaten lives and property.
