Journal Entry
As I continued my tour we saw a place where several natural disasters have happened (flood, land slide, and a fire). The tour guide explained that natural disasters decrease the population of animals and humans. Then he went on to explain how the disasters happen. Landslides are caused by water, when water soaks into the dirt on the side of the hill the soil starts to shift because of the water and the laws of gravity. Floods happen when rain or snow melts and causes the water level to rise over their capacity. Fires can happen in many ways they are mostly caused by humans just by leaving a fire unattended or they did not put out the fire all the way, or it can be started by nature by a falling rock, lightning , etc. A falling rock can cause a spark and if the spark lands on a fuel source it can cause a fire. Lightning on the other hand is self explanatory, it can cause a fire just by striking any where there is something to burn.
Scientific information- A natural hazard Is any thing/disaster that happens naturally
