1. Tsunami Indonesia

   • A powerful earthquake with a magnitude of now 7.3 hit the southern region of Japan. The earthquake hit around 1:25 AM local time, killing almost 25 people. This earthquake had taken the people by surprise as it had happened during early, early morning
   • This is seen as a natural disaster because the earthquake formed because of tectonic plates moving over each other in the region of the Ring of Fire. Many people were killed as it was an unexpected disaster because it happened early morning.

2. Hurricane Katrina

   • What happened was an earthquake had hit the New York region and was sweeping up the town. With heavy rains and winds, flooding was starting to become a problem when the water gets as high as a 2 story building in some parts.
   • This is listed as a disaster because it had caused structural damage to many buildings and food/water supply. Many people and cars and buildings were swept away in this hurricane

3. Nuclear War

   • Why this is a natural disaster is because it destroyed an entire area, killing people and destroyed the resources they would need to survive, if they hadn't died.
   • What happened was California had a nuclear explosion happen, killing all people and many animals. Only a few birds, stray cats, and dogs remained. The people were wiped out by the nuclear explosion, but a mechanical house, the last mechanical house, stood against the explosion, still going through its normal routine.

4. Tiatanic

   • What happened was the ship Titanic went on its maiden voyage, but multiple reasons show how the Titanic went under the waves. The iceberg and many flawed parts caused the Titanic to sink in 2 hours after making contact with the berg
   • This is a disaster because the ship was flawed from the start, using weaker rivets and someone forgetting to leave the binoculars for the crows nest and many more. Many people, as much as 15,000 died because of lack of lifeboats, giving them nowhere to go but to the freezing cold water.
