Natural Disasters: Typhoons and Earthquakes

How is an earthquake formed?

• When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and cause the shaking that we feel.

• An earthquake occurs when two pieces of the earth's crust suddenly move past one another.

• A typical typhoon forms due to high temperatures around the sea surface, as a result of which water evaporates and becomes warm and humid air.

• A typhoon is a tropical cyclone that develops between 180° and 100°E in the Northern Hemisphere

How does an earthquake affect humans?

• Trauma-related deaths and injuries from building collapse; trauma-related deaths and injuries from the secondary effects of the earthquake, like drowning from tsunamis or burns from fires.

• People can be killed, injured, or lost during typhoons.
