One of the most powerful disasters is a tsunami. It is a large wave, which moves to the seashore. Earthquakes can cause a tsunami. Earthquakes are another disaster that happen because of the movements in the Earth\'s crust. When an earthquake happens, everything shakes and falls in the buildings. If an earthquake is strong, it can ruin buildings and roads.
Tsunami and heavy rains also can cause floods. For example, in India, there are monsoon rains that make the level of the river higher, and many people have to leave their places of living. In other parts of the planet, there are different problems. Summer heat can cause fire, and this can harm both people and animals.

the fire for a long time.
