What are the effects of earthquakes?

• Avalanches, blizzards, and hailstorms.

• Droughts, floods, and heatwaves.

• Volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, and tornadoes.

• Ground shaking, surface rupture, landslides, tsunamis, and secondary hazards such as fires and liquefaction.

What are the effects of hurricanes?

• Hurricanes can actually improve the weather conditions.

• Hurricanes only cause mild winds and light rain.

• Hurricanes have no effect on the environment.

• Hurricanes can cause strong winds, heavy rainfall, storm surges, flooding, and damage to infrastructure and property.

What are the effects of floods?

• Floods can lead to increased crop yields.

• Floods can cause damage to infrastructure, homes, crops, and can lead to loss of life and displacement of people.

• Floods have no effect on infrastructure or homes.

• Floods are beneficial for the environment and wildlife.

What are the effects of wildfires?

• Destruction of vegetation, loss of wildlife habitat, air pollution, release of carbon dioxide, and soil erosion.

• Promotion of vegetation growth, expansion of wildlife habitat, decrease in air pollution, sequestration of carbon dioxide, and soil preservation.

• Enhancement of vegetation, creation of wildlife habitat, reduction of air pollution, absorption of carbon dioxide, and soil conservation.

• Increase in vegetation, preservation of wildlife habitat, improved air quality, reduction of carbon dioxide, and soil enrichment.

How do earthquakes affect the environment?

• Earthquakes can cause landslides, tsunamis, avalanches, soil liquefaction, and disrupt ecosystems.

• Earthquakes can create new ecosystems.

• Earthquakes have no impact on the environment.

• Earthquakes can cause hurricanes and tornadoes.

How do hurricanes impact human lives?

• Hurricanes impact human lives by causing destruction and various negative consequences.

• Hurricanes impact human lives by bringing good luck and prosperity.

• Hurricanes only impact human lives in a positive way.

• Hurricanes have no impact on human lives.

What are the consequences of floods on infrastructure?

• Floods can cause severe damage to infrastructure.

• Floods only affect natural environments, not infrastructure.

• Floods can slightly affect infrastructure.

• Floods have no impact on infrastructure.
