Focus Skill 24: Know Different Kinds of Natural Hazards (e.g. Earthquakes,volcanoes, landslides). a. Student will match pictures of cause and effect for natural hazards (flood, fire, drought, landslide, earthquake). b. Student will identify cause and effect that natural disasters have on animals and plants.

Natural disasters happen all over the world. But depending on where you live, some types of disasters are more common than others.



We Live in California! It's a great state.

Despite the awesomeness of California, we always have natural disasters that occur. Because of that, it's important to be aware of what they are, how they affect us, and what we can do if one happens.



An **earthquake ** (also known as a **quake **, **tremor ** or **temblor **) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the [|Earth's] [|crust]  that creates seismic waves.

Earthquakes happen when the Earth's plates build up enough pressure between themselves to cause one of the plates to slip.

Some earthquakes are very small and hardly noticeable.
