Natural hazards are dangerous and uncontrollable events that occur within nature such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes. In this assignment you will select one of the major types of natural hazards to research, and then you will create a presentation about that natural hazard.

Select one of the following natural hazards to explore in-depth, and then create a presentation about the hazard you select following the guidelines below.

  • Tornado
  • Hurricane
  • Earthquake
  • Mudslide
  • Tsunami
  • Volcanic eruption

Create a multimedia presentation explaining how and why the natural hazard you selected occurs in nature.

  • In what regions do these types of natural hazards typically occur?
  • What conditions need to be present for their occurrence?
  • How dangerous or damaging are they typically for humans?
  • How have humans adapted to these hazards in various regions around the world?

Please provide examples to support your presentation, including images, graphics, and audio (optional). Finally, you will discuss one significant historical event in which a region was dramatically impacted by this hazard.

  • What happened to the physical region after the incident?
  • How were the people living there affected?
  • Is there a risk of this type of event happening again in the future?
  • How have the people living there prepared themselves against another similar event?

Please structure your multimedia presentation as follows:
