Answer:
Natural disasters like earthquakes and landslides can be dangerous and destructive.
Explanation:
- An earthquake is the fast, swift shaking of the earth brought on by the shattering and movement of subsurface rock. If an earthquake happens in a populous region, it could result in numerous fatalities, serious injuries, and significant property damage. Despite the common misconception that earthquakes are a West Coast phenomena, Pennsylvania is one of 45 states and U.S. territories that are moderately to very susceptible.
- There are landslides and debris flows in every state in the US. Masses of rock, dirt, or other material tumble down a hill during a landslide. Storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, fires, and human land change can all trigger them.
- Debris flows and landslides can move quickly and strike with little to no notice at avalanche speeds. Additionally, they have a range of several miles and can pick up automobiles, trees, stones, and other objects along the way, expanding in size.
- It is crucial that you and your family are ready in advance since earthquakes and landslides can happen suddenly and without warning.
