Earthquake, any sudden shaking of the ground caused by the passage of seismic waves through Earth's rocks.
A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land that is usually dry. In the sense of "flowing water", the word may also be applied to the inflow of the tide. Floods are an area of study of the discipline hydrology and are of significant concern in agriculture, civil engineering and public health.

6 points of earthquake..
1.Natural events such as volcanic eruptions and meteor impacts can cause earthquakes, but the majority of naturally-occurring earthquakes are triggered by movement of the earth's plates.
2.The earth's surface consists of 20 constantly moving plates. The pressure increase from shifting plates can cause the crust to break. This break allows stress to be released as energy, which moves through the earth in the form of waves (aka earthquakes).
3.Almost 80% of all the planet's earthquakes occur along the rim of the Pacific Ocean, called the "Ring of Fire"; a region that encircles the Pacific Ocean and is home to 452 volcanoes (over 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes).
4.The largest recorded earthquake in the United States was a magnitude 9.2 that struck Prince William Sound, Alaska on March 28, 1964.
5.The largest recorded earthquake in the world was a magnitude 9.5 in Chile on May 22, 1960.
6.When the Chilean earthquake occurred in 1960, seismographs recorded seismic waves that traveled around the world. These seismic waves shook the entire earth for many days.
6 points about Flood.
1.No region is safe from flooding. All 50 states are subject to flash floods.
2.Flash floods can bring walls of water from 10 to 20 feet high.
3.A car can be taken away in as little as 2 feet of water.
4.Flooding is caused by spring thawing (snow and frozen grounds melting in the spring), heavy rains, snow melt runoffs, flash floods, and mudflows.
5.Based on Floodsmart, a 2,000 square foot home undergoing 12” of water damage could cost more than $50,000.
6.To stay safe during a flood, go to the highest ground of floor possible. If your skin comes in contact with flood water, make sure to wash it with soap and disinfected water because the contents are unknown.
