When it reaches the surface it is known as lava. Volcanoes can erupt violently with a huge explosion, spreading lava, ash and rock over a large area. Or, they can erupt more calmly, as when lava oozes out of the ground. Three basic types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes and cinder cones. Shield volcanoes form when lava flows like a liquid creating a low and wide (shield-like) dome. Stratovolcanoes are large, conical-shaped volcanoes formed by layers of deposit from explosive eruptions. Cinder cones are usually smaller and form from the scoria of a single eruption. Scoria is solidified chunks of magma. Engineers create devices such as tiltmeters to monitor mountains so that nearby inhabitants can be warned of impending eruptions. ]]> 2020-02-08 05:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442493094 sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442493441 2020-02-08 05:28:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442493441 Reducing the Impacts sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442494486 Source: fema.gov]]> 2020-02-08 05:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442494486 sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442494807 2020-02-08 05:51:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442494807 sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442496005 2020-02-08 06:09:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442496005 Earthquakes sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442496159 2020-02-08 06:12:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442496159 Source: teachengineering.org sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442496302 Earthquakes are formed as the tectonic plates that make up the crust of the earth rub against each other. While approximately 8,000 earthquakes occur every day worldwide, nearly all are too small to feel. Occasionally one is large and close enough to a populated area it can create significant damage. Engineers design devices such as seismometers and lasers that can help predict earthquakes through the data they collect. Engineers take into consideration the powerful forces of earthquakes when designing structures and bridges.]]> 2020-02-08 06:14:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442496302 sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442496464 2020-02-08 06:17:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442496464 sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442496513 2020-02-08 06:18:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442496513 Reducing the Impacts: BEFORE, DURING, AFTER sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442496719 Source: wheninmanila.com]]> 2020-02-08 06:22:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442496719 Reducing the Impacts sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442496810 Source: emergency.cdc.gov]]> 2020-02-08 06:23:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442496810 Reducing the Impacts: BEFORE, DURING, AFTER sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442496996 Source: venngage.com]]> 2020-02-08 06:26:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442496996 More Earthquake Facts! sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442497249 2020-02-08 06:30:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442497249 sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442497410 2020-02-08 06:32:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442497410 Source: teachengineering.org sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442498095 Floods are natural hazards that involve an overflow of water that submerges usually dry land. Of the many different types and causes of floods, the most common are periodic river flooding and flash flooding. Periodic river flooding is caused by melting snow and spring rain increasing a river's water level. Flash floods occur when water from rainstorms is suddenly too much for streams and rivers to contain. Engineers design river gauges and weather monitoring devices that take measurements that help us predict and monitor floods. They also design dams and levees to prevent and minimize flooding.]]> 2020-02-08 06:44:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442498095 sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442498309 2020-02-08 06:46:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442498309 sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442498351 2020-02-08 06:46:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442498351 Reducing the Impacts sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442498500 Source: emergency.cdc.gov]]> 2020-02-08 06:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442498500 Reducing the Impacts: BEFORE, DURING, AFTER sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442498641 Source: adobe.stock.com]]> 2020-02-08 06:50:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442498641 Flood Facts sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442498718 2020-02-08 06:51:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442498718 sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442499214 2020-02-08 06:59:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442499214 Source: teachengineering.org sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442499327 Forest fires are natural hazards that can be tremendously destructive. Forest fires occur in heavily forested areas during the dry season. They are usually started by lightning or human activities such as campfires. Periodic forest fires are good for the forest because they help to thin the forest and allow for new growth. Forest fires also have the potential to destroy houses and towns in or near forested areas. To minimize the impact of forest fires, engineers design tractors that cut and clear fire lanes (forest strips in which all vegetation is removed) to halt the spread of a forest fire. Engineers also design aircraft that drop water or chemical retardants on fires.]]> 2020-02-08 07:01:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442499327 sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442499421 2020-02-08 07:02:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442499421 sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442499431 2020-02-08 07:02:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442499431 sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442499447 2020-02-08 07:02:55 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442499447 sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442499691 2020-02-08 07:05:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442499691 sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442499770 2020-02-08 07:07:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442499770 Source: ready.gov/wildfires sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/442500055 A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in a natural area such as a forest, grassland, or prairie.

Sandy made landfall in southern New Jersey and became incredible in its size and power. It was a large storm with violent gusts and storm surges that caused major flooding and left millions of people along the East Coast without power. More than 100 people died and tens of thousands of people were injured and relocated. According to NOAA, estimated damage from Sandy is $71 billion, making Sandy the fourth-costliest hurricane in the United State's history, after Hurricanes Katrina, Harvey, and Maria.

Scientists do not use the term "tidal wave" because these waves are not caused by tides. Tsunami waves are unlike typical ocean waves generated by wind and storms, and most tsunamis do not "break" like the curling, wind-generated waves popular with surfers. Tsunamis typically consist of multiple waves that rush ashore like a fast-rising tide with powerful currents. Tsunami waves can travel much farther inland than normal waves. ]]> 2020-02-23 06:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/449095153 Reducing the Impacts: BEFORE, DURING, AFTER sthiede1 https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/457316850 Source: fema.gov]]> 2020-03-10 03:36:48 UTC https://padlet.com/sthiede1/naturalhazards/wish/457316850
