Traveling is the only way to really experience everything the world has to offer, and while we are amazed and awestruck by the beauty of our planet, we tend to forget that our planet isn't really 'ours' and that we are just squatters at the mercy of an angry landlord. Or in this case LandLady. Here's Mother Nature At Her Nastiest!
Flash Floods are called Flash floods because they tend to happen quickly. Masses of water from severe storms on higher grounds or melting snow from mountain tops, converge on lower ground with incredible speed and ferocity.
Pyroclastic Flow is a dense cloud made up of solidified lava pieces, hot gases, and volcanic ash that occurs in some volcanic eruptions. This "Death" cloud rushes down the side of the volcano reaching speeds of up to 400mph and temperatures of up to 1,830 Fahrenheit.
A tsunami or Seismic sea wave is created when an event, like a landslide or earthquake happens out at sea and causes a substantial mass of water to move. This movement may seem like a slight swell at sea but as it reaches land and the water becomes shallower the wave grows. A Tsunami isn't just one wave but tends to be a series of waves called a Wave Train. The period of time between waves varies, and the water recedes dramatically during these periods before crashing back in once again.
Tornadoes are columns of air that rotate extremely quickly, up to 300mph in extreme cases. The majority occur in an area known as "Tornado Alley" in the US. This "Alleyway" has no mountain range to block the cold air from the north colliding with the hot air from the south thus creating an almost perfect breeding ground for tornados.
Earthquakes are generally caused by the movement of the Earth's Tectonic plates. These seismic activities can have varying intensity and are not only dangerous by themselves but can also provoke other dangerous phenomena such as Tsunamis, flooding, and landslides.
Landslides happen when a portion of land becomes either too saturated, too unstable, or too weak to support its weight and so it gives in to gravity. There are various different reasons for this to happen, including excessive rainfall, undermining, earthquakes, and of course, human activities.
