Natural disasters have made history more than once. They changed the climate, led to the death of entire civilizations and massive migrations of the population, and sometimes helped to heal from epidemics

The name of the Krakatoa volcano is widely known, and the events of its eruption have been repeatedly used in literature and cinema. It formed in the distant past on the seabed near the edge of the Sunda Graben and became part of the Indonesian island arc

Are you familiar with the definition of a supercell? It seemed to me that this is something from the field of mathematics or nuclear physics. Maybe there is such a thing, but we will now talk about natural phenomena.The cause of such phenomena as thunderstorms, heavy rain, and squalling wind intensification are monocellular and multicellular cumulonimbus clouds, which quite often pile up in the sky in the summer season

Natural disasters can be the result of experiments with climate weapons.Hurricane Dorian, which ruined the Atlantic coast of the United States, reached its highest, fifth, severity level when the wind speed reached 300 kilometers per hour. He has not yet calmed down and continues his destructive movement, moreover, even with a weakening of the wind, it threatens to turn into showers and floods

A strong earthquake hit Tajikistan 70 years ago. The landslides that came down as a result of the cataclysm covered more than 30 settlements and buried about 30 thousand people alive.

A few days ago, NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) published a report on the climatic records set by the United States during April-May-June.As statistics show, the density of climatic anomalies in North America is unprecedented: forest fires, drought, floods, snow in the middle of summer for three months occur at once simultaneously and everywhere at once:- Salik

In some American states, the elements continue to rage: for example, Texas after a series of floods and tornadoes faced a powerful sandstorm.
