Natural Disasters are violent events that are outside the control of humans. They are caused by the forces of nature and may result in loss of life, injury, and damage to property. There are 9 types of natural disasters, can you name them? Natural disasters education is a very important part in the prevention of natural disasters. If it is applied from an early age, it would be successful and will yield positive results, namely to reduce the risks and consequences. Why do we need to learn about natural disasters? Because they have always happened and will always happen in the future. Remember, sisasters and emergencies have been increasing all over the world. ◆ In the city of Kraljevo, Serbia, a survey was conducted on schoolchildren regarding their knowledge of natural disasters. The unaware children were then subjected to a virtual earthquake simulation. Researchers analyzed the behavior and test results claiming that only 16% of the students behaved correctly and they were the ones who scored the most points on the natural disaster knowledge test. It has been proven that the earlier children are exposed to the subject, the more prepared they will be psychologically in case of a disaster. Why should you buy this book? ◆ This book is meant to encourage young people to take an interest in the subject, to make them realize that the problem exists and that only knowledge will help protect against the danger. Therefore, the book contains interesting information about disasters and coloring pages. Learning through play is the best form of development for children. ★ Click the cover to reveal what's inside! ★ About this book: 40 full pages drawings of Volcanic Eruption, Earthquake, Tornado and Facts, Printed on high quality solid white paper, Easily color with crayons, colored pencils or colored pens, Beautiful designs appropriate for all ages, High quality cover makes the book an ideal gift Put a SMILE on your face!

From the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 to the Sandy Hook school massacre of 2012, this two-volume encyclopedia surveys tragic events—natural and man-made, famous and forgotten—that helped shape American history. Tragedies and disasters have always been part of the fabric of American history. Some gave rise to reactions that profoundly influenced the nation. Others dominated public consciousness for a moment, then disappeared from collective memory. Organized chronologically, Disasters and Tragic Events examines these moments, covering both the familiar and the obscure and probing their immediate and long-term effects. Unlike other works that concentrate on a particular type of disaster, for example, weather- or medicine-related tragedies, this two-volume encyclopedia has no such limits. Its entries range from natural disasters, such as hurricanes and tornadoes, to civic disturbances, environmental disasters, epidemics and medical errors, transportation accidents, and more. The work is a perfect supplement for history classes and will also prove of great interest to the general reader.
