...no matter where we go, to the recent
past or the distant past, we can find
catastrophes. They may come in the form of
Natural Disasters or they can be caused by
man.
"Natural
disasters are extreme, sudden events caused by
environmental factors that injure people and
damage property. Earthquakes, windstorms,
floods, and disease all strike anywhere on
earth, often without warning." (Fact
Monster)
This page is designed to help our
5th grade students find research to further
their understanding of different types of
catastrophes.
