What is a Dam?
What is a man-made structure is built across a river or stream to control water flow, generate electricity, or prevent flooding.
Sediment

What is an Earthquake?
What is a sudden and violent shaking of the Earth's surface caused by the movement of tectonic plates along faults
What is Weathering?
What is the process breaks down rocks into smaller pieces through physical, chemical, or biological means over time.
Minerals
What is natural substances are the building blocks of rocks and have a specific chemical makeup.
What is a dust storm?
What is a severe weather event occurs when strong winds lift large amounts of dust and sand into the air, reducing visibility and air quality.
What is Magma?
what is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface can cool and solidify to form igneous rock.

What is a Hurricane?
What is a powerful tropical storm features strong winds, heavy rain, and a well-defined eye, forming over warm ocean waters and often causing widespread destruction.
What is a Seismic hazard?
what is a risk arises from the likelihood of ground shaking, surface rupture, or other earthquake-related effects in a given area.
Fossil
What is a preserved remains or trace of an ancient organism is often found in sedimentary rock and helps scientists study Earth’s past.
What happens during a volcanic eruption?
What is a natural disaster that occurs when molten rock, ash, and gases escape from beneath the Earth's surface, often reshaping landscapes and affecting global climates.
