2. Tsunami: A huge wave caused by an underwater earthquake, volcanic eruption, or landslide, which can travel across the ocean and crash onto coastal areas, causing massive destruction.

3. Tornado: An extremely violent windstorm characterized by a twisting, funnel-shaped cloud, capable of causing significant damage and destruction in its path.

4. Flood: A natural disaster that occurs when a large amount of water inundates an area that is typically dry, often caused by heavy rainfall, snowmelt, storm surges, or the breaching of dams and levees.

5. Avalanche: A natural disaster involving a large mass of snow, ice, and debris rapidly descending down the side of a mountain or slope, posing a threat to anyone or anything in its path.
