So, when the ground become unstable, it collapses and flows down the side of a hill or mountain, and can consist of earth, rocks, mud and any debris which may be caught in its wake. It is by the disturbances of the natural stability of a slope. **Hail** Hail falls when it is heavy enough to overcome the strength of the thunderstorm that is pulled toward the earth by means of gravity. Similarly, it is known as hailstone. It is cause by when a thunderstorm lifts a water droplet above the ice level in the atmosphere. **If you have a personal experience involving any natural disaster, please share with us.** I have not experience it before , but i have seen some minor ones like fire out brake. **Conclusion** So, in this post we have seen the meaning of Natural disaster and how the are cause, so we sould be careful of what we are doing to avoid it to happen. 10% goes to @steemkids Thanks
