Hello and welcome back to the Curious Kid podcast. Over the years, we have done a few episodes on natural disasters. A natural disaster is a violent event that humans can't control. Instead of being controlled by humans, they are controlled by the forces of nature.

Natural disasters can sometimes result in the loss of life, injury to people and animals, as well as damage to property.

Examples of natural disasters we've covered in the podcast are earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, wildfires, tornadoes, and hurricanes.

Although natural disasters can strike in lots of different places, you are more likely to experience

certain natural disasters in different parts of the world. For example, here in New Jersey

where we live, we are more likely to

experience a hurricane or a wildfire than we are to experience an earthquake or especially

a volcanic eruption. We are going to cover another natural disaster today that can impact

anyone, anywhere on earth, no matter where you live.

Hello, Jacob and Olivia.

My name is Wolfie, and I am four years old and live in Ashland, Oregon.

My two-year-old sister, Minnie, Mommy Yasmin, and Daddy Alex, love listening to your podcast

in the car on the way to school, swim class, or a long road trip.

I am curious about floods and tsunamis.

I would love to learn about the different types.

Can any animals live in a flood or tsunami?

Thank you.

Wolfie. Thanks for the Thank you, Wolfie.

Thanks for the incredible email, Wolfie.

We can't wait to get curious about floods for you this week.
