1. DO MY FRIENDS KNOW ABOUT TURKEY’S NATURAL DISASTERS?

3. NATURAL DISASTERS A natural disaster is the consequence of a natural hazard (e.g. volcanic eruption, earthquake, and landslide) which moves from potential in to an active phase, and as a result affects human activities. Human vulnerability, exacerbated by the lack of planning or lack of appropriate emergency management, leads to financial, structural, and human losses. The resulting loss depends on the capacity of the population to support or resist the disaster, their resilience. This understanding is concentrated in the formulation: "disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability".

4. A natural hazard will hence never result in a natural disaster in areas without vulnerability, e.g. strong earthquakes in uninhabited areas. The term natural has consequently been disputed because the events simply are not hazards or disasters without human involvement. The degree of potential loss can also depend on the nature of the hazard itself, ranging from a single lightning strike, which threatens a very small area, to impact events, which have the potential to end civilization. For lists of natural disasters, see the list of disasters or the list of deadliest natural disasters.

5. My Research Methods Giving a questionnaire Having an interview.

12. While I was studying at my school

14. I chose this topic because I want to learn about natural disasters and I want to learn about my friends knowledge about them. I searched the web-sites about natural disasters. I asked my friends. I gave a questionnaire to my friends. I made an interview with my teacher. I used questionnaire form. MY RESULTS I learned all my friends know natural disasters in Turkey. My friends know what to do when there is a natural disaster. I think we must be ready for a natural disasters. This was a useful research for me and I enjoyed doing it.
