A natural resource that can cause a natural hazard is gasoline. For example, it could catch fire and start a wildfire. But, I don't know what natural disaster it could start.

Plants can make a natural hazard turn to a natural hazard because if a wildfire is in a remote place in the woods, it can catch plants and spread to where humans are, creating a natural disaster.

If you use to much water then that can cause a drought, and a forest fire will be more likely to happen.

A rock might fall, causing a landslide, which causes a sinkhole maybe.

If you live on a mountain side and you cut all the trees down it could lead to a land slide.

dry leaves can cause a natural hazard because a cigaret can land on a dry leaf causing a forest fire.

oil from a car could leek then could catch on fire and burn the woods or houses such as a wildfire.

Maybe if an oil spill goes into the water and the a human accidentally drops something flammable or on fire in, it could cause a massive fire, killing fish that humans need to survive.

A solar flare could cause blackouts

If we use to much trees then we have no trees to make stuff.

Lightning can cause a Wildfire, which I think can become a natural disaster.

Plants can cause a natural disaster because when a cigaret hits dry leaves it could cause a forest fire.

Lighters and gas can make a WILDFIRE

a natural resource that can cause a natural hazard is gasoline could catch fire and start a wildfire.

Hannah Perkins said...

If you are lighting a campfire with matches and it gets hot and you drop it on a brush pile then it catches on fire and then there is a wild fire and it spreads.

Lightning could hit a tree and fire could spreed to the forrest and cause a forest fire.

A natural resource that can start da disaster is oil because someone could set it on fire and then start a forest fire

Brooke Carman said...

Lightning is the hazard, and when it causes a Wildfire, then it is a disaster.

When someone drops some sort of poison in a lake and kids go into the lake and accidentally drinks it.

A dam could break and could flood a town.

Nuclear warfare can destroy the ozone layer

A hurricane, because if it is not near anyone or anything then it is harmless unless you go near it then it would be a hazard.

Oil can be set on fire by a small fire and could cause a wildfire.

Jacob Esty said...

Lightning can cause a wildfire and if you are in the woods it can hurt you.

If you cut to much timber a lot of soil will get washed a way.

Anthony B said...

If a large group of people are in the forrest cutting down trees, and a wildfire starts, people are most likely going to be affected. Therefore turning the natural hazard into a natural disaster.

If you are getting minerals on a mountain and you use explosive can cause a rockslide if its near a populated area then it can kill people and cause damage.

Ryan S. said...

You could cut down a tree on a hill and make a landslide.

Sameena F. said...

Soil can cause erosion, since it is mostly part of it, causing buildings to fall, people getting hurt, etc.

Lewin P said...

Let's say that people are getting water and they brake a dam and the water flows down to the town below and wipes it out.

Isaiah w said...

*explosive's you can*

Megan.A said...

(A Hurricane) It's a hazard when a hurricane out in the ocean. It's a disaster when that hurricane hit's land and take out building's.

Jake Esty said...

If we burn to much things then the air will be polluted and we wont be able to see a soler flare or a meteor impact until its to late and then they become natural disasters.

Alex L said...

Gasoline can become a fire.

Hannah M said...

Mining might cause a landslide which will cause a natural disaster because people are down there and might get hurt.

If you use oil you can make green house gas that may affect climate.That can lead to blizzards.

storing water in a giant cylinder could lead to erosion, and then a flood.

Nicole Printy said...

The use of natural resources can cause sink holes. If you pull enough water and oil out of the ground it will eventually not be able to hold itself up causing the ground to cave in making a sink hole.

Using too much water when it doesnt rain for a while could cause a drought.

Will H said...

if you remove trees on a hill side there could be a mudslide on the same hill side

We can renew water, plants, and animals.
