A global disaster can destroy the world and all who inhabit it and if it was local it would only destroy the town, city, etc

I think the difference between a natural and a global disaster is that local can affect only your area and global can affect globally.

A local disaster is a disaster in one area and a global disaster is a disaster all over the world.

Meloney d said...

the diffrence would be that local would be like in your state golbal is all aoroun the world

Brandon M said...

A local disaster is like a tornado in Kansas that only affects a town or two and a global disaster is when a volcano erupts and make an island like what happened in California and Then made Hawaii

Nicole said...

A local disaster is something that happens near you and a global disaster is something that happens farther away or in a distance.

A local disaster is it only effects one area and a global disaster effect more then just one place like a tsunami is a global disaster and then a huge snow storm in Maine is just a local disaster.

if something happens in the water it doesn't matter as much if it hit the land

I think the difference would be that a global disaster would effect more people and do more damage.

Local disaster is something getting destroyed around you and global disaster is the whole world getting destroyed.

local could be a snow storm and global could be tornados.

Kiley said...

Like a global disaster is like a radiation heat wave or something a local one is like a bad sickness going around because of the bad crops from the radiation? idk this stuff..?

Grace D said...

A local disaster is less destructive because its only in one place a global disaster is more dangers because it will destroy the whole world.

Danielle said...

I think global disasters are when disasters occur around the globe and can damage around the globe, when local disasters are in local parts of the world and damage local things.

Tayte said...

A local disaster is when a town is in danger and a global disaster is when the world can be destroyed.

Local disaster is something getting destroyed around you and global disaster is the whole world getting destroyed.

The difference between a global and local disaster is local disasters are only in some parts of the world and a global disaster happens every where . A example is a earthquake. Earthquakes can happen any where so that is a global disaster. A sandstorm only happens in certain places like desearts.

Brianna M. said...

A wildfire is a local disaster, as it affects less people and only a small town. A hurricane is global disaster, and it affects more people and bigger area than a local disaster would. http://www.scidev.net/global/communication/feature/early-warning-of-disasters-facts-and-figures-1.html

A local disaster only happens locally in an area like Hurricane Katrina.A global disaster happens at least two different places on the Earth like hen two plates slip past each other like the San Andreas Fault.

A global disaster is when it affects lots of people like a hurricane and a local disaster is a thing that only affects a small amount of people like a snow storm.

Jordan.T said...

I think a local disaster only affects a small amount of people, a global disaster affects a large amount of people. An example of an local disaster is like a flood. A global disaster volcanic eruption

a local only efects a state not the whole earth

Anonymous said...

An example of a global disaster is hurricane katrina

A global disaster, like a volcanic eruption, would effect the atmosphere of the Earth. A local disaster, like a blizzard, would only effect a city or town that it occurred in.

Caelen Merrill said...

The difference between a global and local disaster are a global disaster is a natural disaster that happens around the world. And a local disaster is one that happens like in one or just two states. An example of a global disaster is a hurricane, and an example of a l local disaster is a landslide.

Lizzy said...

A local disaster is like a small house fire in a town a global disaster is like a huge forest fire.

Lily G. said...

An example of both global and local eruption is a Volcano Eruption. An example of of an of a global eruption is an earthquake, and an example of local eruption is a landslide.

Lauren Pride said...

The difference between a local and global disaster is that a local disaster will happen with in a certain area and a global will happen all over the globe.

Local: Landslide
Global: Volcanic eruption

Kylie M. said...

A global disaster is when lots of things happen like volcanic eruptions and hurricanes, and a local disaster is when it only happens in a certain area.

Daniel.B said...

There are bunch of things that can happen like fluids, land slides, ice storm, sand storm, earthquake,tornado, hurricane, tsunami,

Kyle G said...

It effects how the states look It can make mager damage to houses.

jada said...

volcanowes can efect small tings and big things

Breanna C said...

A global disater is a disater that can affect the whole world like a volcanic eruption or earthquake. and a local disater is a disater is a disaster that can only be heard in that general area.

Gabe L said...

the earth quake that happened in maine in 2014 was an example of local and somthing like the san andreas fault is an exaple of global

TYLER WANSOR said...

i don't feel good

Abigail N said...

A global disaster is when more than one place on earth is effected . If it's a Local disater is when only one area is effected. A disaster is when a person or people die or get injured or buildings get distroyed. An example of this is a tornado ( for global) and landslide( local).

A global disaster is when lots of things happen like tornados, earthquakes, etc.

The difference between global and local disasters is: global is a disaster that is around the world, like hurricanes, and local disasters are disasters in local areas like floods.

Abby D (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ said...

A global disaster is can something big that affects more then just your town, state, etc. A monster hurricane can be a global disaster, while a small flood. Like somewhere small would be a local disaster.

Anonymous said...

The difference between a local disaster and a global disaster is that global disasters like hurricanes effect large areas but floods are local because they are in a small area.

kolby o said...

global:tsunami local:tornado

Jasmine L. said...

A local disaster is a disaster that happens in a small area. A global disaster is a disaster that happens in more then one place. A local is a flood. A global is like a hurricane.

Katelyn Piche said...

Local disasters affect one small area, whereas to Global disasters affect a big part of the earth. A local disaster could be a flood, and a global could be a hurricane.

Tristin R said...

I think the difference is the size some can be bigger and it can just affect a large part of the world and a small part of meaning like my town buxton which would be local. One example for local is a flood and example for global Hurricane.

Raven Da Senpai said...

Global disasters can be caused by Tornadoes Tsunamis, Earthquakes almost anything also there can be Hurricanes

Nikki Newcomb said...

The difference between a local and a global disaster is that local can affect only your area like a flood and global can affect globally like a tornado.

Anthony said...

You gave us the answer so I don't need to give the the answers because everyone knows them but I will give you examples. Local is my sister, global is a big storm.

Cory M. said...

A Global disaster can be a Tsunami or a Hurricane
A Local disaster can be a Flood or a Drought

Brian Wakem said...

A local disaster can hit just on town or county but a global disaster can hurt a country. Like if a tsunami hit china part of china maybe gone but if a flood hits Maine it can hurt a county

A local disaster happens in a small scale such as a flood. A global disaster happens in more than one state.

A local hazard is something that happens in a small area, like a sink hole. A global hazard is a natural disaster that affects a huge area, like a hurricane.

The difference between a global and local disaster is local disasters are only in some parts of the world and a global disaster happens every where .

local would destroy stuff in one general area so it would only affect some people A global is world wide so it would affect everyone.

a local disaster only affects one part of the world a global disaster effects the entire world

The difference between a natural and a global disaster is that local can affect an area and global can affect everywhere?

A local disaster only affects smaller areas and a global disaster affects larger areas like crossing oceans or continents. An example of a global disaster is a tsunami and an example of a local disaster would be a tornado.

Anonymous said...

Teh difference between local and global disasters are local disasters take place in only one location. But global disasters can take place around the whole world. A local example is a landslide, and a global example is a hurricane.

Anonymous said...

A Local Disaster IS in a small area like a local Disaster would be a Landslide. A Global Disaster is World Wide an Example is A Hurricane That can go really far on one Place to another

The difference between local and global is that local is in just one area when global is in a big country. For example a tsunami is a global disaster and a landslide is a local disaster.

the difrence between local and global disasters is that local only affects a small area like a town city state or even a country but when its global it affects multiple countrys like a sunami can effact multiple countrys but a earth quake can affect a state or city

A Local Disaster IS in a small area like a local Disaster would be a Landslide. A Global Disaster is World Wide an Example is A Tsunami Can go all over mostly in the ocean

Anonymous said...

The difference between a localized disaster and a globalized is that the localized disaster only affects the people in a small area where the event occurred and the global disaster affects a lot of people beyond where the disaster originated. An example of a localized disaster would an earthquake as they don't stretch across the world, and an example of a globalized disaster would be a tsunami because it can go across the oceans and the fallout from it can affect coasts everywhere.

Anonymous said...

Local is when the hazards are affected in their areas like landslides or tornado. Global hazards are when tsunami or hurricane are affecting large areas.

Madison D said...

A earthquake is a local disater because it is not going to stretch over the world and a tsunami is a global disater because its stretchs over large areas

Andrew Iverson said...

The difference between a local disaster and a global disasters. Like if there was a landslide in maine it worldnt effect china. but if there was a hurracaine it could cover the whole world

Anonymous said...

a local one is a land slide because it focased on one area and a golbe one is one focased on one area

Lizzy said...

Well I personally don't think their is a difference between a local and global disaster .
