There are difference between hazards, disasters, and catastrophes. For hazards it's a danger that threats people or property, but it's mostly caused by nature. For disasters, it usually affects society. Disasters cause great damage and it's usually for a limited time. Then for catastrophes it affects everyone and property. This situations usually have a great deal of damage and is hard to recover. Most catastrophes are floods, hurricane, tornados, etc. The main difference is one is how long they last and how they were created. I don' have a scientist that I really relate to. But there is one and is pretty famous among youth but is well known is William Sanford Nye. Most people know this guy as Bill Nye the Science Guy. This guy made science fun and interesting so thats one guy that I used to like to watch that was educational. This semester I will be taking about Spain and how these things affect them in their country.
