<span><span>Natural DisastersПриродные катастрофы</span><span>Natural disasters such as flood, fire, tornado, earthquake, tsunamis are becoming more and more frequent on our planet. In short description a natural disaster is a result of a natural hazard, which has a negative effect on human beings. These geologic processes can lead to serious consequences such as loss of life, property damage, economic problems. Certain areas are more exposed to natural disasters. For example, most of New Zealand’s coastline is exposed to tsunami hazard, while the Far East region is exposed to floods. Being aware of possible dangers, people should be prepared to protect themselves, their families and communities. Two important preparation steps are the developing of emergency plan and assembling a supply kit. However, all the known disasters have unique nature and should be approached separately. Some of the common natural hazards are as follows: earthquake, flood, drought, heat wave, hurricane, volcanic eruption, hailstorm, tornado, tsunami, landslide, wildfire, blizzard. I’d like to tell you a bit more about floods, hurricane and earthquakes. A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land. In severe cases it can result in human and animal deaths. Very often the crops are destroyed, which brings famine. A hurricane is a severe tropical cyclone or storm that often occurs in certain parts of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. This destructive hazard can lead to changes in weather and economy. It can also result in heavy rains, thunderstorm, flood or even tornado. An earthquake is the result of a sudden collision among the tectonic plates of the Earth. Such collision leads to massive and occasionally deathly vibrations. However, learning about these specific threats and the measures, which should be taken, can save many lives.</span></span>

My favourite sport is running. There are just times when you feel like you just want to get up and run! I for instance, would just grab my I-pod and run out when I need to belt out my frustrations and woes. It works every time! Running is good holistically; except for those who are restrained to do it due to health reasons. Physically, it keeps you fit because it requires a great deal of energy burning up calories. It also decreases the chances of getting a stroke or a heart attack since it lowers the blood pressure and maintains the elasticity of your arteries. It slows down the aging process because of the toxins you sweat out and the strength- training you give to your muscles and bones. Psychologically, running releases the “happy hormones” or endorphins responsible for that natural high.
