Landslides can occur when the soil on a slope becomes saturated with water and loses its ability to support the weight of the overlying material. Flooding can occur when heavy rains or snowmelt cause rivers and streams to overflow their banks.<\/p>\n<p>Coastal areas are also vulnerable to natural hazards, such as hurricanes, tsunamis, and sea level rise. Hurricanes can cause storm surge, which is a rise in sea level caused by the strong winds of the hurricane. Tsunami are large waves that can be caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. Sea level rise is the gradual increase in the average level of the world&#8217;s oceans.<\/p>\n<p>Urban centers are also vulnerable to natural hazards, such as earthquakes, floods, and wildfires. Earthquakes can cause buildings to collapse and roads to buckle.
