How do natural disasters affect our lives?
答案
Natural disasters can cause great damage to our lives. For example, earthquakes can destroy buildings and roads, making it difficult for people to live and work. Floods can submerge farmland and houses, affecting people's food supply and living environment. Hurricanes can uproot trees and damage power lines, causing power outages and communication disruptions. In addition, natural disasters can also lead to the loss of lives and property, and have a long-term impact on people's physical and mental health.
