A hurricane(In the Atlantic Ocean) is the most destructive weather system we know of. Also know as cyclones(in the Indian Ocean) and Typhoons(in the Pacific Ocean), the storms can travel thosands of miles across water. The strength of a hurricane is measured on the Beaufort Scale.

Earthquakes are caused by pressure build-up between tetonic plates. When this pressure exceedes the maximum that the plates can handle an earthquake is caused. The strength of an earthquake is measured on the Ritcher Scale.
