Content: Either way, the end result can be devastating to species that live in grasslands or forests that are damaged by fire. Natural disasters can be causes of habitat destruction. Examples of natural disasters that can be devastating include earthquakes, floods, and tornadoes. Earthquakes can physically move the land, and may be associated with subsequent tsunamis. Floods can destroy the vegetation and cause erosion of the land. Tornadoes can physically rip trees out of the ground and crush vegetation with debris that is strewn about. There are some ways we can try to reduce causes of habitat destruction, including attempting to minimally impact an area with new construction, by using existing farmland instead of creating new farmland, and being extremely cautious with fire. In addition, promoting the use of renewable energy sources and finding alternatives to deforestation may help slow down the effects of global warming. Unfortunately, there are some causes of habitat destruction that are out of our control. Efforts to mitigate destruction can be attempted by planting trees and plants native to a specific area where there has been destruction.
