The document discusses how natural disasters and diseases can change the environment and affect living organisms. It provides examples of floods and droughts as natural disasters that can occur due to heavy rain or lack of rain. Droughts can cause wildfires that damage plant and animal habitats. Diseases from mold, bacteria, and mildew can also spread and harm living things. The environment is changed when disasters and diseases destroy forests and force animals to migrate, adapt, or die off if unable to adjust to the new conditions.
