What kind of 'natural disasters' happen on the moon?

volcanic eruptions

moonquakes

floods

dust storms

Moonquakes are produced by tidal forces. Moonquakres are much less common and weaker than earthquakes, although they can last for up to an hour - a significantly longer time than terrestrial earthquakes - because of the absence of water to damp out the seismic vibrations.
