Natural Disasters

Natural disasters are catastrophic events caused by natural processes of the Earth that result in significant damage to life, property, and the environment. These phenomena can include a variety of events such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis. Natural disasters can lead to loss of human life, injuries, destruction of homes and infrastructure, economic loss, and long-term environmental impacts. They often occur suddenly and can vary in intensity and scale, affecting communities and ecosystems differently. The study of natural disasters involves understanding their causes, predicting their occurrence, and developing strategies for risk management and disaster preparedness.
