These disasters can encompass a variety of phenomena, including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, droughts, wildfires, and landslides. Each type of natural disaster arises from different natural conditions, such as geological, meteorological, or hydrological factors. The impact of natural disasters can be devastating, leading to infrastructure damage, economic loss, and long-term effects on communities and ecosystems.
