Natural Disasters

Natural disasters are significant, destructive events caused by natural processes of the Earth. They can include phenomena such as earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, wildfires, and volcanic eruptions. These events often result in loss of life, damage to property, and disruption of communities. Natural disasters can occur suddenly or develop over time, and their impact can be amplified by factors such as population density, infrastructure development, and environmental conditions. The study of natural disasters encompasses understanding their causes, predicting their occurrence, and assessing their impact on human societies and ecosystems.
