Natural Disasters

Natural disasters are catastrophic events that occur as a result of natural processes of the Earth. They include a variety of phenomena such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, wildfires, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and droughts. These events can lead to significant damage to the environment, loss of life, and destruction of property. Natural disasters often occur suddenly and can affect large areas or specific regions, leading to widespread impacts on communities, economies, and ecosystems. The severity and frequency of natural disasters can be influenced by geological and climatic factors, and they are often studied in fields such as geology, meteorology, and environmental science to enhance preparedness and response efforts.
