Natural Disasters

Natural disasters are catastrophic events caused by natural processes of the Earth. These events can result in significant damage to the environment, human life, and property. Common types of natural disasters include earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis. Each disaster is characterized by its specific causes and effects, which can vary widely in severity and impact. Natural disasters often lead to humanitarian crises, necessitating emergency response and recovery efforts to aid affected populations.
