About the author

Content: By deforestation, the ground is no longer covered and thus the probability for floods and droughts increases dramatically. Soil erosion
Soil erosion can lead to a high level of degradation of land, which in turn can lead to a loss in fertility and thus to famine for local populations. Soil erosion can also cause landslides which can cause serious damage to nature as well as to humans. Seismic activity
The seismic activities inside our earth can cause earthquakes. These earthquakes can cause death and injuries for many people as well as for animals and other life forms. It also leads to a loss of many homes so that people who survived often have to leave their home countries in order to find a better future. Air pressure
There is a connection between the air pressure and some natural disasters like hurricanes, heavy rains and thunderstorms. Thus, air pressure naturally contributes to natural disasters in a certain way. Ocean currents
Changing ocean currents can lead to a change in the ocean temperature which in turn can harm or even kill large populations of fish and other sea animals and plants. Moreover, changing currents and therefore a possible local increase in water temperature can lead to a higher probability for hurricanes or tropical storms.
