Content: This understanding is concentrated in the formulation: " disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability". A natural hazard will hence never result in a natural disaster in areas without vulnerability, e.g., strong earthquakes in uninhabited areas. The term natural has consequently been disputed because the events simply are not hazards or disasters without human involvement. Different types of natural disasters can be: Tsunamis
Earthquakes
Avalanches
Volcanoes
Landslides
Floods
Droughts
Forest fires
Hurricanes
Thunderstorms
Tornadoes
Winter storms
Heat Waves
Causes of Natural Disasters
There are different types of natural disasters and depending on different types of disasters the causes are also different. For example, the causes of an earthquake cannot be the same as that of forest-fire. Natural disasters are caused due to different reasons like soil erosion, seismic activity, tectonic movements, air pressure, and ocean currents etc. natural disaster is not a new phenomenon these natural events have occurred since the earth began forming and continue to cause serious damage and loss of life all over the globe from many years. The root causes of most of the natural disasters that occur on earth can be attributed to the imbalance created in our environment.
