Natural disasters are catastrophic events that result from natural processes of the Earth. They can strike suddenly and without warning, causing widespread destruction, loss of life, and economic upheaval. From earthquakes and hurricanes to floods, wildfires, and tsunamis, natural disasters come in many forms, each with its own unique characteristics and impacts. One of the most devastating natural disasters are earthquakes, which occur when tectonic plates shift and release energy, causing the ground to shake violently. Earthquakes can result in collapsed buildings, landslides, and tsunamis, leading to significant loss of life and property damage. Tsunamis, triggered by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, are large ocean waves that can travel thousands of miles across the sea, striking coastal areas with devastating force.
