Forces of Nature

Natural disasters are sudden, powerful events caused by natural processes of the Earth. They include geological events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, weather-related events such as hurricanes and snowstorms, and environmental conditions like droughts and floods. These disasters can cause significant damage to communities, infrastructure, and the environment, often leading to loss of life and economic hardship. Preparedness, early warning systems, and emergency response plans help reduce their impact.
