…………………………………………………………………………..…………….8 Natural disasters introduction A natural disaster is the effect of a natural hazard (e.g.‚ flood‚ tornado‚ hurricane‚ volcanic eruption‚ earthquake‚ heatwave‚ or landslide). It leads to financial‚ environmental or human losses. The resulting loss depends on the vulnerability of the affected population to resist the hazard‚ also called their resilience. This understanding is concentrated in the formulation: "disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability." A natural hazard will hence

An earth quake can be described as a shaking of the Earth’s crust. It is mainly a movement of the whole crust that originates in the center of the earth. Earthquakes happen when the underlying rock suddenly shakes or breaks off. The moving of the underlying rock causes the surface rocks to slide and‚ as a result‚ leads to the earthquakes. Earthquakes can be extremely disastrous and cause a lot of damage in the place where they happen. The earthquake can happen once or happen as a series. This depends
