A natural hazard is a threat of a naturally occurring event that will have a negative effect on the environment. Entire Himalayan region is prone to rain-induced hazards in the form of flash flood‚ cloudburst or glacial lake outburst flood. Many Himalayan natural hazards are earthquakes‚ tsunamis‚ hurricanes‚ flooding‚ coastal erosion‚ etc. An earthquake is a process that results from a sudden release of stored energy that radiates shock waves. Coastal erosion is a physical process by which seashores
