A Case Study on Tsunami in India and Other Natural Disasters
A Case Study on Tsunami Damage in India
Natural Disaster: A natural disaster is the effect of a natural hazard that affects the environment, and leads to financial, environmental and/or human losses. Or
Any natural phenomenon that causes great damage and loss of life; The emergency situation that is the consequence of such an event.
A natural disaster is a disaster caused by nature, such as floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, avalanches, lahars (volcanic mudslides), landslides, sinkholes, blizzards, drought, hailstorms, heat waves, hurricanes, tropical storms, typhoons, Ice Ages, tornadoes, and wildfires.
Epidemics caused by bacteria or viruses are sometimes considered natural disasters, but sometimes put into a different category. A biological threat such as locusts or toxic fungi could also be considered a natural disaster. Some disasters are on the edge of natural and non-natural.
Types Of Natural Disaster: There are many types of Natural Disaster in this amazing world. They can be grouped as six major types. They are explained below with some examples:
1) Land Movement Disasters i) Earthquakes ii) Avalanches iii)Lahars iv)Volcanic Eruptions
2)Water Disasters i) Floods ii) Limnic Eruptions iii)Tsunami
3)Weather Disasters i) Cyclonic Storms ii) Blizzards iii)Droughts
4)Disasters caused by Fire i) Forest Fire
5)Health and Diseases i) Epidemic ii)Famine
6)Space Disasters i) Supernovae and Hypernovae ii) Solar Flares iii)Gamma Ray Bursts
1 i)Earthquakes: Sudden release of energy through the earth's crust in the form of seismic waves. Tension builds up within the crust as convectional forces in the mantle try to move the plates above but are prevented from doing so by friction between plates. When friction is
