Natural disasters are catastrophic events that occur as a result of natural processes of the Earth. These events can cause significant destruction and impact human life, property, and the environment. Examples of natural disasters include earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis. Each of these disasters is characterized by specific causes and effects, but they all share the potential for widespread damage and disruption.
