 NATURAL AND
MAN-MADE
DISASTERS
A natural disaster may be caused by
weather and climate events or by
earthquakes, landslides, and other
occurrences that originate at Earth's
surface or within the planet itself. Man-
made disasters have an element of
human intent, negligence, or error
involving a failure of a man-made
system
 NATURAL VS MAN-MADE
NATURAL
DISASTERS
Natural disasters are described
as major events caused by the
natural processes of the earth
and causing serious
environmental damage and loss
of life for example earthquake,
tsunami etc.
MAN-MADE
DISASTERS
Man-made disasters are the
calamities caused due to human
activities. For example, war,

FLOODS
 FLOODS ARE AN
EMERGENT SEA

1. Flooding is an overflowing of
water onto land that is normally
dry.

2. Floods can happen during heavy

rains, when ocean waves come on
shore, when snow melts quickly,
or when dams or levees break.

3. Damaging flooding may happen

with only a few inches of water, or
it may cover a house to the
rooftop.
 02
LANDSLIDES
 LANDSLIDES
WILL NEVER
FAIL TO SLIDE
1. BY
Landslides are the movement of
a mass of rock, debris, or earth
down a slope.

2. Landslides happen when gravity

overpowers a slope's stability,
causing rock, debris, or earth to
slide downhill.

3. Their consequences are

significant, causing harm to life,
infrastructure, land, and natural
resources. They can also block
rivers, raising flood risks.

EARTHQUAK
E
 EARTHQUAKES
GIVE A SHAKY
PERSPECTIVE ON
LIFE
1. An earthquake happens when
stored energy in the Earth's crust
is suddenly released, causing
shaking waves to spread from a
fault line.

2. Earthquakes cause havoc through

landslides, tsunamis, fire and
false rapture with the intense
shaking of the ground causing
property damage and personal
injuries.
 04
AVALANCHE
 AVALANCHE :
SNOW’S
DOWNHILL
1. RUSH
An avalanche is a rapid flow of
snow down a hill or
mountainside.

2. Avalanches are set off by

weather changes, snow
conditions, and human activities
like skiing, hiking, or machinery
vibrations.

3. Avalanches devastate nature,

flattening trees, disrupting
ecosystems, and tragically
claiming lives of plants, animals,
and occasionally humans.
 05
TORNADO
 TORNADOS LIKE
TO RAKE UP A
STORM
1. Tornados are violently rotating
column of air touching the
ground, usually attached to the
base of a thunderstorm.

2. Tornadoes develop from severe

thunderstorms in warm, moist,
unstable air along and ahead of
cold fronts.

3. Tornadoes, while damaging in

general, can violently lift cars,
shred homes, and turn debris into
dangerous projectiles, posing a
significant threat from flying
objects.

VOLCANIC
ERUPTION
S
 VOLCANOES
GIVE OUT FREE
LAVA CAKES
1. A volcanic eruption occurs when
gases, rocks, or molten lava
escape from the Earth through a
vent onto the surface or into the
atmosphere.

2. Volcanoes erupt when

underground magma rises and
bursts through the Earth's
surface.

3. When volcanoes erupt, they can

spew hot, dangerous gases, ash,
lava and rock that can cause
disastrous loss of life and
property, especially in heavily
populated areas.
