GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Geological disasters are catastrophic events that arise as a result of changes in the earth, either above the surface or below the surface. For instance, volcanic eruptions frequently occur where tectonic plates make contact. Moreover, earthquakes are prone in regions with active plate tectonics.

Detailed explanation-2: -Geophysical disasters are disasters that are brought about by tectonic and seismic activity below the Earth’s surface. 1 Any kind of geological disturbance can cause a geophysical event to occur. Many of these kinds of disasters have similar signs that they are about to occur, such as shaking and unstable ground.

Detailed explanation-3: -Earthquakes are geophysical disasters caused as a result of a sudden release of stored energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic waves.

Detailed explanation-4: -Geophysical hazard is potentially damaging natural event and/or phenomenon, which may cause the loss of life or injury, property damage, social and economic disruption, or environmental degradation. Extreme natural hazards are a key manifestation of the complex hierarchical nonlinear Earth system.
