Detailed explanation-1: -A natural hazard is the threat of an event that will likely have a negative impact. A natural disaster is the negative impact following an actual occurrence of natural hazard in the event that it significantly harms a community.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hazard risk is the probability of being affected negatively by a natural event-for example people who live close to tectonic plate margins are at a higher risk of tectonic hazards, and people who live within the Tropics are at a higher risk of extreme weather events, such as tropical storms or droughts.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the context of disaster risk, probability refers to the frequency of occurrence or the return period of losses associated with hazardous events.

Detailed explanation-4: -Natural hazards are severe and extreme weather and climate events. Although they occur in all parts of the world, some regions are more vulnerable to certain hazards than others. Natural hazards become disasters when people’s lives and livelihoods are destroyed.
