HUMAN INVOLVEMENT AND NATURAL DISASTER

• Natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of the Earth
• Floods, hurricanes, droughts, and wildfires can all cause significant damage to humans. Although these events are typically thought
of as natural disasters, or a naturally occurring event that causes damage to human life, sometimes they aren’t so natural after all .
 • Since humanity’s beginning, we have been impacting the environment in a costly way.
Today, our growing population requires increased agricultural activity, which depends
largely on deforestation to create suitable land. Our sprawling cities and consumption of
fossil fuels also have a direct impact on the environment. These activities are also causing
changes in global weather patterns, leading to an increase in natural disasters like floods
and wildfires.

Increasing population leading to grow more agricultural product which requires more land causing
deforestation
• Much of the Amazon rainforest is being clear-cut to make way for cattle ranches. The
removal of trees during deforestation not only leads to global warming and destroys
animal habitats, but it also disrupts the water cycle. Without trees to absorb rainwater,
rainfall easily causes flooding and soil erosion in these areas.
• Globalwarming is another factor responsible for natural disaster which is due to man-
made activities. Global warming occurs when carbon dioxide (CO2) and other air
pollutants and greenhouse gases collect in the atmosphere and absorb sunlight and solar
radiation that have bounced off the earth’s surface. Normally, this radiation would escape
into space—but these pollutants, which can last for years to centuries in the atmosphere,
trap the heat and cause the planet to get hotter.
• These gases are released from nuclear plants, tonnes of CO2 from the factories, fossils
fuels etc.
• Globalwarming has profound effects on our weather patterns in a process known as
climate change. As the temperature of our atmosphere increases, glaciers melt and change
both ocean temperatures and sea water levels.
• Human involvement made earth so change that the place that was home for lots of living
beings has now become the most threaten or dangerous place.
