A detailed study of important global disasters reveals not only the immediate impact on human lives and infrastructure but also the underlying factors that contribute to their occurrence and the broader implications for global society. This study involves understanding the types of disasters, their causes, impacts, and the response mechanisms, as well as exploring the patterns and trends in disaster occurrence over time. 1. Types of Global Disasters - Natural Disasters: These include earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, floods, and droughts. Natural disasters are often caused by geophysical, meteorological, or hydrological processes and can be exacerbated by climate change. - Human-Made Disasters: These include industrial accidents, oil spills, nuclear accidents, and terrorist attacks. They are typically a result of human activities, often due to negligence, technological failure, or deliberate actions. 2. Causes and Contributing Factors - Geographical and
