Environmental Disasters

An environmental disaster is a natural environment due to human action. Environmental disasters can have effect on agriculture, biodiversity, economy and human health. . Disasters aren’t random and don’t occur by accidentally. They are the convergence of hazards and vulnerable conditions. Disasters not only reveal underlying social, economic, political and environmental problems, but unfortunately contribute to worsening them. Such events pose serious challenges to development, as they erode hard-earned gains in terms of political and social progress, likewise infrastructure and technological development. There are six main climate regions: tropical rainy, dry, temperate marine, temperate continental, polar, and highlands. The tropics have two types of rainy climates: tropical wet and tropical wet-and- dry.
