Question

Briefly explain how natural disasters relate to human settlement.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Natural hazards, such as earthquakes, landslides, wind storms and floods are considered disasters according to the level of disruption they cause to the human population, to the built environment or to natural ecosystems. Natural disasters cause destruction of property, loss of financial resources, and personal injury or illness. The loss of resources, security and access to shelter can lead to massive population migrations in lesser-developed countries. Rowing populations need water, food, land, and other resources, such as electricity and a system of sewage disposal. In both rural and urban areas, these needs can put stresses on the air, water, and soil, and can create different kinds of pollution.
