Answer:

Geophysical- A geological disaster occurs when natural geological processes impact on our activities, either through loss of life or injury, or through economic loss. A geological hazard is a potential disaster. (e.g. Earthquakes, Landslides, Tsunamis and Volcanic Activity)

Hydrological- A violent, sudden and destructive change either in the quality of Earth's water or in the distribution or movement of water on land below the surface or in the atmosphere. (e.g. Avalanches and Floods)

Climatological- A hazard caused by long-lived, meso- to macro-scale atmospheric processes ranging from. intra-seasonal to multi-decadal climate variability. Drought. (e.g. Extreme Temperatures, Drought and Wildfires)

Meteorological- Meteorological disasters are caused by extreme weather, e.g. rain, drought, snow, extreme heat or cold, ice, or wind. Violent, sudden and destructive to the environment related to, produced by, or affecting the earth's atmosphere, especially the weather-forming processes. (e.g. Cyclones and Storms/Wave Surges)

Biological- Biological disasters are natural scenarios involving disease, disability or death on a large scale among humans, animals and plants due to micro-organisms like bacteria, or virus or toxins. (e.g. Disease Epidemics and Insect/Animal Plagues)
