Answers
Answer:
1.The Bhopal disaster, also referred to as the Bhopal gas tragedy, was a gas leak incident on the night of 2–3 December 1984 at the Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) pesticide plant in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is considered among the world's worst industrial disasters.[1][2] Over 500,000 people were exposed to methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas. The highly toxic substance made its way into and around the small towns located near the plant.[3]
2.The main reasons for floods in northern and southern India are due to their natural ecological systems; Monsoon: The average rainfall in India is about 150cm but the annual rainfall along the western coast and Western Ghats, Khasi hills and over most of the Brahmaputra valley amounts to more than 250cm.
3.Almost the entire Himalayas are prone to high seismic activity or earthquakes. ... The Himalayas, as we know, were formed by the head-on collision of Indian and Eurasian plates. The mountain building process is still going on because the Indian plate is still moving towards the Eurasian plate.

By Press Trust of India | Amaravati | Last Updated at April 26 2019 23:00 IST
: Fishermen in Andhra Pradesh have been warned not to venture into the sea from April 27 in view of the depression prevailing in the sea.

Fishermen who are already in the sea have been advised to return to the shore by April 28.
5.After a natural disaster, snakes may have been forced from their natural habitats and move into areas where they would not normally be seen or expected. When you return to your home, be cautious of snakes that may have sought shelter in your home. If you see a snake in your home, immediately call the animal control agency in your county.
