Question

Why this natural disaster is named different in different areas of the world?

Answer 1

Just four countries — the Philippines, China, Japan and Bangladesh — are the targets of more natural disasters than anywhere else on Earth. They are the world's riskiest countries and are the most vulnerable to storms, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, wildfires and landslides, among other calamities.

Answer 2

natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of the Earth; examples are floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, storms, and other geologic processes. A natural disaster can cause loss of life or damage property,[1] and typically leaves some economic damage in its wake, the severity of which depends on the affected population's resilience (ability to recover) and also on the infrastructure available.[2]
