An earthquakeis the result of a sudden release of

energy in the Earths crust that creates seismic waves.Earthquakes are measured using observations fromseismometers. These two scales are numericallysimilar over their range of validity. Magnitude 3 orlower earthquakes are mostly almost imperceptible orweak and magnitude 7 and over potentially cause

serious damage over larger areas, depending on theirdepth

A tsunamiis a series of water waves caused by thedisplacement of a large volume of a body of water,generally an ocean or a large lake. Earthquakes, volcaniceruptions and other underwater explosions landslides,glacier calving, meteorite impacts and otherdisturbances above or below water all have the potentialto generate a tsunami.

A landslide, also known as a landslip, is a geologicalphenomenon which includes a wide range of groundmovements, such as rock falls, deep failure of slopes andshallow debris flows, which can occur in offshore, coastal andonshore environments. there are other contributing factors

affecting the original slope stability. Typically, pre-conditionalfactors build up specific sub-surface conditions that make thearea/slope prone to failure.

A floodis an overflow of water thatsubmerges land which is usually dry.

The European Union (EU) FloodsDirective defines a flood as a coveringby water of land not normally coveredby water. In the sense of "flowingwater", the word may also be appliedto the inflow of the tide. Flooding

may occur as an overflow of waterfrom water bodies, such as a river orlake, in which the water overtops orbreaks levees, resulting in some ofthat water escaping its usualboundaries or it

Displaced Populations

One of the most immediate effects of natural disasters is population displacement.When countries are ravaged by earthquakes and other powerful forces of nature, manypeople have to abandon their homes and seek shelter in other regions. A large influx ofrefugees can disrupt everything from accessibility of health care and education to food

supplies and basic hygiene. Large-scale evacuations are common in light of the powerof tsunamis and other natural disasters, and those fortunate enough to survive face arange of challenges following widespread destruction.

Health Risks

Aside from the obvious danger that natural disasters present, the secondary effectscan be just as damaging. Typhoons, hurricanes and tsunamis often cause severeflooding, which can result in the spread of waterborne bacteria and malaria. As aresult, health complications can be prevalent among survivors of natural disasters,and without the help of international relief organizations, death tolls can rise even

after the immediate danger has passed.

Food Scarcity

After natural disasters, food can become scarce. Thousands of people around the

world go hungry as a result of destroyed crops and a loss of agricultural supplies. Theimpacts of hunger following an earthquake, typhoon or hurricane can be tremendous,but fortunately, there are ways you can help. Child Fund Child Alert Emergency Fundprovides people affected by natural disasters with the food and nutritional supportthey need

Emotional Aftershocks

Natural disasters can be particularly traumatic for young children. Confronted withscenes of destruction and the deaths of friends and loved ones, many childrendevelop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a serious psychological condition

resulting from extreme trauma. Left untreated, children suffering from PTSD can beprone to lasting psychological damage and emotional distress.
