This document defines and describes different types of natural disasters including floods, tsunamis, storms, limnic eruptions, and cyclones. Floods are defined as overflow of water that submerges dry land. Tsunamis resemble rapidly rising tides rather than waves and arrive in wave trains. A limnic eruption occurs when carbon dioxide erupts from deep lake water, endangering wildlife. Cyclones are storm systems with low pressure and thunderstorms that produce strong winds and rain by feeding on heat from rising moist air.

Signs From Earth
Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides reacting with water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids that can harm plants, animals, and infrastructure through wet deposition. Hurricanes and tornadoes are powerful storm systems - hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and have strong winds while tornadoes are rotating columns of air between the ground and storm clouds. Tsunamis are large sea waves caused by displacement of water in the oceans, usually triggered by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the sea. Drought occurs when a region experiences a prolonged shortage of water, while earthquakes are caused by a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that generates seismic waves. Global warming is raising temperatures and causing
Natural disasters
This document defines and describes several types of natural disasters:
Volcanic eruptions occur when pressure forces magma up through a volcano's conduit. Earthquakes are caused by the sudden movement of tectonic plates. Floods happen when heavy rainfall or melting snow causes water levels in rivers and lakes to rise over land. The document also discusses avalanches, droughts, forest fires, hurricanes, lightning strikes, and tsunamis, explaining the causes and impacts of each type of natural disaster.
Floods
Floods are generally defined as water where it is not wanted, specifically a temporary condition where dry land is partially or fully covered by overflowing water from inland or tidal waters due to unusually heavy rainfall or runoff. Flooding most commonly occurs when heavy rainfall exceeds the capacity of natural waterways, but can also be caused by storm surges from cyclones or tsunamis in coastal areas, as well as dam failures triggered by earthquakes. Flooding causes damage by inundating areas with more water than the land can absorb or channel.
Natural disaster
This PowerPoint presentation contains information about 5 natural disasters:
1) Tsunami - A series of water waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, typically an ocean, and can be triggered by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, or explosions under water.
2) Earthquake - A sudden, rapid shaking of the earth caused by the breaking and shifting of rocks beneath the surface that can last seconds to minutes and be followed by foreshocks and aftershocks.
3) Flood - An overflow of water that submerges land, which can result from excessive water in a body of water like a river or lake overflowing its banks or breaking levees.
Tornado копия
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extends from a cumulonimbus cloud to the ground. Most tornadoes are about 250 feet wide and travel a few miles before dissipating, but the strongest can be over 2 miles wide and stay on the ground for over 100 km. A drought is an extended period of below average rainfall that causes water shortages, harming local ecosystems and economies. A typhoon is a tropical cyclone that develops in the northwest Pacific Ocean between 180-100°E.
HUMANITIES YEAR 9: FLOODS
Floods occur when water overflows or accumulates over land that is usually dry. They can develop slowly from sustained rainfall or snowmelt or quickly from flash floods. Floods are studied in hydrology and cause damage if homes are in flood plains, though people are also drawn to rivers for fertile land and transportation. Different types of floods include flash floods, riverine floods from rain or snowmelt overwhelming channels, coastal floods from storm surges, and urban floods from overwhelmed drainage. The deadliest floods in history include three Chinese floods between 1887-1938 that caused between 700,000 and 3.7 million deaths.

This document defines and provides examples of different types of natural phenomena including:
- Geological phenomena such as mineralogic and lithologic phenomena that are explained by geology.
- Meteorological phenomena such as weather events involving temperature, pressure, and moisture that are studied at various scales.
- Oceanographic phenomena under the sea like tsunamis and ocean currents.
- Specific atmospheric optical phenomena like lenticular clouds and circumhorizontal arcs formed by ice crystals in cirrus clouds.
Disasters(by aagman saini)
Natural disasters include earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, cyclones, floods, droughts, tornadoes, and tsunamis. They are caused by shifts in the Earth's crust or severe weather events and can seriously disrupt communities. While often natural in origin, human activities may exacerbate some disasters by increasing their frequency or severity. Understanding the causes of different disasters may help mitigate their harmful impacts.
Mina and heart
The key hazards that occur along coastal areas are coastal erosion, submersion, and saltwater intrusion. Coastal erosion is caused by wave action, tides, and storms and results in the wearing away of coastlines. Submersion happens when sea levels rise, flooding previously dry land. Saltwater intrusion occurs when denser saltwater moves inland underground, contaminating freshwater supplies. These hazards are exacerbated by events like cyclones and sea level rise due to climate change.
social science
This document discusses different types of natural disasters including hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. It explains that hurricanes, tropical cyclones, and typhoons are different names for the same cyclonic storm system formed over oceans by evaporated water. Floods occur when a body of water exceeds its capacity and overflow. Tornadoes are rotating columns of air that can reach speeds over 300 mph. Earthquakes are caused by a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust creating seismic waves. Tsunamis are a series of waves created by the rapid displacement of a large body of water.
Tsunami
Tsunami are series of large water waves caused by the displacement of water in oceans or large lakes, often triggered by earthquakes. They occur when the seafloor abruptly deforms and displaces the overlying water. Tsunami damage coastal areas through immense walls of fast moving water that smash into land, and by draining off the land while carrying large debris. Tsunami waves have both positive and negative peaks, so the first wave making landfall can either be a massive breaking wave or sudden flooding from the ridge, or a dramatic drawback of the shoreline if the trough arrives first.
Floods as natural hazards
Floods have the greatest damage potential when compared to the other natural disasters, over the environment. Floods are also considered to be both social and economic disasters. This module highlights the details of floods as natural hazards.
Exogenous disasters cyclones
Hazards which originate above the surface of the earth (in the atmosphere) are called exogenous hazards.
Natural Disasters by Roshan Adhithya
This document provides information about different types of natural disasters including earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, cyclones, and tornados. Pictures are included to illustrate each type of disaster. It discusses the causes and impacts of each disaster type, such as building collapse, fires, and damage to infrastructure from earthquakes or volcanic ash. Statistics are given showing most natural catastrophes in 2012 were weather related, with over $170 billion in total costs. The document concludes with potential ways to prevent impacts of natural disasters like famine.
exogenous hazards
Cyclones are large-scale rotating air masses that form around low-pressure centers. They are characterized by inward spiraling winds and can cause heavy rainfall, strong winds, landfalls, and tornadoes. There are several types of cyclones including tropical cyclones that form over oceans in summer, hurricanes and typhoons being tropical cyclones, and polar cyclones that occur in polar regions in winter. Tropical cyclones are categorized from 1 to 5 based on their intensity and wind speeds.
Disaster management
Environmental science& Engg:
Hazard
Any phenomenon that has the potential to cause disruption or damage to people and their environment.
For example, an earthquake can cause a tsunami.
Disaster
Natural disasters are slightly different. They are the effects of natural hazards on humanity.
For example, the tsunami in Indonesia caused a great amount of loss of property and more importantly lives.
Natural Calamities
The document defines and describes four natural calamities: earthquake, tornado, tsunami, and flood. Earthquakes are sudden violent ground shaking caused by crustal or volcanic movements. Tornadoes are destructive rotating funnel clouds under large storms. Tsunamis are large sea waves caused by earthquakes or other disturbances. Floods occur when rivers receive excess water from rain or disasters, causing overflow onto surrounding land.

This document discusses several types of natural disasters:
- Avalanches are rapid flows of snow down slopes that can kill over 150 people worldwide each year, mostly skiers and snowboarders.
- Earthquakes result from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust and can range from undetectable to violent enough to propel objects into the air.
- Floods occur when bodies of water overflow their normal boundaries onto normally dry land, posing risks to agriculture, infrastructure, and health.
- Hurricanes are powerful tropical storms that form over warm ocean waters and bring strong winds, heavy rain, and flooding.

Natural disasters
Natural disasters are major adverse events caused by natural processes on Earth, such as floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and other geologic processes. Examples of natural disasters discussed include avalanches, which are rapid snow flows down sloping surfaces; earthquakes, which are releases of energy in the Earth's crust creating seismic waves; volcanic eruptions, which expel lava, ash and gases from volcanic vents; floods, which are overflows of water submerging dry land; and tsunamis, which are series of waves caused by displacement of large water volumes, often from earthquakes or landslides.

A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extends from a cumulonimbus cloud to the ground. Most tornadoes have wind speeds under 110 mph, are 250 feet wide, and travel a few miles before dissipating. However, the strongest can have winds over 300 mph and stretch over 2 miles wide while traveling dozens of miles on the ground.
Tsunami Description
Tsunamis are not single waves, but rather "wave trains" consisting of multiple waves that pound the shoreline repeatedly. They are generated when earthquakes or landslides cause the seafloor to abruptly deform and vertically displace the overlying water. As the tsunami wave travels from deep to shallow water, its wavelength decreases rapidly, causing the water to pile up into tremendous crests in a process called "shoaling". Most tsunamis are caused by earthquakes in subduction zones, where an oceanic plate is being forced down into the mantle by plate tectonic forces, causing the plates to become stuck and stored seismic energy to build over long periods of time. Tsunamis most frequently occur

Many natural changes are undesirable.It is necessary that these changes are properly controlled . We must study these changes to learn how they are caused and find ways to control them to safe guard ourselves.
Presentation1
Tsunami waves are actually "wave trains" consisting of multiple waves rather than single waves. Tsunamis are generated when the seafloor abruptly deforms and vertically displaces the overlying water, such as during tectonic earthquakes where the seafloor is deformed beneath the sea. As the displaced water mass acts under gravity to regain equilibrium, waves are formed. Even though tsunamis are generated in deep water, they are considered shallow-water waves that can cause tremendous crests as the wavelength decreases rapidly in shallow coastal waters during shoaling.
Tsunami
This document summarizes information about tsunamis. Tsunamis are large sea waves caused by underwater earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions. When tsunamis reach shore, their amplitude increases and their speed decreases, often resulting in widespread damage. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was particularly devastating, killing over 200,000 people across several countries. While tsunamis cannot be controlled, understanding their causes and characteristics can help reduce loss of life.
Tsunami
Tsunamis are a series of large waves caused by the displacement of water, generally in oceans or large lakes, which can be triggered by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, meteorite impacts or other disturbances above or below water. Tsunami waves have an extremely long wavelength compared to normal sea waves and may initially resemble a rapidly rising tide. Wave heights can reach tens of meters and tsunamis can affect entire ocean basins, with the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami killing over 230,000 people across 14 countries. The term tsunami comes from Japanese, meaning 'harbour wave' and they are sometimes incorrectly called tidal waves.
Tsunami
A tsunami is a series of waves generated by an underwater displacement of water, usually caused by earthquakes. Tsunamis are not single waves but rather a "wave train" consisting of multiple waves. They can be very destructive when reaching land, causing flooding and crushing coastal structures with fast-moving water. Proper warning systems and evacuation of low-lying areas can help reduce loss of life from these devastating natural disasters.
Tsunami explanation text
The document is an explanation of tsunamis. It begins with a general statement defining a tsunami as a series of waves generated by the rapid displacement of water on a massive scale. It then provides a sequenced explanation that tsunamis are generated when the seafloor abruptly deforms and displaces the overlying water, such as during submarine earthquakes when tectonic plates shift. The closing statement notes that tsunamis cause great damage primarily from the huge mass of water behind the initial wave front as the sea level rises quickly and floods coastal areas with great force.
Tsunami
Tsunamis are large ocean waves caused by underwater earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions or meteor impacts. While hardly noticeable at sea, tsunami waves grow enormously in size as they reach shorelines, causing devastating damage. Tsunami inundation refers to how far inland tsunami waves penetrate, which varies in each location and is determined by bathymetry, topography, and other geological factors. Common signs of approaching tsunamis include earthquakes, receding or suddenly surging water, and unnatural ocean sounds. Immediate evacuation to high ground can save lives when these signs are noticed.
Tsunami
1) Tsunamis are large, destructive waves caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides or other disturbances that displace large volumes of water.
2) While difficult to detect in deep ocean waters, tsunamis slow down and increase in height as they reach shallow coastal waters, where they can cause catastrophic damage by rapidly flooding low-lying areas.
3) International warning systems use seismic and ocean monitoring technologies to detect tsunamis and issue alerts, but coastal evacuations must be rapid as some tsunamis can reach shore in just minutes.
Цунамі
A tsunami is a series of waves generated by large displacements of water, often caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides or other disturbances. Tsunami waves have extremely long wavelengths of up to hundreds of kilometers and grow dramatically in height and destructive power when reaching shallow coastal waters. Notable historic tsunamis include the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that killed over 230,000 people across 14 countries making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in modern times. Current research focuses on better understanding why some quakes trigger tsunamis while others don't and improving tsunami forecasting across ocean basins.
Tsunami
This document is a PowerPoint presentation on tsunamis submitted by Jisha Antony for their social science class. It introduces tsunamis, explaining that they are a series of waves caused by displacement of water, generally in oceans or large lakes, due to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides or other disturbances above or below water. It then covers the etymology, history, effects and warnings of tsunamis, noting Japan's long history with tsunamis and the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. The presentation discusses drawbacks like deceptive troughs and receding waters, and concludes that while tsunami prediction has improved, much remains unknown about what triggers them.

It covers aspects like the Great Wall spanning over 2,000 years of construction and 1 million workers dying during its building, Petra's buildings carved into rock cliffs, and the Taj Mahal being a mausoleum built by an emperor for his wife.
Reincarnation by Constantinos Patsalis
Reincarnation is the belief that when one dies, one's soul is reborn in a new body. This is a central tenet of Hinduism and Buddhism and is also found in other religions and tribal societies. There are debates around what exactly is reincarnated - the soul? consciousness? The majority of Abrahamic religions like Christianity and Islam do not believe in reincarnation, seeing life as linear with an afterlife, rather than cyclical rebirth.
Spiritual Fathers
This document discusses spiritual fathers in Christianity. It explains that many Christians view spiritual fathers as mentors who guide them in living according to Christ and achieving spiritual salvation, beyond their natural fathers. It notes that some of the greatest modern spiritual fathers live at Mount Athos in Greece, called the Holy Mountain. It lists several famous spiritual fathers from the 20th century, including Father Paisios, Father Porfirios, Father Filotheos Zervakos, and Father Ieronimos of Aegina. The document concludes that even after death, spiritual fathers like Paisios continue to help people through miracles, such as appearing in visions, making prophecies, and discerning people's problems upon first meeting them.
Life after death by Stephanos Chilides
This document discusses life after death according to Buddhist beliefs. It states that at the time of death, the vital energy that powered the physical body is released into the universe. This energy then propels the subtle body away from the earth and to different planes of existence, with the weight or karma of the subtle body determining which plane it goes to. So death is just the end of the physical body, while the energy and subtle body continue on, as energy cannot be destroyed.
Judaism by Antonia Kattou
Judaism is a religious tradition and cultural identity of the Jewish people that originated in the ancient land of Israel. It is one of the oldest monotheistic religions still practiced today. The core beliefs are that God revealed laws and commandments to Moses, and Jews follow teachings from the Torah. The symbol of Judaism is the Star of David, though historically the menorah was also an important symbol. Synagogues are the places of Jewish worship and study.
Judaism by Pavlina Paschalidou
Judaism dates back to around 1800 BC and developed as the traditional monotheistic religion of the Jews. Key teachings of Judaism include believing in one God, treating others well, honoring the Sabbath as a day of rest, praying regularly, and studying Jewish texts to gain wisdom. Today, Israel is the only country where Jews make up a majority of the population, though there are also large Jewish populations in places like the United States and some European countries. Sources of information about Judaism include academic blogs and websites outlining its key teachings.
Islam by Carolina Papademetriou
Islam is a monotheistic religion articulated by the Quran and teachings of Muhammad. It began in Mecca in the 7th century CE and Muslims believe God revealed the religion to Muhammad. The basic practices of Islam, called the Five Pillars, are the confession of faith, daily prayers, alms giving, fasting during Ramadan, and the pilgrimage to Mecca once in a lifetime if able. Some countries with large Muslim populations include Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Egypt, Turkey and others.
Hinduism by Theodoros Panayiotou
Hinduism's early history is difficult to define because there was no single "Hinduism" historically and it encompasses many traditions without a definite starting point. Hinduism's history is closely tied to social and political developments in South Asia over many thousands of years. Hindus generally believe that time is cyclical rather than linear, moving through successive ages of deterioration until the current "Iron Age" of cruelty and materialism.
Buddhism by Eleni Georgiou
Buddhism originated in India and is based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, known as the Buddha, who lived between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE. The Buddha taught that life is suffering due to craving and ignorance, and that one can be liberated from suffering by eliminating craving and ignorance through understanding dependent origination and attaining nirvana. In Buddhism, karma refers to intentional actions that have moral consequences, and rebirth is understood as the continuation of a dynamic, ever-changing process determined by karma rather than the transmigration of a soul.
The rock of Digenis
Digenis was in love with Rigena and asked her to marry him, but she said she would only if he brought her water from distant areas of Cyprus. Though difficult, Digenis succeeded but Rigena didn't keep her promise, angering Digenis who threw a giant rock near her house. Another myth says Digenis lifted a huge rock and threw it into the sea to save Cyprus from invaders.
The Rock of Degenis by Constantinos
The Rock of Digenis, also known as Petra tou Romiou, is a solitary rock formation in northern Cyprus that is the subject of a famous Cypriot folk tale. According to the legend, Digenis transported water for his love Rigaina from a distant location through clay pipes, though she did not keep her promise to marry him. Enraged, Digenis threw a huge rock at Rigaina's house, while she threw her spinning needle at Digenis in return. Traces of the clay pipes can still be seen, and the rock formation and needle remain as landmarks related to the myth. The area around the Rock of Digenis is a popular tourist attraction for its natural beauty.
The myth of Aphrodite and Adonis (1)
The myth of Aphrodite and Adonis describes their relationship and Adonis's tragic death. Aphrodite was the goddess of love born from sea foam. She fell in love with Adonis, the handsome son of Myrrha, who was impregnated by her father. Jealous that Aphrodite loved Adonis, Ares transformed into a wild boar and killed Adonis during a hunt. When Adonis died, Aphrodite mourned and used her powers to turn his blood into anemone flowers. Though Adonis went to the underworld, he returned to the earth for part of each year due to Aphrodite's pleas.
Pygmalion1
Pygmalion was a sculptor in ancient Greece who carved a beautiful statue of a woman named Galatea. He fell in love with the statue and prayed to Aphrodite to bring the statue to life. Aphrodite took pity on Pygmalion and brought Galatea to life. Pygmalion and Galatea then married and lived happily ever after, giving thanks to Aphrodite. The myth of Pygmalion has been retold and referenced in many works of art and literature through the centuries.
Pygmalion
Pygmalion was a sculptor from Greek mythology who fell in love with a statue he had carved named Galateia. On Aphrodite's festival day, he made offerings and wished to find a woman like his statue. When he returned home, he found that Galateia had come to life. Aphrodite had granted his wish, and they married and spent their lives in love. Some say they had children together.
Cinyras
Cinyras was a ruler on Cyprus mentioned in Homer's writings. He promised Agamemnon ships for the Trojan War but only sent one made of earth. He was later cursed. In other legends, Cinyras was revered as a creator of art and music. Sources disagree on his parentage but agree he had a daughter Myrrha who engaged in incest with him. This union produced Adonis and Cinyras committed suicide over the matter.
Arodaphnousa
Arodaphnousa was a beautiful young woman from a village near Paphos, Cyprus. When the King saw her one day, he fell in love with her at first sight. He asked her to work in the palace to be closer to her. However, when the Queen discovered their secret love affair, she tortured and imprisoned Arodaphnousa out of jealousy. Years later, after the King returned from a long journey, he found Arodaphnousa near death. She told him their love was bitter before passing away, like the flower Arodaphne which is known for its beauty but bitterness.
Aphrodite and Adonis
Uranus imprisoned his children in Tartarus, angering Gaia. She sent Cronus to overthrow Uranus, and the blood from the battle formed Aphrodite in the sea foam. Aphrodite fell in love with Adonis, who was killed by a boar sent by the jealous Ares. Aphrodite begged Zeus to bring Adonis back, but Persephone also loved him and they agreed he would spend four months with each goddess. The annual Adonia festival mourned Adonis' death and celebrated his resurrection.

The Jewish Trinity : Sabbath,Shekinah and Sanctuary 4.pdf
we may assume that God created the cosmos to be his great temple, in which he rested after his creative work. Nevertheless, his special revelatory presence did not fill the entire earth yet, since it was his intention that his human vice-regent, whom he installed in the garden sanctuary, would extend worldwide the boundaries of that sanctuary and of God’s presence. Adam, of course, disobeyed this mandate, so that humanity no longer enjoyed God’s presence in the little localized garden. Consequently, the entire earth became infected with sin and idolatry in a way it had not been previously before the fall, while yet in its still imperfect newly created state. Therefore, the various expressions about God being unable to inhabit earthly structures are best understood, at least in part, by realizing that the old order and sanctuary have been tainted with sin and must be cleansed and recreated before God’s Shekinah presence, formerly limited to heaven and the holy of holies, can dwell universally throughout creation

Natural disasters Group 6

- 3. Floods A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land which is usually dry. In the sense of "flowing water", the word may also be applied to the inflow of the tide. Flooding may occur as an overflow of water from water bodies, such as a river or lake, in which the water overtops or breaks levees, resulting in some of that water escaping its usual boundaries, or it may occur due to an accumulation of rainwater on saturated ground in an areal flood.
- 5. Tsunami Tsunami waves do not resemble normal sea waves, because their wavelength is far longer. Rather than appearing as a breaking wave, a tsunami may instead initially resemble a rapidly rising tide, and for this reason they are often referred to as tidal waves. Tsunamis generally consist of a series of waves with periods ranging from minutes to hours, arriving in a so-called "wave train".
- 7. Limnic Eruption A limnic eruption, also referred to as a lake overturn, is a rare type of natural disaster in which dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) suddenly erupts from deep lake water, suffocating wildlife, livestock and humans.
- 9. Cyclone A tropical cyclone is a storm system characterized by a low-pressure center and numerous thunderstorms that produces strong winds and flooding rain. A tropical cyclone feeds on heat released when moist air rises, resulting in condensation of water vapour contained in the moist air.
