&an made disasters: These are caused directly or indirectly by human action. E9amle: >il sills) nuclear lea+a'e) terrorist activities. No* let$s study earth,ua+e) a natural disaster its causes) rotection and safety measures. hat is Earth,ua+e?
(n earth,ua+e is a henomenon that occurs *ithout *arnin' and involves violent sha+in' of 'round and everythin' over it. This occurs due to the movin' lithosheric or crustal lates. These lates move at very slo* rate at the rate of fe* millimeters in ma'na inside earth. hen these lates collide results in earth,ua+e. *hat +ind of e=ect it has *hen it occurs in hi'hly oulated area? @. #t in2ict 'reat dama'e to buildin') roads) factories) dams) brid'es) and thus cause heavy loss of roerties. A. There is 'reat loss of life B. #t can also cause 2oods and land slides 1. hen earth,ua+e haens beneath the ocean can lead to tsunami. Earth ,ua+e rediction or forecastin' is an immature science. #t is not currently ossible to ma+e deterministic redictions of *hen *here earth,ua+e *ill haen. &ost 'eoscientists do not believe that there is a realistic rosect of accurate rediction in the foreseeable future and rincile focus of research is on imrovin' the forecastin' of earth,ua+e. Seismometers are the instruments used to measure the intensity of earth,ua+e *hich measure motion of 'round) includin' seismic *aves 'enerated durin' earth,ua+e. No* let$s see to the safety recautions one has to follo* durin' earth,ua+e to minimi;e the losses. Precautions for a erson resent inside the buildin' @. Ta+e shelter under a table or bed stay there until the tremorC sha+in' stos. A. Protect your head and sine *ith illo* on your arms. B. #n case there are tremors *hen you are in some ublic buildin' then you should stay in the corner or near illar. Dou should not move about or create chaos and remain a*ay from heavy objects 1. hen you are in outdoor 5nd clear sot a*ay from buildin') trees) brid'es and overhead o*er lines.
. #n case there are tremors) *hen you are drivin') you should drive slo*ly and ar+ in clear sot. . %ama'e to the buildin' can be minimi;ed by constructin' earth,ua+e resistant buildin's by +eein' *ea+ sot in house to absorb vibrations or by ma+in' ads or 2oats beneath the buildin's. . ooden houses can be constructed in seismic ;ones. No* let$s study about 2oods *hich is another +ind of natural disaster hat is 2ood? ( 2ood is an over2o* of *ater that submer'es land *hich is usually dry. The Euroean Gnion Floods %irective de5nes a 2ood as a coverin' by *ater of land not normally covered by *ater. Floods often cause colossal loss to human lives and roerty. hat causes 2oods? Floods are caused by natural as *ell as anthroo'enic or human factors. (mon' the natural factors are rolon'ed hi'h intensity rainfalls) meanderin' courses of rivers) brea+ in sloe in the lon' ro5les of rivers) bloc+in' the free 2o* of rivers due to enormous debris rovided by landslides or volcanic erutions. The anthroo'enic activities such as buildin' activities) deforestation etc No* let$s understand major 2ood control measures: Floods are natural henomenon one cannot 'et rid of it but can be minimi;ed by follo*in' these stes @. 4y hastenin' the dischar'e of *ater. A. 4y divertin' the 2o* of *ater. B. 4y forecastin' and *arnin' and advisin' the eole throu'h media to educate eole about the stes to be ta+en in the event of disaster. 1. Elderly eole and children should be evacuated to safer laces. . Valuable household items) animals and other necessary materials li+e food cloth should be shifted to safer laces.

Ne9t cyclones Troical cyclones are the most o*erful) destructive dan'erous and deadly atmosheric storms on earth. They move li+e sinnin' to at the seed of @A/-1//+mChour.
