Which factors make gujarat vulnerable to various natural disasters?
Gujarat is vulnerable to many disastrs like earthquake, drought, flood, cyclones etc. In Gujarat, factors which contribute to the vulnerability to various disasters are having longest coastline of India which creates/generates air pressure and becomes responsible for disaster like cyclone. Other than this it has a desert area where vegetation is very less and air is very dry and rainfall is very less so this results into drought condition. According to distribution of zones based on the frequency of earthquake in India many regions of gujarat come under zone five which is the most vulnerable zone for earthquake. during monsoon period rivers get overflooded and due to that flood situation becomes worst. there are many active faults present under the earth surface which create earthquake situation. therefor we can say that Gujarat is vulnerable to many disasters because of it's geology and geography.
