the quaking of the earth
Earthquakes are natural as they are caused by tectonic activity and they are known as disasters because the effects of earthquakes can be disastrous.
The study of earthquakes is called seismology. Seismologists study the origins, pathways, and effects of seismic waves generated by earthquakes to better understand these natural phenomena.
Earthquakes, floods, landslides, cyclones, avalanche and epidemics
Local effects of earthquakes include ground shaking and rupture, fires, and damage.
A natural disaster is the effect of a natural hazard (e.g. flood, tornado, volcanic eruption, earthquake or landslide) that effects the environment and leads to financial, environmental and/or human losses.
alot
nope :)
Deforestation can exacerbate the impacts of earthquakes by destabilizing soil and increasing the likelihood of landslides in affected areas. The removal of trees reduces the land's ability to absorb water, leading to increased runoff and erosion, which can further weaken the ground during seismic events. Additionally, the loss of vegetation can disrupt natural barriers and support systems that help to mitigate the effects of earthquakes, potentially increasing the damage. Overall, while deforestation may not directly cause earthquakes, it can significantly amplify their effects on the environment and communities.

The Philippines experience: typhoons, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and all the associated effects like flooding, crop damage etc.
