What natural disaster is the most dangerest?

Answer 1

Any natural disaster which kills people is dangerous, but probably the most dangerous are those which are difficult to predict or prepare for..

like a tornado, volcano, earthquake, or even a tsunami. A tornado just happens without noticing. A volcano suddenly erupts. An earthquake just happens suddenly and a tsunami is really fast, and you can't overrun it. A hurricane doesn't come suddenly like most of the natural disasters do but it does major damage because they're strong winds over a big plot of land.

Answer 2

According to Manswers, its an asteroid impact. They gave odds of 1:200,000 chance of an asteroid wiping out life on earth during your lifetime; which is higher than the individual chances of dying in a flood, earthquake, etc.

The above is a ludicrous exaggeration (consider the source), and is factually false. Total extinction of the human race via asteroid (or comet) or other celestial impact is literally astronomically tiny. Even killing a substantial number of humans is highly unlikely. For instance, no human settlement in recorded history has been hit by a meteor or comet. (The odds of a large impact are estimated at 1 per 100 million years, according to the International Astrometical Union). Small impacts (causing damage on the order of dozens of megatons) are much more likely - on the order of once per millennium, but that damage is extremely local (essentially, equivalent death to a large nuclear weapon being detonated), and presumes that the impact happens in a highly urban area.

Which natural disaster is most likely to kill you depends entirely on your specific physical location, and not just the country you live in. World-wide, taking humanity as a whole, floods and drought are by far the largest killers, historically. This has changed over the past half-century, as modern civilization has been able to significantly reduce the impact of many natural disasters. Currently, severe wind weather (tornado, cyclone, hurricane) is the largest killer.

Answer 3

Hurricane is one of the most dangerous kind of disaster.

Any natural disaster which kills people is dangerous, but probably the most dangerous are those which are difficult to predict or prepare for..

like a tornado,volcano,earthquake,or even a tsunami.A tornado just happens without noticing.A volcano suddenly errupts.An earthquake just happens suddenly.and a tsunami is really fast and you can't overun it. A hurricane doesn't come suddenly like most of the natural disasters do but it does mayor damage because they're strong winds over a big plot of land.

Thats true. Hurricanes are deadly and unpredictable, but they only affect a small part of the Earth. An asteroid strike or a supervolcano would have planetary consequences, and would be the deadliest natural disasters. But if you count the sun as a natural disaster, then the deadliest disaster would definitly be failure of the sun.

Answer 4

World-wide, high winds (tornado, cyclone, or hurricane) are the biggest killer, followed by floods and drought. Historically speaking, Drought and Floods were far and away the largest killers; only in the last half-century has humanity been able to radically reduce deaths from these sources.
