How does global warming affect natural disasters?

Answer 1

As global warming is an increase in the average temperature this predicts more El Nino events, droughts, rising sea levels as well as stronger tropical storms.

A:

1. Increased probability and intensity of droughts and heat waves: Although some areas of Earth will become wetter due to global warming, other areas will suffer serious droughts and heat waves. Africa will receive the worst of it, with more severe droughts also expected in Europe, with millions at risk of starvation.
2. Warmer waters and more hurricanes: As the temperature of oceans rises, so will the probability of more frequent and stronger hurricanes. We saw in this in 2004 and 2005.

Answer 2

A wide range of expected effects. These include an increased frequency of extreme weather events such as

• droughts and flooding,
• melting of ice at the poles,
• retreats of glaciers,
• rise in sea levels due to both melting ice and
• thermal expansion of sea water.

For those that believe in the science of global warming there are a wide range of expected effects. These include an increased frequency of extreme weather events such as droughts and flooding, melting of ice at the poles, retreats of glaciers, rise in sea levels due to both melting ice and thermal expansion of sea water. These effects are supported by all the major learned science associations in the world such as the (British) Royal Society, the (US) National Academy of Science, the Australian Academy of Science etc.

Answer 3

It starts from the carbon dioxide and green house gassing, Because people uses to much of it like driving a car to much carbon dioxide and uses fridges and factories use to much to the atmosphere does nothing it all starts from to much heat. sorry if this wrong I'm only guessing I'm a youngster so don't worry if it wrong.

Answer 4

Global warming makes natural disasters more frequent like for warmer oceans, there will be more hurricanes or a deadliest version of hurricane called "hypercane". With hotter air in the clouds, more electrical charges can build up making more thunderstorms. Rains are getting heavier, so there will be more flood and for the other side there will be more drought.
Natural disasters makes natural disasters more frequent like with hotter oceans and atmosphere, more and stronger hurricanes can form.

Answer 5

Natural disasters are destructive events not caused by human actions. Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, cyclones, tornadoes, flooding downpours and major storms are all examples.

Global warming will only cause the serious weather events, adding extra energy to storms. It will have nothing to do with earthquakes, tornadoes and volcanic eruptions.

Answer 6

Well one natural disaster it can cause is by melting the polar ice caps,which would result in water level rising. It can also cause floods and many other natural disasters.

Answer 7

Global warming means more heat in the atmosphere. Heat is energy and this energy is expended in storms and cyclones.

Answer 8

ice caps melting and sea rising
