How long is a natural disaster?

Answer 1

The hurricanes over the south are natural disasters and amoung the worst on record. Katrina was one of the biggest, the 'attack', and the effects cleanup afterwards lasted 6 months, but he economic depression will last for at least a decade, or longer.

A natural disaster is a 'God-inspired' weather phenominon, like an earthquake or atmosphereic occurance, or a tsunami, that is caused by earthquakes. Earthquakes last for less than maybe 5 minutes. Hurricnaes form over the ocean and are driven inland by wind and air patterns. There are in existance for maybe less than a day, at a guess. Only when the encounter cities, building, people, or animals, are they considered 'disasters' that are made by the sun and atmosphere, or God, i.e., nature.

Most tornados (over water) and Hurricanes (over land) last for a very short time, you can see one form in minutes from high winds and atmospheric heat level differences. The difference causes funnels that make drainages in air and, similarly to lightening, an 'opportuniy' rises between two things, and the third, 'natural' disaster appears.

Sometines the disasters are considered that for a long time, until the effects are repaired and the actions caused are fixed and the broken properties are rebuilt. Lives can never be recovered. It is thought that more recent disasters are becoming more troubling because of the climate change, the gradual uincrease in global temerature, i think that is true. All life, all existance on earth, all things occuring on earth are related to effects from the sun. The sun heats the air to make wind, sometimes lots of it, it causes water to evaporate that make rain that feeds plants and us. Shifting of the earths crust's 'tectonic plates' causes earthquakes. It is thought that they are mostly occuring between the plates. I think, it seems likelly that the sun and moon's huge gravity effects (tide and that we are kept in orbit by the suns gravity for an example) increase the probablity of quakes. I know that the earth over places where the sun is has been shown to rise by inches due to gravity. There are tides aren't there? That's water rising by feet.

Consider, the earth is spinning, pretty quickly. the land beneath the sun and moon (as in tides) will rise, it is certain, land, dirt, is not solid, like rock, it will rise, the question is by how much. I would think inches is a low number, so that seems correct. And tides are not only caused by sun and moon pulling together at once to cause tides, they pull when on opposite sides of the earth. When at those spots, the water is drawn by gravity towards the celestial body and away from the rest of the earth. Whatever.
