A hazard occurs when there is a potential for harm or adverse effects in a given situation. It can arise from natural events, human activities, or environmental factors. The likelihood of a hazard leading to an actual incident often increases when individuals are exposed to the hazard without adequate precautions or controls in place. Understanding when and how hazards occur is crucial for effective risk management and safety planning.

Why is research being done on the behavior and occurrence of lightning?
Lightning is a very interesting natural phenomenon, and is also known as a natural hazard. Knowing more about how, why and where it occurs can aid in both theoretical science and in hazard managament and mitigation.
Which volcanic hazard occurs when melted snow or excessive rain mixes with volcanic sediments?
This can create volcanic mudflows called lahars.
Which of these is a non-explosive hazard of a sub-munition?
spring pressure hazard
What is a terrestrial hazard?
A Tectonic Hazard is caused where two plates meet, these plates are platforms of rock that move on the convewction currents created by the earths core; they are known as tectonic plates. Tectonic hazards are the most obvious in the form of volcanoes and earthquakes, however they can also be other events that are linked to Earthquakes and volcanoes such as tsunamis.

When does a hazard lead to a disaster?
A disaster occurs when the impact of a hazard on a section of society is such that the people are unable to cope with the event,causing death ,injury,loss of property and economic losses.
What hazard is created electrical charge is allowed to accumulate to the point where an uncontrolled discharge occurs?
static electricity
Your hazard lights flash on their own in your Citroen Xsara Picasso?
If this occurs under heavy braking (i.e. ABS has kicked in), then the hazard lights will start flashing. They will turn themselves off after a few seconds of normal driving. If it occurs whilst generally driving along, it could be a bad connection in the hazard light switch, or something more technical inside the car itself.

What does the Oxidising hazard symbol mean?
The oxidizing hazard symbol means the substance has the ability to react with oxygen, usually dangerously.
What type of hazard occurs went the oxygen in the air or blood is replaced by a different substance denying living organisms the oxygen they need?
Asphyxiation hazard occurs when oxygen in the air or blood is replaced by a different substance, depriving living organisms of the oxygen they need to survive. This can lead to suffocation, unconsciousness, and potentially death if the oxygen supply is not restored promptly. It is important to ensure proper ventilation and monitor oxygen levels in enclosed spaces to prevent this hazard.
What hazard is created when electrical charge is allowed to accumulate to the point where an uncontrolled discharge occurs?
When electrical charge accumulates to the point where an uncontrolled discharge occurs, it can create the hazard of an electrical arc. This arc can produce high temperatures, intense light, pressure waves, and the potential for fires and explosions. Additionally, it poses a risk of electric shock to anyone nearby.
What is a difference between a hazard and a disaster?
A hazard is a dangerous place or situation (that hasn't taken place), eg, live electric wires on a power pole. A natural disaster is a catastrophe that occurs as a result of nature, eg, tsunamis, earthquakes and bush fires.
What are the different of hazard?
physical hazard,mechanical hazard,chemical hazard,electric shock hazard,crt monitor high voltage hazard.
