Geological Hazards

Geological hazards are natural events caused by the Earth's processes that can lead to significant damage or danger to people, property, and the environment. They include earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, tsunamis, and sinkholes. These hazards occur due to factors like tectonic movements, volcanic activity, or erosion. Their impact can range from minor disruptions to catastrophic disasters, affecting communities and ecosystems. Understanding geological hazards helps in predicting their occurrence and implementing measures to reduce risks, ultimately aiming to protect lives and minimize damage in vulnerable areas.
