ENVIRONMENT CAUSING DISASTER TO MAN

ENVIRONMENT CAUSING DISASTER TO MAN 

Man controls the environment. The relationship between humans and environment has varied from the early periods of human settlement on earth to the present day. Environment provides us place to live, food to eat and gives us air we breathe (oxygen) in any geographical location. The environment always creates problems to man, as natural disaster always come up to destroy man and what man has created on the environment. Also man-made disaster created by man on the environment destroys the environment of man too. So man always tries his best to save himself and the environment.

Our environment is full of different forms of disasters, whether natural or man-made disasters. No year in the world that disaster is not recorded, whether natural or man-made. Environmental disasters (Natural disaster), such as hurricanes, earthquakes, monsoons, floods, tsunami and typhoons are disastrous to the environment. Also, man-made disaster, such as wars, explosions and chemical spills.

One third of the world disasters is caused by “Man”, man produce some dangerous explosive which are used for destruction. Example bombs, nuclear weapons, chemicals, which make our environment uncomfortable for us.           

Disaster is an automatic destruction that comes up with/without advance warning that causes great damage, losses, devastation of life and property, deaths and injuries of living things on our environment.

When disaster happens, both governments and humanitarian agencies reach victims and gives immediate needs. Globally, Asia recorded the highest disaster in the world. Environment is a vital thing in man life. Man always tries his best to reduce risk and gives help when disaster strikes on any geographical location.
