Natural disaster
This PowerPoint presentation contains information about 5 natural disasters:
1) Tsunami - A series of water waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, typically an ocean, and can be triggered by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, or explosions under water.
2) Earthquake - A sudden, rapid shaking of the earth caused by the breaking and shifting of rocks beneath the surface that can last seconds to minutes and be followed by foreshocks and aftershocks.
3) Flood - An overflow of water that submerges land, which can result from excessive water in a body of water like a river or lake overflowing its banks or breaking levees.

Disaster management involves responding to and mitigating extreme natural or man-made events that exceed tolerable limits and cause catastrophic losses. Tropical cyclones are among the most powerful and destructive atmospheric storms, with wind speeds up to 400 km/hr and heavy rainfall. Mitigation efforts include tree planting, constructing dams and drainage systems, and evacuation routes. Floods occur when heavy rain or snowmelt causes water to overflow riverbanks for several days. Drought is a prolonged period of dryness that can kill vegetation and change ecosystems. Earthquakes generate seismic waves that cause buildings and infrastructure to collapse, sometimes triggering tsunamis and landslides. Disaster relief includes search and rescue operations, temporary shelter, healthcare, and

Natural disasters Group3
This document summarizes different types of natural disasters connected to water: storms, floods, tsunamis, and heavy rainfall. Storms are strong gusty winds over bodies of water. Floods occur when water overflows river or lake banks or from heavy rainfall, including areal, riverine, and coastal flooding. Tsunamis are series of waves caused by displacement of water, often due to earthquakes. Heavy rainfall consists of water droplets that have condensed from vapor and fall due to gravity, impacting at increasing speeds with larger droplet sizes. All of these natural disasters can cause loss of life or property damage.

Natural disasters Group4
Natural disasters connected with water can include tsunamis, storms, and floods. A tsunami is a series of waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, often triggered by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides under the sea. Storms generally lead to severe weather like heavy rain, flooding, lightning, or strong winds that can damage property. A flood is an overflow of water that covers land not usually submerged, which can occur when a river, lake, or rainwater rises and spills outside of normal boundaries.
Natural disaster ppt hc
Natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis are major adverse events caused by natural processes that can result in loss of life, property damage or economic impacts depending on the resilience of the affected population. While an event may not cause widespread damage in an unpopulated area, the same event can have disastrous consequences if it occurs in a vulnerable area, as seen with the 2015 Nepal earthquake that caused lasting damage requiring years of repairs. Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves, which can be powerful enough to destroy cities. Floods occur when water submerges land that is usually dry, such as from overflowing

Disaster management
Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and movement of tectonic plates can cause earth-related disasters like earthquakes. Earthquakes can result in fires, landslides, destruction of infrastructure, and loss of life. Proper construction of earthquake-resistant buildings, relief efforts, and education can help manage earthquakes risks. Landslides are also induced by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, damaging habitations, agriculture, roads, and bridges. Floods from heavy rain, snowmelt, or cyclones can damage crops, property, transportation and spread disease. Anthropogenic disasters, both intentional and accidental, include wars, terrorism, industrial accidents and fires, causing severe harm.
Drought
Drought is defined as a period with less than average water supply, whether surface or underground. It can last months or years and is caused by consistently low precipitation. There are four types of drought: meteorological based on dryness compared to normal; agricultural linking dryness to farm impacts; hydrological associated with low streamflow and reservoirs; and socioeconomic when people are affected by water shortages. Drought damages include direct losses like income and indirect losses like reduced revenues. Causes are natural like less rain or human-made like overuse of water.
natural disters
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. They form where warm moist air meets cold dry air and can reach wind speeds over 300 mph. Most tornadoes last less than 10 minutes and cause extreme damage due to their high winds.
Natural hazards and disaster,types,mitigation and management
This document provides an introduction to natural hazards and discusses several specific types of hazards including earthquakes, tsunamis, and tropical cyclones. It explains that a geohazard involves an earth process interacting with human activity to cause loss of life or property. Understanding the human element is critical because population growth is increasing the number of people living in hazard-prone areas. While the geological processes cannot be stopped, efforts can be made to mitigate hazards through scientific study, education, engineering practices, and emergency management. Specific natural hazards like earthquakes, tsunamis, and tropical cyclones are then examined in more detail including how they form and the damage they can cause.
Tectonic Hazards Global Trends Overview
The document discusses trends in tectonic hazards such as earthquakes and volcanoes. It notes that the annual death toll from earthquakes has been higher in recent decades than in the last century, despite earthquake frequency remaining normal. Additionally, over 50-60 volcanoes erupt each year worldwide, and earthquakes cause the most deaths per event, killing over 495,000 people between 1988 and 2007. The economic costs of disasters have also risen over time.
Natural disasters Group6
This document discusses various natural disasters connected to water. It defines floods as an overflow of water that submerges land, usually due to excessive water in a river, lake, or from heavy rainfall. Drought is defined as an extended period without sufficient water supply. Earthquakes result from a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that causes seismic waves. Volcanic eruptions occur when a volcano actively releases lava and gases. Tsunamis are large ocean waves caused by earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions displacing water. Hurricanes are large storm systems that form over warm ocean waters and bring strong winds and rain.

Exogenous disasters
Exogenous hazards originate above the earth's surface and include atmospheric, hydrospheric, and lithospheric disasters. Atmospheric disasters occur in the atmosphere and include droughts, rainfall, snowfall, winds, and hailstorms. Hydrospheric disasters are related to water and include wave currents, tsunamis, and floods. Lithospheric hazards occur near the earth's surface and are made up of landslides, weathering, erosion, avalanches, and sinkholes.
DISASTER AND ITS CAUSES
Natural disasters are events caused by natural hazards like floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, etc. that lead to damage and losses. The impact of a natural hazard depends on the vulnerability of the affected population - their ability to resist the hazard. While hazards exist naturally, it is human settlement and involvement that transforms them into disasters. Several types of natural hazards are described in detail, including earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, volcanoes, floods, and thunderstorms. Common causes and effects of each hazard are summarized.
Natural disasters Group 6
This document defines and describes different types of natural disasters including floods, tsunamis, storms, limnic eruptions, and cyclones. Floods are defined as overflow of water that submerges dry land. Tsunamis resemble rapidly rising tides rather than waves and arrive in wave trains. A limnic eruption occurs when carbon dioxide erupts from deep lake water, endangering wildlife. Cyclones are storm systems with low pressure and thunderstorms that produce strong winds and rain by feeding on heat from rising moist air.

- Tsunami, flood, drought, storm, and earthquake are listed as major natural disasters.
- A flood is defined as an overflow of water that submerges land, usually caused by river, lake, or ocean overflow.
- An earthquake is defined as the shaking of the Earth's surface from a sudden release of energy, creating seismic waves that can destroy cities.
- A tsunami is defined as a series of waves caused by large volumes of water displacement, often from earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
Global Hazard Trends
The document discusses several global trends related to natural hazards and disasters. It notes that while the number of reported disasters has increased significantly since 1960 due to improved recording and communications, the number of people killed by disasters has fallen. However, population growth and urbanization have led to more people living in hazardous areas, increasing risks. Other trends like climate change, deforestation, and poverty are also thought to be exacerbating disaster impacts, particularly in developing regions. Overall, global trends show rising disaster occurrence but falling death tolls, suggesting improvements in disaster management, warning systems, and relief efforts. However, the total economic costs of disasters continue rising.

disaster managment - AKSHAY WILSON
Disasters can be natural or man-made. Natural disasters include meteorological events like floods, droughts and tornadoes, topographical events like avalanches and landslides, and environmental catastrophes like volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Developing countries are most vulnerable as over 95% of disaster deaths occur there. Disaster management aims to coordinate an organization's response through strategic planning rather than direct control. It focuses on reducing risks and vulnerabilities to minimize the harmful impacts of disasters.
Disaster Management and Health
A disaster is a natural or man-made hazard that causes substantial damage and destruction. Disasters disproportionately impact developing countries due to greater vulnerabilities and risks. Disaster management aims to reduce the impacts of disasters through preparedness, mitigation and response. It involves coordinating response efforts at all levels to provide emergency aid and meet basic needs in disaster-stricken areas. Effective disaster management relies on thorough emergency planning and response coordination among different organizations.
Natural disasters
This document summarizes several types of natural disasters:
Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, causing shaking and vibration at the surface. While earthquakes rarely directly kill people, secondary events like building collapses and tsunamis can cause loss of life. Floods occur when an overflow of water submerges land, and tsunamis are huge waves caused by undersea earthquakes that can damage coastal areas. Drought is a prolonged period of unusually low rainfall that fails crops and reduces water availability. Tornadoes are violent rotating columns of air that touch both the ground and storm clouds.

1. Hydro-meterological Disasters
2. Geological Disasters
Climatic extremes
Climate Extreme (extreme weather or climate event) refers to the occurrence of a value of a weather or climate variable above (or below) a threshold value near the upper (or lower) ends of the range of observed values of the variable. Extreme weather and climate events, interacting with exposed and vulnerable human and natural systems, can lead to disasters.
Harman and kiran ghag
A natural disaster occurs when a natural hazard affects a vulnerable population, leading to losses. The effects depend on a population's resilience to resist the hazard. Disasters only occur when hazards interact with vulnerability. While hazards exist naturally, it is human involvement that transforms them into disasters. For example, the 1906 San Francisco earthquake was a disaster due to its effects on the city, while unpopulated areas experience only hazards. Natural disasters disrupt communities and economies through damage and health impacts. Common natural disasters include earthquakes, floods, landslides, volcanic eruptions, wildfires and storms.
Disasters management
Natural and human-caused disasters can cause widespread damage and loss of life. The document defines key terms related to disaster management including disaster, hazard, vulnerability, risk, and defines several types of disasters including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, floods, tropical cyclones, droughts, landslides, bushfires. For each type of disaster, the characteristics, potential effects, and general countermeasures are described. The goal of disaster management is to reduce risks and impacts of disasters through preparedness, mitigation and effective response.

Disasters (man made and natural disasters)
A disaster is defined as a sudden event that causes widespread human and material losses exceeding a community's ability to cope. Disasters can be natural, caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, cyclones, floods, droughts or tornadoes. They can also be man-made, such as chemical spills, nuclear accidents, acts of terrorism, or other industrial and transportation incidents. Preparing for disasters includes having detection systems, incident response plans, safety measures, hazard assessments, support systems, medical triage and evacuation routes. Both natural and man-made disasters can have severe negative effects including loss of life, property damage, health issues and environmental degradation.

2 Introduction To Tropical Cyclones
Tropical Low Pressure Systems are intense low pressure systems with closed circulation also known as hurricanes, typhoons or cyclones. They form over warm ocean waters and have diameters between 200-650km. They contain an eye that is calm at the center surrounded by an eyewall with the strongest winds and thunderstorms. For a disturbance to develop into a full storm, it needs warm ocean waters, atmospheric disturbances, and conditions that allow the transfer of heat away from the storm.

Tropical Storms 1
Tropical storms originate over warm ocean waters and are fueled by the release of heat from condensation. They typically occur during specific seasons in different regions of the world. Tropical storms can cause significant damage due to high winds and flooding rains, and understanding their formation and behavior is important for hazard planning and mitigation.
HYDROMETRIOLOGICAL HAZARDS.pptx
Hydrometeorological hazards refer to atmospheric, hydrological or oceanographic phenomena that can cause damage and loss of life. Specific hazards include typhoons, monsoons, floods. Typhoons bring storm surge, floods, winds. Monsoons cause seasonal heavy rains and drought. Knowing local hazards allows better preparation and evacuation, reducing damage. Hazard maps identify at-risk areas and inform emergency response. Being informed of risks and taking preventive action can protect lives and property from inevitable natural events.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptx
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvement
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

Hydro metrological hazards
- 2. What is hydro-metrological hazards? Natural processes or phenomena of atmospheric, hydrological or oceanographic nature that may cause the loss of life or injury, property damage, social and economic disruption or environmental degradation.
- 3. Types of Hydro-metrological hazards 1. FLOOD Floods are among the most frequent and costly natural disasters. Conditions that cause floods include heavy or steady rain for several hours or days that saturates the ground. Flash floods occur suddenly due to rapidly rising water along a stream or lowlying area.
- 4. 2. DROUGHT It is difficult to provide a precise and universally accepted definition of drought due to its varying characteristics and impacts across different regions of the world, such as rainfall patterns, human response and resilience, and diverse academic perspectives. Drought is a temporary aberration unlike aridity, which is a permanent feature of climate.
- 5. 3. CYCLONE Tropical Cyclone (TC), also known as „Cyclone‟ is the term used globally to cover tropical weather systems in which winds equal or exceed „gale force‟ (minimum of 34 knot, i.e., 62 kmph). These are intense low pressure areas of the earth atmosphere coupled system and are extreme weather events of the tropics.
