While both nature and mankind have destructive potential, natural disasters generally have greater potential due to their massive scale and forces. Earthquakes release seismic energy that can level cities, tornadoes form powerful rotating columns of wind, hurricanes develop as intense tropical storms, tsunamis are massive waves caused by geological disturbances, and droughts or nuclear bombs unleashed by mankind represent localized but still significant threats. Overall, the document suggests that nature's destructive forces such as earthquakes, tornadoes, and hurricanes have greater potential due to their immense scale and power compared to threats from mankind.

1. Which has the Greater
Destructive potential
Mankind or Nature

6. Earth quake
An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the result of a
sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that createsseismic waves.
The seismicity, seismism or seismicactivity of an area refers to the
frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time.

7. tornado
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the earth and
a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud. They are often referred to
as twistersor cyclones,[1] although the word cyclone is used in meteorology, in a wider sense, to name any
closed low pressure circulation. Tornadoes come in many shapes and sizes, but they are typically in the
form of a visible condensation funnel, whose narrow end touches the earth and is often encircled by a
cloud of debris and dust. Most tornadoes have wind speeds less than 110 miles per hour (177 km/h),

8. Hurricanes
A hurricane is a type of tropil cyclone
or severe tropic lstorm that forms in the
southern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean
Sea, Gulfof Mexico,and inthe eastern
Pacific Ocean.

9. A tsunami , lit. "harbor wave";[1] English pronunciation: /suːˈnɑːmi/ or/tsuːˈnɑːmi/[2]) , also
known as a seismicseawave or, inaccurately, as a tidalwave, is a series of water waves caused by the
displacement of a large volume of a body of water, generally an ocean or a large
lake. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations of
underwater nuclear devices), landslides, glacier calvings,meteorite impacts and other disturbances
above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami.[3]
