What are the major natural disasters in the world in recent years?

1.Hurricane Katrina hit the coasts of Louisiana and Mississippi in the United States.

Type of disaster: Hurricane.

On 23 August 2005, the United States Hurricane Center monitored the formation of a low tropical pressure No. 12 over the seas southeast of the Bahamas. On the morning of August 24, this pressure was strengthened into a tropical storm, which was named "Katrina", and as the cyclone continued to strengthen, on August 25, Katrina evolved into a hurricane, becoming the fourth hurricane of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. At 6:30 p.m. that night, Katrina made landfall in Haranda Beach, Florida, and swept across its southern region, after which it entered the Gulf of Mexico, where it quickly intensified into a Category 5 hurricane and rushed toward the United States at 257 kilometers per hour.

2.South Asia University**.

Location: South Asia.

Disaster Type: **.

Magnitude: Magnitude.

Since the end of 2004, the Indian Ocean has been hit by a magnitude 9**, **experts**, the geological activity of South Asian strata has become more active due to the influence of strong earthquakes, and large-scale ** will occur in South Asia in the short term. Sure enough, at 8:50:36 on October 8, 2005, there was a large-scale ** in the Kashmir region controlled by Pakistan, with an epicenter depth of 10 kilometers.

3.Iowa floods.

Disaster Type: Flood disaster.

Location: Mississippi Coast, USA.

Since June 2008, the United States has been raining for six consecutive weeks, and the water level of the Mississippi River has begun to rise sharply. Rising floodwaters overflowed homes, farms and roads along the way. After learning of the flood situation, a hospital in Iowa evacuated 176 patients to other regional hospitals from the night of the 12th to the morning of the 13th.

On the 13th, the water level of the Cedar River, a tributary of the Mississippi River, peaked in the evening, about a meter, the highest in 157 years, making it the hardest flooded place in Iowa. Floodwaters overflowed the levees and poured into the city of Cedar Rapids, flooding at least 438 homes. In addition, more than 3,000 households left their homes to seek refuge on higher ground.

Factories and cars are submerged in a sea of water.

Fukushima**, Wenchuan**.

In recent years, what natural disasters have my country encountered? Snow disaster in the south. Strong winds in Turpan, Xinjiang.

Floods in Heilongjiang. Drought. In 2010, Yunnan was hit by a once-in-a-century provincial drought, which was rare in the history of Yunnan Province in terms of its scope, duration, depth and loss.

Most of Yunnan, western Guizhou, and northwestern Guangxi have reached the level of extreme drought, and Chuxiong City is particularly severe, with more than 200,000 rural people suffering from water shortages.

Consequences of natural disasters

In 2008, Wenchuan ** caused natural disasters with serious consequences. In the face of natural disasters, human beings can only remedy, not avoid and **.

In the face of major natural disasters, human science is powerless, and human beings can only remedy it. In 2008, in Wenchuan, Sichuan**, the ground collapsed, the mountain collapsed, and a dammed lake was formed. Buildings collapsed, killing and wounding countless people.

All traffic on the ground is impassable. Only a helicopter can be rescued.

In the face of natural disasters, just as doctors are in the face of illness, and medicine is developing, they cannot bear the life, old age, sickness and death of people.

In January this year, heavy snowfall in Beijing, ** in various regions since February, and a landslide on the Keelung section of the highway in Taiwan Province two months ago, to traffic disruptions...I heard that it was still snowing in a certain area in June, and it was cold...There are three possible occurrences, first: crustal movement second: volcanic eruptions third:

Artificially **induced**....I don't know anything else...But a lot has happened this year....
