Mother Nature can act rather scary sometimes. Almost every day TV channels, radio and newspapers report on natural disasters striking different parts of the world. Scientists say that earthquakes, tornados, floods, droughts, tsunamis, landslides and hurricanes are happening more frequently nowadays. Global warming, pollution and growing industrialization lead to imbalance in our echo-system.  

A natural disaster can be defined as an uncontrollable extreme disruption which causes ecological and financial damage and victims of vulnerable population. Sometimes the events can be predicted by special meteorological warning systems and they often happen in the same geographical area because they are related to climate and physical characteristics of the region. For example, Florida is constantly suffering from tornadoes and hurricanes, and Japan – from earthquakes.

An earthquake happens when tectonic plates of the earth move and they make the area shake violently. According to the Richter scale the magnitude of earthquakes is measured from 1 to 10 points. The most powerful earthquake was recorded in 1960 in Chile, its magnitude was 9.5.

Volcanic eruptions occur when hot red magma erupts from the earth’s crust and flows from the top of the volcano. It also throws volcano ashes into the air which are harmful to inhale for human beings and animals.

A tsunami is a series of dangerous huge ocean waves, usually caused by underwater earthquakes. This natural disaster attacks the shore all of a sudden and often results in thousands of deaths. The height of the waves can reach 30 metres.

Flooding is another natural disaster. Floods happen when the water level in rivers and seas becomes too high. Sometimes flash floods can even wash away whole villages.

Свой вклад в наступление пустынь вносит и глобальное потепление. Как известно, каждые десять лет средняя температура воздуха на Земле повышается примерно на 1°С. А значит, испарение влаги увеличиваетНа моё мнение, Земля пустыней не станет.

Пустыни – это ползучая катастрофа, – считает профессор нью-йоркского университета Майкл Голдсмит. – В скором времени непригодными для жизни могут стать целые страны. Разрушение почв идет с каждым годом все быстрее, и виной тому, разумеется, человек: за всю историю цивилизации мы уничтожили около двух миллиардов гектаров земли!

А всё по чему? И речь не только о том, что вырубаются леса, иссушаются болота, в результате чего нарушается экологический баланс и сужаются площади плодородных почв. Даже сельское хозяйство мы ведем совершенно по-варварски. Еще в середине века в африканском сахеле — на землях, примыкающих к Сахаре, — поле обрабатывали два-три года, а потом забрасывали почти на двадцать лет, чтобы плодородие почвы восстановилось. Однако численность населения быстро росла, и земле не давали пустовать. Начался бег по замкнутому кругу: «не отдыхающая» почва истощалась, урожаи падали, крестьяне распахивали пастбищные земли – и через некоторое время они также превращались в пустыню. В результате, и людям, и скоту становилось нечего есть – и крестьяне, забросив хозяйства, переселялись в города.

Ученые отмечают, что в последние годы резко ускорилось таяние гималайских льдов. Из-за этого без пресной воды могут остаться многие районы Китая, Индии и Непала. Лишенные полива, поля там быстро превратятся в пустыню.

По этой же причине через полвека «всероссийская здравница» , которой стала в последнее время Турция, может превратиться в безжизненное К таким неутешительным выводам пришли ученые из местного Совета по изучению окружающей среды.
