Human made disaster can be intentional or unintentional. It results in huge loss of life and property. If further affects a person's mental, physical and social well-being. Human made disasters are usually the result of things going wrong in our complex technological society.These disaters may be planned like war between two countaries which results in great damage of lives and also damage to the environment.
Natural disaster is an unlike activity its occurance is unpredicted and no one can avoid it.It makes people panic and resulting in great damage and loss of lives.it is due to natural force.Examples of some recent disasters are tsunami in india ocean in 2004,Earth quake in pakistan in 2005, haiti earth quake in 2010 etc Both natural and man made disaster have environmental,social and economical consequencies.
Resources that we find in nature and are used without much modification are called Natural Resources. Resources created by human beings are called Manmade Resources.
2. The Example of Natural Resources are Air, Water, Soil, Sunlight, Minerals, Flora & Fauna, etc. Examples of Manmade Resources are Buildings, Roads, etc.
3. All the natural resources are free gifts of nature and can be used directly. Technology is also a human made resource.
Thanku..
One can think of disasters as events that are sudden, unplanned, and cause enormous damage to property and life. Based on the causal factors, disasters can be divided into two categories: natural disasters and man-made disasters.
As the name suggests, natural disasters are caused by natural forces and thus are out of human control. Some examples of natural disasters are earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and so on. Each of these can potentially cause a significant amount of damage to property, the physical environment, and life.
Man-made disasters are within human control and are typically caused due to carelessness and/or improper handling of dangerous equipment. Some examples of man-made disasters include train or airplane accidents, mine accidents, toxic material spills, bridge collapse, oil spills, and so on.
Proper training can help minimize man-made disasters, while it will have no effect on natural disasters.
Hope this helps.
