Natural Hazards

A natural hazard is a threat of a naturally occurring event that will have a negative effect on people or the environment. Many natural hazards are interrelated, e.g. earthquakes can cause tsunamis and drought can lead directly to famine. It is possible that some natural hazards are intertermporally correlated, as well. A concrete example of the division between a natural hazard and a natural disaster is that the 1906 San Francisco earthquake was a disaster, whereas earthquakes are a hazard.

how do you say natural hazards in french?
Q. how do you say this sentence in french? Many natural hazards happen in this country but many animals such as crocodiles, snakes and lizards still live there.
Asked by Hsuan~<3 - Sat Oct 24 20:48:51 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. A hazard is " un danger" in French, and since dangers exist rather than 'happen', your sentence should translate to: "Plusieurs dangers naturels existent dans ce pays mais plusieurs animaux, comme les crocodiles, les serpents et les lezards, y vivent encore."

Nova Science Pub Inc Dust Storm Identification Via Satellite Remote Sensing Natural Disaster Research Prediction And Mitigation : Dust storms are considered natural hazards which affect ecosystems for a short-time interval ranging from a few hours to a few days. Due to the significant impact of dust outbreaks on climate, human health and ecosystems, numerous studies have been conducted throughout the world with differing instrumentation and techniques focusing on the investigation about such events. Focusing mainly on the Sahara desert, this book provides a short review on the recent knowledge about the dust aerosol optical and physico-chemica l properties, the seasonal variability of dust outbreaks, the dust source regions, the main pathways towards Southern Europe, which is mostly influenced, and the main results of similar studies. The authors provide a new methodology to the scientific community for the dust transport monitoring using a combination of satellite data and back-trajectory analysis for the identification of coarse-mode aerosols, Sahara dust (SD) events and the analysis of the dust-transport mechanisms. As a conclusion, this book shows that the combination of remote-sensing measurements and back-trajectory analysis constitutes a powerful tool for the identification of SD events over Athens, and to a certain extent at other locations around the Mediterranean region.
