Nature also gets angry: The dryness of a drought, the strength of an earthquake, flood or storm, the lava expelled from a volcanic eruption? All these natural risks can annihilate entire villages, burn forests, leave a town without water or carry away whole bridges and buildings. However, nature alone is not responsible for these catastrophes. Humans are also responsible, because we built in dangerous zones and consume natural resources without any restrictions. We also increase the destructive capacity of natural risks. We must be aware of the dangers of nature in order to prevent its catastrophic consequences. |
