It seems to me that natural disasters take a pretty good toll each year.  Perhaps you need to read the newspaper more often or listen to the news.  It's really amazing the knowledge one can gain by doing these things on a regular basis.  You might be amazed at the number of wars that are in progress, at any given, time around this unfriendly earth of ours.  Yet, the earths population continues to grow.  During WWII, Russia alone lost over 20 million people, yet here we are 60 years later and their population is as robust as ever.  War might resolve population explosion over the short term, but it doesn't take human kind very long to pick up the slack.  The ecosystem on the other hand, does need some immediate TLC.  The Icelanders may have found just the solution to a big part of the problem.  It seems that Iceland has a very short term timetable to convert all of its vehicles to hydrogen power.  Now as I understand it, hydrogen is the mixture of nitrogen and water which causes combustion.  It supposedly is not much cheaper than oil, however it is cleaner. Much cleaner. The problems this could solve are unlimited.  Just think, we could tell the whole middle east to blow itself to hell and take it's filty oil with them.  Sorry, I digress.  In summary, perhaps it is best to let mother nature take over the population issues, frankly I enjoy being there to help correct the problem when mother nature goes too far.

I Googled   Iceland+investments   and many pages of info/sites popped up.  Give it a try and select the info you feel you need.\n   Good luck.

Water level will for a fact one day be a threat to the populations in certain areas but i highly doubt that it will occur anytime soon... maybe in a 100 years or more. I could be wrong though :(

Natural disaster...tornado, earthquake, etc.

there is no place on earth that there is no danger, in the north you got snow storms, temperate zones like cali and ten and others got either earthquakes or tonadoes. the topics like the caribbean got hurricanes and with hurricanes there is flooding, high speed winds. and lets not forget about volcanoes, tidal waves and the list goes on. no place on earth is safe i would say.

No, they can occur just about anywhere. They are most common in the seismically active areas, like tectonic lines, but they can also happen from other reason, like in the mountains if a piece of the rock would crumble and fall down, or if a meteor falls on earth, or if there is an underground cave or a river and it collapses... there are many reasons.

Yes.  Forest Fires.  Fire season will be upon us soon.  We also have earthquakes, avalanches, wind storms, hail storms, snow storms, floods, etc.

Usually there are warning signs that something is happening. Active volcanos such as Mt St Helens are continusly monitored for changes such as increase in earthquake activity, change in the shape of the volcano. Scientists can actually see changes to the shapre of hte volcano by GPS surveys. Like what is happening in the Pacific at teh moment (cant remember the name of the volcano just now) they know something is going to happen, but they cant place a time on it, so they have evacuated hte people. Most people are evacuated before hte volcano blows, but those that have ignored pleas do so at they're own risk. And yes as the dude above me pointed out, by means of a road.

It may gas off or have some activity,but the conditions that created it will probably not happen again.No one should be ramping up fear of the super volcanoes as there is not even a scintilla of enough earth heating to make them blow.

There may be no relationship, but usually the vice is versa.  That is fjords are created by faults and when these fjord faults suffer an earthquake vicious 'tidal waves' are often the result.  There is one fjord in Alaska where purportedly a 300 foot wave was created by a combination of tsunami and landslide.

Brittany, the NCDC (National Climatic Data Center) indicates  8211 different storm events since January 1st of 1995.  If by "natural disasters" you are specifically referring to "weather" disasters, that's the place to go for further information.  You can visit them (and search for further information) at the link below.  Good luck!

I cannot make sense out of your question, but if you are asking if these natural disasters were "acts of God," the answer is emphatically - NO!  He does not ever wish such things on people, nor would he do anything like these without prior warnings.  \n\nA good example to study is that of Noah.  Yes, that was a major "natural disaster," but the people had been warned again and again, and chose not to listen.  Read Chapters 6-9 of Genesis.  Also note what Jesus said at Matthew 24:37-39 - "Just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be.  For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away"

Your probably gonna be looking at droughts, and earthquakes.\n\n\nThese might help\nhttp://www.disastercenter.com/disaster/TOP100K.html\nhttp://www.ndmindia.nic.in/\n\nhope that helps

Tornadoes Would be second for me. In an F-5's path very little is left standing or alive if not underground. All other natural disasters even Earthquakes, Hurricanes and Wildfires don't even come close to %100 total destruction in its path, wake, or epicenter. An F-5 may not be a %100 but it is closest of any of the so far mentioned ones.\n\nBut Out of all Natural Disasters I think A supervolcano Eruption May Eclipse all Experienced Natural Disasters!

the question is vague..... u need to put a lil details so that we can answer according to wat u need.\notherwise the above answer is all about natural disasters.. floods, earthquakes, volcano erruption, n bla bla bla....
