In the earlies 1998, nobody hoped that at 1:20 pm occurred. The land started to move so strong from one side to another quickly and in that moment, it was difficult to find what to do. But no all finished there, sadly, a replic with a similar magnitude shake again and took out of place at the majority of the people, just 4 hours after.
Armenia city was considered totally destroyed after that and it would be necessary to rebuild again from zero. An incredible quantity of families stayed without one o more relatives, without a place where live and expose to the criminal actions and diseases. The next few days were a complete chaos and the afraid was present in all the survivors.
As a result of this event, this city began to appear in the eye of the national and international institutions and they started to help. The citizen became to work, the authorities established the orden again and the recovery came. Slowly people were finding reasons to keep going and fight day by day and today we can say that Armenia is one of the best places to live in Colombia.
The 1960 Valdivia mega earthquake, also known as the great earthquake in Chile ( this country is believed by scientists and experts to be a country with the highest seismic activity in the world), was an earthquake that occurred at 3:11 p.m. local time on Sunday, May 22, 1960. Its epicenter was located in the vicinity of Traiguén, Malleco province, and whose magnitude was established between 9.3 and 9.5 MW.
It is known to have been the largest and most powerful in recorded history, the mega earthquake shook 1,000 kilometers of land and sea. In addition, this produced a series of tsunamis that spread throughout the Pacific Ocean and whose effects were felt as far afield as Japan, the Philippines and Hawaii, killing more than 230 people. There were recorded waves up to two meters in Japan, 22 hours after the earthquake in Chile.
In the same way, it caused the eruption of the Puyehue volcano, which began to show signs of instability since the earthquake occurred due to agitation of the magma chamber, causing the rise of magma to the surface.
Sadly, this natural disaster is estimated to have taken the lives of between 16,556 and 20,007 people and left more than 2 million victims.
If we consider space calamities as natural disasters there is couple of scary ones, a big enough meteorite can wipe almost all life on the earth, the sun will eventually will engulf the earth and destroy everything on it, a cosmic ray of energy from an exploding can struck the earth and kill us all or simply we can get trapped in a black hole without hope for escape. It is hopeless to think about how to avoid this situations but at least they are extremely rare (except the sun one, that will happen regardless)
The most catastrophic natural disaster Earth could face is a large asteroid or comet impact. Such an event would trigger a devastating impact winter as colossal amounts of dust and debris are hurled into the atmosphere, blocking sunlight for an extended period. This would lead to widespread crop failure, global ecosystem collapse, and a rapid decline in biodiversity, potentially causing a mass extinction event similar to the one that wiped out the dinosaurs.
In my opinion, the worst natural disaster that Earth could face is a meteorite impact. Unlike hurricanes, earthquakes, or volcanic eruptions, a meteorite hitting Earth would cause catastrophic damage on a global scale. Meteorites are large space rocks that can travel very fast and hit the planet with an enormous amount of energy. When a big meteorite hits, it can create huge explosions, destroy entire cities, and cause massive fires. One reason a meteorite impact is so dangerous is that it can affect the whole planet, not just a small region. For example, it could throw so much dust and debris into the atmosphere that sunlight would be blocked for months or even years. This would lead to a drop in temperatures worldwide, harming plants, animals, and humans by disrupting food chains and farming. Additionally, unlike other natural disasters, we have very little control over stopping a meteorite from hitting Earth. While we can prepare for hurricanes or earthquakes to some extent, a sudden meteorite impact would be almost impossible to avoid. Because of its global effects and the difficulty in preventing it, I believe a meteorite impact would be the worst natural disaster for our planet.
The worst natural disaster Earth could face is a supervolcano eruption because it could affect the entire planet, not just the area around it. When a supervolcano erupts, it releases huge amounts of ash and gas into the sky, blocking sunlight for months or even years. This would cause temperatures to drop, leading to what’s called a “volcanic winter.” With less sunlight and colder weather, crops would fail around the world, causing massive food shortages and starvation. Millions of people could die, and life as we know it could change completely. Even though it’s rare, a supervolcano eruption has the power to disrupt the whole world, making it one of the most dangerous natural disasters possible.
The 1931 China floods were one of the worst natural disasters of the 20th century. They occurred between June and November 1931, and it's estimated that between 145,000 and 4 million people lost their lives. The floods were caused by a combination of factors, like poor river management, extreme cyclonic activity etc
For me, the greatest natural disaster the earth has ever experienced was the asteroid impact. 66 million years ago, an asteroid about 10 to 12 kilometers in diameter slammed into the earth. The impact released an enormous amount of heat, causing global fires, dust, gases and particles were thrown into the atmosphere, and the sky darkened for months or years, blocking the sunlight and causing a “global winter”: temperatures dropped and plants stopped growing. About 75% of the planet's species disappeared, including all flightless dinosaurs. Fact: The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was so powerful that the rock itself was instantly vaporized.
Earthquake transformation.
