Cyclones and tsunamis are natural disasters that can have devastating effects such as strong winds, heavy rains, floods, and destruction. Cyclones are violent storms with high-speed winds rotating around a calm center of low pressure, while tsunamis are seismic sea waves caused by earthquakes or und

Earthquakes are sudden shaking movements of the Earth's surface caused by various factors like tectonic plate movements, volcanic eruptions, mining, and construction. They result in ground shaking, rupture, tsunamis, and landslides, with intensity influenced by factors such as distance from the epic
