A disaster is a serious problem occurring over a short or long period of time that causes widespread human, material, economic or environmental loss which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources. A natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of the Earth. Typhoon and Earthquake is two of their examples.
An earthquake is the shaking of the surface of the Earth resulting from a sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves. Earthquake environmental effects are the effects caused by an earthquake, including surface faulting, tsunamis, soil liquefactions, ground resonance, landslides and ground failure, either directly linked to the earthquake source or provoked by the ground shaking. Typhoon on the other hand is a mature tropical cyclone that develops between 180° and 100°E in the Northern Hemisphere. This region is referred to as the Northwestern Pacific Basin, and is the most active tropical cyclone basin on Earth, accounting for almost one-third of the world's annual tropical cyclones. It is a giant, rotating storm that brings wind, rain and destruction. Hurricanes and typhoons are both kinds of tropical cyclones. One thing that makes typhoons like hurricanes—aside from intense weather—is that we give them names. People can be killed, injured, or lost during typhoons. Flooding can cause people to drown, houses to be completely destroyed, property to be swept away, and farms to lose all of their crops to the winds and relentless rains. Mudslides and power outages are common.The after-effects of cyclones can cause widespread chaos as people try and rebuild their lives. Standing water can lead to disease, electrical and water services can be interrupted, and the costs can spiral out of control. These tropical storms have impacted humans and other animals throughout history.
Both Typhoon and Earthquake give a disastrous impact to both physical, economical, and socioeconomical. In a disaster, like Typhoon and Earthquake, you face the danger of death or physical injury. You may also lose your home, possessions, and community. Such stressors place you at risk for emotional and physical health problems. Stress reactions after a disaster look very much like the common reactions seen after any type of trauma.
