The increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters are primarily attributed to climate change. As Earth's temperatures rise, it disrupts atmospheric circulation patterns, leading to more intense storms, floods, and heat waves. Rising sea levels due to glacial melting and thermal expansion exacerbate coastal flooding events. Climate change also alters precipitation patterns, resulting in prolonged droughts in some regions and increased rainfall and flooding in others. Human activities, such as deforestation and urbanization, further contribute to environmental degradation, exacerbating the impacts of natural hazards.
