Distinguish between manmade and natural disaster by giving examples of various types of disasters in each category.

According to the cause of the event, disasters are classified as either natural or man-made.

Natural disasters can be defined as an event caused by natural forces that surpasses the coping ability of the community it affects, which is the extreme occurrence of hydrological, geological or meteorological events. Man-made disasters are equally devastating, but unlike natural disasters, it results directly from human activity.

To have enough impact to be classified as a natural disaster, an event needs to comply with the following:

• A considerable amount of energy supplied by natural forces 
• The energy must then be focused in the right environment 
• A concentration of assets or people within the focus of the event

When these factors combine, the magnitude of the effects determines its disastrous implications. 

Man-made disasters are so diverse in origin that, to be defined as a man-made disaster, it is merely be classified as:

• Large and far-reaching effects
• Serious damage caused
• It must be reported and the cause assessed

Causes of Natural Vs. Man-made disasters

Usually, a single disaster or hazard result in casualties and damage due to different contributing forces, as in the case of a natural disaster like a cyclone there are strong winds, water surges, rain and so on. Volcanoes on the other hand pose problems due to lava streams, fires, ash falling or release of harmful gases, among many others. 

On the other hand, a man-made disaster may be due to human error, negligent behavior, dysfunction of a human-engineered system or intentional instigation and/or attacks.
