Explanation

Volcanoes and cyclones arise purely from natural forces, unlike hazards people can trigger.

Volcanoes erupt from geological processes deep within the Earth with no human cause.

Cyclones form over warm oceans through natural atmospheric dynamics.

Forest fires often start from human carelessness besides natural lightning.

Floods are frequently worsened by dams, deforestation and poor drainage.

Purely natural hazards cannot be prevented, only prepared for.
