When it comes to defining the difference of a hazard, a disaster, and a catastrophe, it is very beneficial to know that a hazard (no matter big or small) is able to cause some sort of harm. A disaster can occur unexpectedly and can have much damage on a specific area. A catastrophe is a disaster that nobody is able to handle; it creates damage that could take months or years to fix around an affected area.
The country I have chosen is South Korea. In that area, they are at risk for the following:
- Typhoons
- Landslides
- Tsunamis
- Floods
A scientist that I identify with would be Marie Curie. A quote that I admire by her would be "Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less."
Great first post! Looking forward to learning more about your country's hazards.
