Abstract

Nature balances itself through several natural changes. Natural calamities play a vital role in causing natural changes. The world as whole witnesses several types of natural calamities and natural disasters which not only disturbs Nature but also shakes the life and economy of the countries. Floods, earthquakes, droughts are the popular names of such disasters. The roots of all the natural disasters lie in Nature itself. However, no such disaster is without fatal results.
The history witnesses that whenever there is any natural calamity, there is the casualty to man and animals; it shakes and disturbs the economy, and creates the worst conditions in the various camps as refugees. As a result of the natural disasters, mass killing and disappearance of the people is witnessed; the situation abolishes the traces of nativity and human presence; and the things that come across are found unbearable.
The severity of the natural calamities is not hidden from any sensible person. The geographical and geological factors of such calamities and disasters are all approved ones. The severity is noticed most through the homeless refugees who have seen their near and dear ones dying in the calamities, and who find themselves all helpless while living away from their kinsmen in the camps and at other places.
The paper is a theoretical interpretation of the severity of natural calamities and natural disasters that disturb man’s mental peace and that disturb national economies across the world.
