In this episode, we’ll categorise natural hazards based on their origins. We’ll differentiate between geological hazards, which stem from Earth’s processes like earthquakes and volcanoes, and meteorological hazards, defined as weather-related events. Examples such as heatwaves, bushfires, and extreme weather driven by climate change will illustrate meteorological events. This classification provides a simple way to distinguish between Earth-based and weather-based calamities.
