Geohazards refer to natural or human-induced geological conditions and processes that pose risks to human life, property, and the environment. Understanding and mitigating these risks involves analyzing the Earth's processes, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and tsunamis, to predict and prepare for potential disasters.
A hazard is a potential source of harm or adverse effect on a person, community, property, or environment. Understanding hazards involves identifying, analyzing, and mitigating risks to prevent accidents and disasters.
Hazards are potential sources of harm or adverse effects on people, property, or the environment, and they can be natural, technological, or human-induced.
