Question

1. what do natural disasters and human - made disasters have in common?

they both affect people more than wildlife.
they both are caused unintentionally by accidents.
they both can be prevented using similar strategies.
they both result in great damage or loss of life.

Explanation:

Natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes, floods) and human - made disasters (e.g., industrial accidents, wars) are both events that lead to significant negative impacts.

• Option 1: There is no general rule that they affect people more than wildlife. Some natural disasters (e.g., a forest fire) may initially affect wildlife more, and some human - made disasters (e.g., an oil spill) can also have a major impact on marine wildlife.
• Option 2: Human - made disasters can be intentional (e.g., arson as a form of human - made disaster).
• Option 3: The prevention strategies are often very different. For example, preventing an earthquake (a natural disaster) is not really possible in the same way as preventing a factory explosion (a human - made disaster through better safety regulations).
• Option 4: By definition, both natural disasters (e.g., a hurricane destroying homes and killing people) and human - made disasters (e.g., a large - scale terrorist attack) result in great damage or loss of life.

Answer:

They both result in great damage or loss of life.
