What can turn a natural hazard into a natural disaster?

A hazard is a condition that has the potential to cause harm.

A natural hazard is a potentially harmful situation, where a person places himself in a naturally unsafe zone.

A natural disaster is a large scale destruction of life and properties by the forces of nature.

A natural hazard can become a natural disaster in some cases where the natural harmful situation a person places himself in, is acted upon by the forces of nature on a large scale.

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day
