The world's largest natural disaster
Natural disasters can not be separated from human greed and selfishness are not keeping their environment. (Eg floods and landslides), but natural disasters can also be a consequence of natural hazards (eg volcanic eruptions, earthquakes) which moves from potential to active phase, and as a result affects human activities. In some cases these disasters have caused millions of deaths.
List of cases of natural disasters of the number of victims who died:
A. Yellow River Flood - 1931, China [died: 1000000-4000000].
The 1931 flooding of the Yellow River (Huang He flood) is the largest natural disaster ever recorded with most of the casualties died of the twentieth century. Estimated number of people killed in the 1931 flood ranged from 1 to 4 million people. Deaths caused by flooding is included victims of drowning, disease, hunger, and kekeringan.Sungai is often called "China's sorrow" because millions of people have been killed by floods
2. Yellow River Flood - 1887, China [died: 900000-2000000]
Yellow River (Huang he) in China is prone to flooding, due to broad expanse of largely flat land around it. 1887 Yellow River flood and destroy this area, between 900000-2000000 people died. This is one of the most natural disasters ever recorded casualties.
In 1887, the seabed rises, along with heavy rain, causing flooding besar.Berkat lowlands near the area, flooding spread quickly throughout Northern China, which includes estimates of 50 000 square miles, swamping agricultural settlements and commercial centers. After the flood, two million people lost homes.
3.Badai Bhola cyclone - 1970, Bangladesh [died: 500000-1000000]
Bhola cyclone or cyclones are called hurricanes that struck East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) on 12 November, 1970. That is a cyclonic storm with the most deaths ever occurred, and one of the Deadliest natural disaster in modern times. Up to 500,000 people lost their lives in storms, especially storms caused flooding that hit much lower than the Ganges Delta islands. Pakistan government has been criticized for the handling of great relief operations following the storm, both by local political leaders in East Pakistan and the international media.
storm intensified into a severe cyclonic storm on 11 November, and began to turn to the northeast as it nears the head of the bay. A clear eye formed in the storm, and had reached its peak later today with sustained winds of 185 km / h (115 mph). Picture below is the impact of storm
4. Shaanxi Earthquake - 1556, China [died: 830 000]
in 1556 Shaanxi earthquake or Hua County earthquake was the largest earthquake ever recorded casualties, killed around 830,000 people. This happened on the morning of January 23, 1556 in Shaanxi, China. More than 97 countries are affected. 520 mile wide area was destroyed and in some countries, sixty percent of the population killed. Most residents in the area who live in yaodong, caves in the cliffs, many of which collapsed during the disaster, with loss of life.
based on geological data, the magnitude of the earthquake range from 8 scala righter.merupakan the most deadly earthquakes and natural disasters Deadliest fifth in history, there have been earthquakes with higher magnitudes. Aftershocks continue to occur several times a month for half a year.
5. India-cyclone in 1839, India [died: 300,000 +]
In 1839, huge tidal waves caused by cyclones, dozens of ports in the city of Coringa is not entirely rebuilt; 20 000 ships in the bay were destroyed and 300,000 people died. This is not the first major catastrophe occurs in Coringa: 1789 in three waves caused by the cyclone that devastated the port city at the mouth of the Ganges river. Most ships are sunk and estimated 20,000 people were drowned.
6.Banjir Kaifeng - 1642, China [died: 300000]
Kaifeng, a city in eastern Henan province, People's Republic of China, located along the south of the Yellow River, was flooded in 1642 by Sun troops with water from the Yellow River to prevent the peasant rebel Li Zicheng from. Approximately half of the 600,000 residents of Kaifeng were killed by floods and famine and pestilence, making it one of the biggest causes of death in history.Flooding has become a major natural disaster because of the role of Huang he river.
7. Tangshan Earthquake - 1976, China [died: 242 000]
Tangshan earthquake is one of the largest earthquakes in modern times, in the event of death. From the epicenter of the earthquake was near Tangshan in Hebei, China, an industrial city with approximately one million residents. Earthquakes in the morning, at 03:42:53.8 local time (1976 July 27 19:42:53.8 UTC), and lasts for about 15 seconds. The Chinese government recorded earthquake strength of about 7.8 on the Richter scale, although some sources list mencatat8, 2. It was the first earthquake in recent history.
8. Banqiao Dam failure - 1975, China [died: 231 000]
Bang1iao dam designed to withstand flooding (306 mm (12 inches) of rainfall per day). In August 1975, there was a flood, pouring more than a year of rainfall in 24 hours, weather forecasts failed to predict. Sluice gate is not able to handle the overflow of water, partly due to obstruction of sedimentation. As a result of obstruction, 64 dams failed.
When the dam finally burst, it caused a big wave, 10 kilometers (6 miles) wide, 3-7 meters (9-23 feet) high, rushed down into the plains below at nearly 50 kilometers per hour (31 mph) . nearly dozens of area 55 kilometers long, 15 kilometers wide, is made as large as 12,000 km ² lake (4,600 square miles). Evacuation is not yet fully delivered due to bad weather conditions and communication
9. Indian Ocean earthquake - 2004, Indian Ocean [died: 230 000]
2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, known by the scientific community as the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake, was under the earthquake that occurred at 00:58:53 UTC (07:58:53 local time) December 26, 2004, with the epicenter in the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia.The earthquake triggered a series of tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses that border the Indian Ocean, killing large numbers of people and inundating coastal communities.
The magnitude of the earthquake was originally recorded as 9.0, but has increased to 9.1 and 9.3. At this level, it is the second largest earthquake ever recorded on a seismograph. large enough to cause the entire world community, vibrate as much as half an inch, or more than one centimeter. This earthquake also resulted in a tsunami in Aceh.
10. Aleppo earthquake - 1138, Syria [died: 230 000]
Aleppo is located along the northern Dead Sea, which is a plate boundary separating the Arabian plate from the african plate. This earthquake is the first of the two consequences of the earthquake in the region: October 1138 until June 1139 and the more severe of a series of September 1156 until May 1159.
The area most affected is the Harim. Sources indicate that the falling castle and the church has been destroyed. Fort of Atharib, then occupied by Muslims, has been destroyed. The fortress also collapsed, killing 600 of the palace guards, though the governor and some people survived, and fled to Mosul.
