Literature reviewI. Introduction - History of MegadisastersMegadisasters, by definition, are natural or man-made catastrophes of exceptional magnitude and/or causing unusually severe or unprecedented damage Since the beginning of time, megadisasters have shaped the planet. Even during the time of the dinosaurs, mega disasters caused the evolution of our world. Mega-disasters may even have contributed to the evolution of our species. While our existence may be the cause of their occurrence, not all of them have been helpful. Throughout history, truly tragic disasters have occurred that have claimed the lives of millions of people and destroyed our economy. To name a few in recent times, Hurricane Katrina, Mount St. Helens, Haiti earthquake, Gulf of Mexico oil spill, 1993 super storm, etc. Not all mega-disasters have caused death and destruction, but over time most have. Most of the causes of these disasters were the combination of weather, climate, chemicals and nature. For example, earthquakes are the cause of the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates (not all of them, but most). Earthquakes cause the ground to shake and buildings to collapse. As mentioned at the beginning of the introduction, they can also be caused by humans. Oil spills are man-made disasters. They pollute the environment or marine area and kill animals. These disasters are easier to resolve, but can still take some time. Different types of megadisasters will be mentioned and explained in detail in this report. The goal is to investigate and predict which is most likely to occur and end the world. As mentioned, mega-disasters may have contributed to our existence and the creation of our world. Anyway......half of the document......ntries (http://www.jucelinoluz.com/2013/08/08/mega-tsunami-caused-by-volcano-in-canary-islands/ ). According to Jucelino, “the death of people and destruction of property will be immense.” In the 1950s, Cumbre Vieja on the island of La Palma began to attract attention. Its western side collapsed and sank four meters beneath the ocean one year earlier (1949). Experts believe the land slabs are still slowly sliding into the sea. And that the next eruption should cause the entire western side of the mountain to collapse. From 1 to 25 November 2013, with a maximum delay of five years; this should happen. These types of disasters are rare, but similar disasters occur every 12-13 thousand years. And who knows, La Palma could collapse much sooner, depending on the conditions. However, when that happens, let us all pray that we will be ready.
