Solution

Instructions:
  • Explain what manmade disasters are.
  • Mention any manmade two disasters.
Solution:
Manmade disasters are disasters occurring due to the activities of human beings.
Examples for manmade disasters are riots and forest fires.
Riots are a situation in which a large group of people behave in a violent and uncontrolled way. Police or army will have to step in to control the unruly crowd. ​​
  • ​A forest fire is an uncontrolled fire that burns in forests. They are not limited to a particular continent or environment.​​
  • Forest fires can smoulder for a long time—even an entire season—until conditions are right for them to grow. ​​
  • Forest fires involve dead or dry vegetation getting burnt. Parched grass or fallen leaves often fuel forest fires. ​​
  • Massive forest fires may start in hot and dry weather as a result of lightning or human carelessness. ​​
  • Forest fire extinguishes by itself or due to heavy rainfall.
