Yoo Cheol-sang: Understanding Natural Disasters

Natural disasters are a great threat to our lives and provide opportunities for us. We can look at human history as a process of dealing with natural disasters, and we can see that in successful cases, we have found greater opportunities for prosperity. Besides the traditional major natural disasters, hurricanes and tsunamis are also considered important, and the effects of global warming have been making climate change critical recently. It may be impossible to include environmental pollution in natural disasters, but it is definitely the biggest disaster facing humanity. A fundamental understanding of water pollution, air pollution, soil pollution, and many other kinds of environmental pollution is at a critical point. The book is dealing with seven total disasters. We've based our familiar floods and droughts on volcanoes and earthquakes, although not uncommon in our country. We added global warming, meteorite collisions, environmental disasters. Although the strict view is that global warming and environmental disasters are not natural disasters, they are included in the importance of the subject. Natural disasters are themselves a fun subject, so-called disaster films and environmental films have been created. It's not hard to find a movie that is a natural disaster except for drought. These disaster films are based on fairly accurate scientific knowledge, and they are also a bit of a bit more profound and impressive than the content they're dealing with. This is why there are so many references to movies in the text.
