An atmospheric hazard is an occurrence or alteration within the wind or aerosphere that occurs within the environment that can cause harm towards people or infastructure

This can be both natural and human influenced

An example of this can be tornadoes which is a large gust of wind that spirals, causing damage towards buildings and the environment.

A hydrological hazard is an occurrence or alteration within a source of water that can cause harm towards people or infrastructure

This can be both natural and human influenced

An example of this can be tsunamis which are large waves that can destroy strong materials within it's path.

A geomorphic hazard is an occurrence or alteration within the Earth's ground surface that can cause harm towards people or infrastructure

This can be both natural and human influenced

An example of this can be earthquakes which is movement along tectonic plates, collapsing large buildings

An ecological hazard is when chemicals alter the environment which can cause harm towards people or infrastructure

This can be both natural and human influenced

An example of this can be acid rain, this is when high levels of acidity are in the clouds and release toxic droplets of water that can dissolve materials
