\nMatching the natural disasters with their categories:
\nA. Blizzards are severe snowstorms characterized by strong winds, which are atmospheric phenomena. Thus, Blizzards (A) match with Atmospheric (2).
\nB. Soil erosion is the denudation of the upper layer of soil, a process occurring on the Earth’s surface, hence a terrestrial phenomenon. Thus, Soil erosion (B) matches with Terrestrial (1).
\nC. Tsunami is a series of giant waves caused by large-scale disturbances, most commonly underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. As it is a phenomenon related to water bodies, it is categorized as aquatic. Thus, Tsunami (C) matches with Aquatic (4).
\nD. Locusts are migratory insects that form swarms and can cause massive damage to crops. This involves biological organisms causing a disaster, hence a biological phenomenon. Thus, Locusts (D) match with Biological (3).
\nThe correct matching is A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3, which corresponds to option C.
\n<\/section>\n
\nNatural disasters can be broadly categorized based on their origin, such as atmospheric, terrestrial, aquatic, and biological.
\n<\/section>\n
\nOther examples include: Atmospheric (cyclones, droughts, heat waves), Terrestrial (earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions), Aquatic (floods, storms, sea-level rise), Biological (epidemics, pest infestations). Some disasters can overlap categories or have cascading effects across categories.
