COMPARE AND CONTRAST
All these factors have severe damage both in the short term and long term for suffering countries. When an environmental effect is paired with an effect on humans, the result can be disastrous. For example, the wellbeing of those in strife is of utmost importance and so they need food and water to survive, however, since the tsunami has flooded water sources, the water is contaminated and so too the food. This causes difficulties for rescue teams as they now must expend their team sending food and water over rather than looking for those that are trapped.
The destruction of natural habitats is devastating on a nation's landmark: the extinction of animals and plants can be wiped out due to tsunamis and thus a great part of the nation's history, also, wiped out. Furthermore, it is not only land animals that are affected, but so is the marine life. The pollution of leaked chemicals in oceans is highly probably and thus poisons sea creatures: again, removing a part of a nation's history.
Economic impact is one of the more imperative effects on humans, the nation's Government has to occupy its time on the matter through a large surplus of money. The amount of money, however, depends on the strength of the tsunami, therefore the amount of money can reach millions and sometimes even billions.
Possible the greatest risk of tsunamis is the major loss of life, the Boxing Day tsunami rid 240,000 lives and the Japanese tsunami, 28,000. Despite nations' attempts at preventing tsunamis from penetrating their defenses, they get in regardless, resulting in mass death.
The aftermath of a tsunami does not only include debris and rubbish, but also imprints indelible horror and trauma inside pain-stricken victims. The psychological impact any given disaster has on a victim depends on the troubles they have gone through; if they have lost family members, they may as well take their own life due to depression. This is why after tsunamis and disasters in general, some patients are monitored for any psychological symptoms.
The wellbeing of humans also depends on if any major insect infestation outbreaks or viruses have spread. If a disease was to spread, it would cause demise and heartbreak among a nation as they are already recovering from mass destruction. It also stalls the strenuous efforts of rescue teams as they search for a cure.
A beneficial aspect of a disaster is that it unites many nations together. In times of distress, nations call upon one another to send support and so they can co-operate and try resolve matters together. This strengthens the bonds between nations and can even resolve past hatred.
All in all, the similarities between the effects of a tsunami on the environment and humans is little. Some effects 'work' together to produce even more disastrous outcomes, so we must prepare early and improve defences against natural disaster.
