What are the deadliest natural disasters in the world?

Ten of the deadliest natural disasters in the world in recorded history is as follows:

RANK Event site 1 1931 Yellow River Flood China 1 000 000–3 700 000 2 1887 Yellow River Flood China 900 000-2 000 000 3 1970 BHOLA CYCLONE 4 1556 Shaanxi Earthquake China 830 000 5 1839 India Cyclone India 300,000+ 6 1642 KAIFENG FLOOD China 300 000 7 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake/Tsunami 8 1976 Tangshan Earthquakes China 242 000 9 1975 BANQIAO DAMAGE FAILURE China 231,000 10 1138 ALEPPO EARTHQUAKE

Due to the low level of the population in prehistoric times, it is unlikely that natural disasters then surpassed modern natural disasters on the victims of death, although the explosion Mt. Toba 70,000 to 75,000 years ago in modern Indonesia can be one candidate.

of the ten most faint natural disasters, four are floods, four earthquakes and two cyclones. In fact, one of the floods (failure of the 1975 Banqiao dam) was the failure of the dam rather than natural disasters and one of the earthquakes (earthquake in the Indian Ocean 2004) achieved its destruction primarily through the large tsunami created by the coast of Thailand in Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka.

The term "natural disaster" concerns a sudden event andIt does not include pandemic or famine that may have a similar or much higher number of victims. Some of the smallest pandemieinclude Smallpox, WHICH KILLED OVER 300 Million People in the 20th Century Alone, The Bubonic Plague, WHICH ALSO KILled Over 300 Million, Malaria, Which Has Killled 80 - 250 Million, Tuberculosis, Killing 40 - 100 Million, The Spanish Flu Million in Just 18 MONTHS, And AIDS, WHICH HAS KILLED OVER 25 Million. The largest famine is the victim of similar AIDS, with the greatest claim of 10 - 40 million lives.

There is a potential for a natural disaster even more fatal than any we have experienced so far. The possibilities include the great impact of asteroids, which could kill over a billion people, or the possibility of plague genetically construct optimal lethality and the ability to spread, which could kill a similar number. Given the existence of highly isolated communities on Earth, it is unlikely that such a virus could kill everyone, even if this option should notand be excluded.
