Since ancient times, people have been punished for destroying nature. Please choose an example.
North American Kuroshio
1934 in the early morning of may 30, a black storm unprecedented in human history occurred in the grassland area of the western United States. The storm blew for three days and nights, forming a huge black storm belt with a length of 2400 kilometers from east to west, a width of 1440 kilometers from north to south and a height of 3400 meters. The stream was cut off where the storm passed.
This is nature's historic punishment for human civilization. As developers continue to reclaim land resources and cut down forests, soil wind erosion is serious, and continuous drought has aggravated the phenomenon of land desertification. Under the action of high-altitude airflow, dust particles and sand grains are rolled up, and thick dust rises into the sky, forming a huge gray-black storm belt. The New York Times published a special report on the front page of that day.
The attack of the Black Storm had a serious impact on the agricultural and animal husbandry production in the United States, which caused the drought-stricken wheat to wither and die in a large area, which caused the fluctuation of the American grain market at that time and impacted the economic development. At the same time, the black storm plundered all the way, scraped off the fertile soil surface, exposed the barren sandy soil layer, changed the soil structure in the disaster-stricken areas, and seriously restricted the future development of agricultural production in the disaster-stricken areas.
After the Black Storm in North America, the former Soviet Union did not learn from the lessons of the United States, and history repeated itself twice. 1960 In March and April, the newly reclaimed areas in the former Soviet Union were once again eroded by the black storm, and all the farms that had been operating for many years were destroyed in a few days. Nature's revenge on mankind is merciless. Three years later, there was another storm in these newly reclaimed areas, and the impact of this storm was wider. Kazakhstan new
Peruvian avalanche
Peru is located in the west of South America, with an endless coastline of more than 3,000 kilometers. It is also a mountainous country, and the mountainous area accounts for half of the total area of the country. The famous Vascalan Peak in the Andes has a steep slope. The mountains are covered with snow all year round, and "white death" often comes here. May 3 1, 0970.
May 3 1, 1970 at 20: 30, Mount Vascalan, Andes, Peru.
Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound in the distance. Then the earth lost control and shook violently like a ship in the waves. Then, there was a sudden noise in the distance. It was deafening and awakened people from their deep sleep. Those who are reading, playing and working at night are stunned by the sudden noise. People don't know what happened, and the house is rickety.
Those who haven't fled the house are all crushed in the collapsed rubble. It was cold and dark outside, and no one could see anyone except the rumbling crash. Suddenly, another thunderous noise came from far and near, from the direction of Vaskalan Mountain. After a while, the landslide cracked, snowflakes fluttered and strong winds came.
It turned out that a large-scale avalanche triggered by the earthquake broke out.
The earthquake shattered, loosened and shattered the rocks on the top of the mountain, and the earthquake wave shattered the snow and ice on the mountain. In an instant, snow, ice and gravel poured down the cliff, almost falling as high as 900 meters at the speed of free fall.
In Yungayi, which was just hit by the earthquake, people were in shock and were swept away by Aurorus. Most people were crushed to death under the snow and ice, and many people suffocated in fast-moving Aurorus.
This is by far the biggest and most tragic avalanche disaster in the world.
Extraordinary floods in Bangladesh
1987 In July, Bangladesh experienced the biggest flood in history. Days of heavy rain and strong winds raged. This sudden natural disaster made the unprepared residents feel at a loss. In just two months, 47 of 64 counties in Bangladesh were hit by floods and heavy rains, resulting in more than 2,000 deaths, 25,000 livestock drowned and more than 2 million tons of grain destroyed.
Bangladesh is located in the north of the Bay of Bengal and belongs to the southeast of the Ganges Plain. There are East Kochi Mountains in the west, Arakan Mountains in the east and Himalayas in the north. There are 230 rivers in China, and the annual floods of rivers cause great losses to Bangladesh. In addition, it is located in the monsoon region, and the southwest monsoon blowing from the Indian Ocean rushes to the low pressure region with warm and saturated water vapor. It is blocked by the mountain, and it will rain soon. This makes it impossible for Bangladesh, which is flat and low-lying, to escape the flood.
The flood has aggravated people's poverty, and the United Nations has launched two food supply plans. It will cost 20 million dollars a year to implement only one plan.
Such a huge loss has not attracted the attention of the government. Nature has its irresistible force, but through effective preventive measures, its harm can be minimized. 1In September 1987, Bangladeshi Minister of Irrigation, Water Conservancy Development and Flood Control anis Islam Mahmud said afterwards, "If we, Indian and Nepalese can effectively use the water resources in this area, that is, increase the river flow in winter, and if we reach an agreement on these issues of flood control in rainy season, we can reduce the severity of the floods that occurred here in July and August." If his remarks had been made earlier, tens of millions of people would not have been homeless.
The flood not only brought poverty and hunger to people, but also bred a large number of bacteria. Various diseases were prevalent in the disaster area, about 800,000 people were infected with dysentery, and nearly 100 people died. This has undoubtedly made the life of the Bangladeshi people worse. The disaster is serious, and how to alleviate the crisis in this poor country in South Asia has become a major problem for the Bangladeshi government to solve, attracting the attention of the whole world.
