What are the most dangerous natural disasters the UK is facing?
It might not seem like it but the UK has a lot to worry about when it comes to natural disasters, but it does. Below are what I think are the most dangerous. At the top is Coastal Erosion. The UK has a history of struggles with coastal erosion, particularly along its southern and eastern shores. More and more settlements are placed along coastlines and this is especially worrisome because they risk losing their properties to unstable coastal cliffs. The UK does not have lengthy sandy beaches (arguably one of the best ways to combat coastal erosion) and instead loses a lot of their coast to the high and destructive ocean waves. With the rising of ocean levels due to climate change, we expect to see more trends like these to continue. Next, flooding! The UK experiences a lot more flooding than I anticipated but it also makes quite a bit of sense since they are surrounded by water on all boundaries as an island. The most recent flood in the UK was only a couple weeks ago on February 22
