A natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of the Earth; examples include floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and other geologic processes. A natural disaster can cause loss of life or property damage, and typically leaves some economic damage in its wake, the severity of which depends on the affected population's resilience, or ability to recover and also on the infrastructure available

There are three reasons why Peru is a country vulnerable to natural disasters: the plates of Nazca and South America, the Mountain range of the Andes and the Circle of Fire of the Pacific.
