Arson is an act of intentionally setting fire to property for malicious reasons. It is a criminal act and is not classified as a natural disaster. Natural disasters are events that occur due to natural processes of the Earth, such as tsunamis, lightning strikes, and other weather-related events. An electromagnetic pulse can be a natural event if it is caused by solar flares or a man-made event if it is the result of a nuclear explosion.However, arson is always the result of human activity and is not caused by natural processes1.

Hmm, I'd say a nuclear meltdown is pretty unnatural, if you ask me.

Definitely not a meteor strike. That's about as natural as it gets.

I think it might be something like a terrorist attack or a factory explosion, but I’m not completely confident in that answer.

I feel like anything caused by nature, like hurricanes or tornadoes, counts as a natural disaster, but I can't recall what the opposite would be.

I remember a practice question about disasters, and it mentioned that human-made events like cyberattacks aren't natural disasters.

I think natural disasters usually include things like earthquakes and floods, but I'm not sure about what would never be considered one.

Alright, let me think this through step-by-step. Natural disasters are things caused by nature, like weather events or geological phenomena. Anything caused by human interference or technology issues would likely not be considered natural. I think I've got a good strategy here.

Wait, I'm not sure. What about something like a power grid failure or a cyber attack? Those aren't exactly natural, but I don't know if they'd be considered "disasters" in this context. I'm a bit confused.

I've got an idea! Disasters caused by human activity, like chemical spills or nuclear accidents, those wouldn't be considered natural. I'm feeling pretty confident about this one.
