Extreme Events 3
Extreme Events 3 : An extreme event in the context of the natural world is an act of nature, "such as a lightning stroke or a flood [that] may be a productive resource and a hazard at the same time. Lightning may kill an animal but also start a fire essential to the preservation of a forest ecosystem. A flood may destroy a farmstead while fertilizing the fields" (Burton et al. 1993, 34)
