Which one among the following is not an atmospheric natural disaster?
General KnowledgeGeography
- ADrought
- BHailstorm
- CFrost
- DAvalanche
Explanation
Drought, hailstorm and frost are atmospheric (meteorological) phenomena. An avalanche — a mass of snow sliding down a mountain slope — is a geomorphic/mass-movement hazard, not an atmospheric one, so it is the odd one out. Avalanches are studied under snow and mountain hazards rather than atmospheric science.
