The statement that is true of natural disasters is:
They affect different regions in different ways.
Natural disasters can have varying impacts based on regional factors such as geography, climate, population density, and preparedness.
The other statements are either misleading or incorrect. For example, while the potential for disasters can be defined by geologic, hydrologic, atmospheric, or biological events, this does not fully capture the essence of what natural disasters are. Additionally, their impacts can indeed be lessened by laws, infrastructure, and communication, and while many natural disasters occur in the Ring of Fire, not all do.
