<span>The contraction of the diaphragm causes an increase in the height of the thoracic cavity. Contraction of the intercostal muscles causes the diameter of the thoracic cavity to increase. The increased thoracic cavity volume brings a volume increase in intrapulmonary volume, which causes a drop in pressure relative to atmospheric pressure. Air rushes into lungs along this pressure gradient until intrapulmonary and atmospheric pressure are equal.</span>

Wild animal attack is which type of disaster
olchik [2.2K]

Wild animal attacks should qualify as biological disasters rather than geological disasters.

Disasters generally refer to accidents that happen rather suddenly and result in widespread damages or loss of lives

  • Biological disasters are disasters whose causes have biological origins such as plants, animals, humans, and microbes.
  • Geographical disasters are caused by natural geographical events such as landslides, cyclones, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, and so on.

Wild animals are biological organisms, hence, an attack from them would be a biological disaster.
