The correct answer to this question is China. Out of all the countries in the world, China has been the most effected by natural disasters. They have experienced so many different natural disasters including floods, typhoons, and earthquakes. Out of all the countries, China is the most prone to experience them, due to their geographical location.

Another reason for them is their climate and how their land is setup. Other countries who also face more natural disasters than the rest include the United States and India. Countries that are least likely to experience natural disasters are Qatar, Bahrain, and UAE.

The country holds the top spot for most occurring natural disasters in the United States. There are a plethora of natural disasters that have happened in this country over the years. One of the more recent hurricanes, named Sandy, halted a significant section of the United States for two or three days.

China is the country that has been affected the most by different natural disasters. It has experienced typhoons, floods, and so many other natural disasters so many times. They are prone to natural disasters, probably because of their geographical location. Their climate and land also play a huge role in why they are affected more by natural disasters.

Other countries that may also get affected are India and the United States. Some countries are considered to be lucky as they are less likely to become affected by natural disasters. Some of these countries are Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE. Once again, the geographical location of these places will hold the key as to why they are not too prone to natural disasters.
