Answer:

Occurrence of seismic or volcanic events and changes in weather conditions such as cyclones.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are natural phenomena that are classified as meteorological events, which appear randomly, but become natural disasters. There are several types of events that constitute a threat in the coastal areas, which causes an atypical entry of the sea, producing a rise in sea level. This may be due to different phenomena, such as seismic or volcanic events (tsunamis). In second place are those due to variations in weather conditions, such as cyclones.
