A natural disaster is caused by natural forces like earthquakes or hurricanes, while a nuclear disaster involves the release of harmful radiation due to accidents in nuclear power plants or the detonation of nuclear weapons. Natural disasters are typically unpredictable and uncontrollable, whereas nuclear disasters can have long-lasting impacts on health and the environment due to radiation exposure.
A non-natural disaster is caused by human activity and is often the result of carelessness or under-caution (e.g. traffic accidents, pandemic, terrorist attack), whereas a natural disaster is when a force of nature becomes extreme and causes destruction to a human community (e.g. earthquake, tsunami, cyclone.)

What are the difference between fission and nuclear?
That's like asking what is the difference between a potato and a plant. Nuclear fission is the splitting of atoms to release binding energy. Nuclear is the overall concept that structure and energy of the atom is contained within the nucleus.This answer assumes, by virtue of the category the question was placed in, that the intended topic is nuclear physics, and not biology, to which it could just have as easily been applied.
What is the difference between a natural hazard and a man made hazard with examples?
A natural hazard is a threat caused by natural phenomena, such as earthquakes or hurricanes, while a man-made hazard is a threat resulting from human activities, like pollution or industrial accidents. For example, an earthquake is a natural hazard, while a nuclear power plant meltdown is a man-made hazard.
What is mass defect associated with?
Mass defect is associated with nuclear reactions and nuclear binding energy. It refers to the difference between the measured mass of an atomic nucleus and the sum of the masses of its individual protons and neutrons. This difference is released as energy when the nucleus is formed.
