Why are there so many tragic natural disaster happening in Asia?

2 years ago it was the Tsunami. Last December it was a cyclone in Bangladesh. And now a cyclone in Myanmar and an earthquake on China. Why on Asia all the time. We should be lucky we live in U.S that we don’t have that much natural disaster.

First of all, it’s the largest continent on Earth, therefore we should expect those disasters. Second, the span of the continent, from extremely mountainous regions to tons of coastline, make it vulnerable to all forms of disasters. Thirdly, many countries there lack the engineering resources of countries like the USA, therefore the natural disasters are typically more deadly (compare the recent earthquake in China with 12k+ deaths to earthquakes in California where the death toll is in single digits), thus will be reported to a stronger degree in the media.
