  20. The difference between a global and local disaster is local disasters are only in some parts of the world and a global disaster happens every where . A example is a earthquake. Earthquakes can happen any where so that is a global disaster. A sandstorm only happens in certain places like desearts.

  21. A wildfire is a local disaster, as it affects less people and only a small town. A hurricane is global disaster, and it affects more people and bigger area than a local disaster would. http://www.scidev.net/global/communication/feature/early-warning-of-disasters-facts-and-figures-1.html

  80. The difference between a localized disaster and a globalized is that the localized disaster only affects the people in a small area where the event occurred and the global disaster affects a lot of people beyond where the disaster originated. An example of a localized disaster would an earthquake as they don't stretch across the world, and an example of a globalized disaster would be a tsunami because it can go across the oceans and the fallout from it can affect coasts everywhere.
