Explanation:

  • Intangible Loss: This type of loss refers to impacts that are not easily quantifiable in monetary terms, such as the loss of human life, emotional trauma, or cultural heritage.

  • The death of individuals, especially in sudden and unexpected circumstances like nighttime floods, is a profound loss that cannot be measured or replaced, hence it is classified as intangible.

  • Tangible Loss: In contrast, tangible losses refer to physical assets that can be measured in monetary terms, such as damage to property, infrastructure, and crops.
