It depends on how u take it. The unscientific reason is that the nature has its own solutions to the problems it creates. Hence if theres a process of reproduction there should also be a way to eliminate the excess ones. This also paves path to evolution.
The scientific reason can be taken due to overpopulation, pollution etc.bcoz of over-population people started living wherever they find place causing imbalance in the ecosystem.The huge buildings increase pressure on the layers of earth & causes earthquake.The pollution too is responsible for calamities like cyclones as it causes untimely rainfall,greenhouse effect(abnormal temperatures) etc

It's all a matter of interpretation. Natural events that occur are sometimes interpreted as "calamities" . They are simply natural events. Neither a miracle nor a calamity.
The death of a loved one is often interpreted as something bad but in reality it is not something bad but something purely natural.
Death and birth are but the two ends of the same thing.
Birth, death, change. This is necessary.

Usually, physics. My geology prof would say geology.
Chaos theorists would say chaos.
Religions and philosophies which say that natural disasters occur for some deep/divine reason of retribution seem mean-spirited to me. All types of people were killed in the tsunami a couple of years ago. Some were kind, some were cruel. I'm sure many were devout in whatever religion they espoused, while others were not. From infant to senior citizen, the wave did not spare some and take others for any 'reason'.
We have an active, sometimes violent organism on which we live called earth. It is beautiful, bountiful but also harsh and dangerous. There is no philosophical meaning to it's fury, but we can take meaning from it, both scientific and religious/philosophic to better our lives if we wish.
Peace

Because life is random, there is no such thing as fate or pre-ordained plan, bad things happen to ALL people because of coincidence, Murphy's Law, and random acts of nature and people. When the tectonic plates crash into each other and cause human calamities, are they worried about who's good and bad? Don't make me laugh.
To think that good people are protected or somehow immune to the laws of nature is not logical or rational. If you start believing in fate and pre-ordained plans, then you're reverted to superstitious CAVE MAN logic....don't do it. Just kidding, do and believe what you want.

It's the nature of nature... you have rainfall, so you'll have sometimes too much or too little. There are seas, they sometimes dry up and sometimes flood the earth. etc etc..

To quote Denis Leary, "Life sucks, get a f**king helmet, all right?"
