Disruption, or disturbance, refers to an interruption in the normal flow or functioning of a system, process, or environment. This can occur in various contexts, such as in nature, where events like earthquakes or storms can disrupt ecosystems, or in business, where new technologies or competitors can alter market dynamics. In everyday life, disruptions can affect routines, such as a power outage that interrupts electricity supply or a traffic jam that delays travel. Understanding disruptions is essential for developing strategies to manage their impacts and restore normalcy in affected areas or systems.
