Discuss about irregular variation

Solution
Irregular Variations: These variations do not have a particular pattern and there is no regular period of time of their occurrences.
These are accidental changes that are purely random or unpredictable.
Normally they are short-term variations, but their occurrence sometimes has its effect so intense that they may give rise to new cyclic or other movements of variations.
For example floods, wars, earthquakes, Tsunami, strikes, lockouts, etc
