The term can be applied to a wide range of situations, from natural disasters like earthquakes and floods to human actions such as war or acts of vandalism.

In a broader sense, hävituslikud can also refer to things that are detrimental to well-being, such as destructive habits or destructive criticism. It implies a force that breaks down, obliterates, or renders something useless. The intensity of the word suggests a significant and often irreversible negative impact.
