Clues

  • A hazard formed by tectonic/geological processes (include earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis) (11, 6)
  • A localised, very intense low pressure wind system forming over tropical oceans and with winds of hurricane force. (8, 6)
  • A place at risk from more than one type of disaster often at high magnitude and affects large numbers of vulnerable people (6, 7)
  • collapse of a mass of earth/rock/snow/ice falling rapidly down a cliff or mountain (18)
  • Earth's astronomical cycles whose variations cause ice ages/variation in seasons (12, 6)
  • increased volume of the oceans as a result of their higher water temperature leading to sea level rise (7, 9)
  • Natural effect needed to sustain life where the solar radiation from the sun is absorbed by the Earth's surface and is emitted by the Earth as infrared radiation and is absorbed by GHGs in the atmosphere (10, 6)
  • point at which pressure releases within the crust (10, 5)
  • Upland area formed by buckling of Earth's crust at destructive (continental) plate boundaries (4, 9)
  • where the output of a system acts to amplify (positive) or further reduce (negative) further output (8, 9)
