Instruction: Match the word list with the description 

DESCRIPTION 1. A natural phenomenon with potential to cause severe impacts on its surroundings 2. A natural process which is also a factor that influences slope stability 3. Able to withstand or quickly recover from difficult circumstances 4. Agencies with specific responsibilities and objectives during emergency situations. 5. Also known as a "nuce ardente", this hazard is extremely destructive and deadly because of its high temperature and mobility 6. Can be grouped as hazards that are unlikely to happen in human life-time 7. Commonly occur in a geologically active area where tectonic shifting makes volcanoes and earthquakes 8. Comprised of the hard and rigid outer layers of the earth, including tectonic plates 9. Interaction of a down-going oceanic crust with continental crust- earthquakes produced in a dipping planar zone 10. Is a process of how to "prepare for, respond to and learn from the effects of major catastrophes" 11. Lessening or limiting the adverse impacts of hazards and related disasters 12. Natural, human and other elements situated in hazardous zones and subjected to potential losses 13. Restoration and improvement of conditions in affected communities, including efforts to reduce disaster risk factors WORD LIST: A. Bolides B. Disaster Management C. Earthquake D. Emergency Services E. Exposure F. Lithosphere G. Mitigation H. Natural Hazard I. Pyroclastic Flow J. Recovery K. Residual Risk L. Resilient M. Tsunamis N. Volcanic Plateaus O. Wadati-Benioff Zone
