DESCRIPTION 16. Ability of people, organizations and systems, using available skills and resources, to face and manage adverse conditions, emergencies or disasters 17. Adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli or their effects, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities 18. Also known as a "nuee ardente", this hazard is extremely destructive and deadly because of its high temperature and mobility 19. A misconception of a natural hazard (e.g. volcano) with resulting severe impacts 20. Comprised of the hard and rigid outer layers of the earth, including tectonic plates 21. Convergence of the earth's crust resulting in ductile behavior of rocks 22. Form of mass wasting characterized by high water content and low cohesive strength 23. Generation and dissemination of timely and meaningful warning information to reduce harm or loss 24. Initial size is determined by the amount of vertical sea floor deformation or displacement 25. Is calculated using the atmospheric pressure difference between two specific countries 26. Loss of this protective layer would allow increased ultraviolet solar radiation to reach the Earth and have catastrophic impacts 27. Management process that analyses specific potential events/ situations of threat to society/ environment and establishes advance arrangements to enable timely, effective and appropriate responses 28. Restoration and improvement where appropriate, of facilities, livelihoods and living conditions of disaster-affected communities, including efforts to reduce disaster risk factors 29. Situation in which a natural hazard forces impacted communities to request assistance because they are unable to cope with limited resources they have WORD LIST: I. Adaptation J.
