  1. 2. A series of ocean waves with extremely long wavelengths, usually triggered by undersea earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
  2. 3. The coastal flooding caused due to winds in storm systems like hurricanes.
  3. 6. The slow, continuous movement of soil or rock downhill over time due to the force of gravity.
  4. 8. Sudden shaking or trembling of the ground caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface.
  5. 10. A depression or hole in the ground caused by the collapse of a surface layer into an underlying cavity.
Down
  1. 1. The process where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another in a convergent boundary, often causing powerful earthquakes or volcanoes.
  2. 4. Energy waves generated by the sudden release of stress within the Earth, causing vibrations.
  3. 5. The point on the Earth's surface directly above the earthquake's point of origin or focus.
  4. 7. A type of landslide involving a rapid movement of a mixture of soil, rock, and water down a slope.
  5. 9. An overflow of water onto normally dry land, often caused by heavy rainfall, storm surges, or the melting of snow and ice.
