  3. 7. This type of pressure results in fine weather with few clouds and is found at 30 N and 30 S (4)
  4. 10. A natural cause of climate change on an 11 year cycle (8)
  5. 11. This causes the movement of tectonic plates (10,7)
  6. 13. The probability (chance) of a hazard occurring and causing harm (4)
  7. 14. Action taken to reduce the long term risk of natural hazards e.g. countries agreeing to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (9)
