My word
Alluvial soil or sediment rich in allusium deposited by running water
Asteroid small bodies orbiting the sun
Bountiful plentiful, abundant
Debris rubble, especially from a wreckage
Deluge flood
Dyke dam, or embankment
Epicentre the point on the earth’s surface directly above the origin of an earthquake
Flank side or edge
Intensity strength, or force
Inundate submerge with water
Landfall when a hurricane’s centre or eye moves over land after being over water
Lesions cuts, wounds, abrasions
Magnitude scale or degree
Meteorite large particles travelling through space, which enter the earth’s atmosphere
Mitigate to lessen or reduce
Ocean currents flows of hot or cold water within the oceans, caused by forces like
planet rotation, wind, temperature, moon’s gravitation, and so on
Pyroclastic flows fast-moving currents of hot gas and rock, which move away from
an erupting volcano
Retreat withdraw, or move back
Saturated containing the largest possible amount of a solute
Vulnerability our level of weakness and exposure
TNT trinitrotoluene, a chemical used in bombs to cause explosion
