Earthquake: A sudden and violent shaking of the ground caused by movements within the Earth's crust.

Erosion: The process by which soil and rock are worn away by natural forces such as water, wind, and ice.

Evaporation: The process by which a liquid, such as water, changes into a gas, usually due to heating.

Ignorance: Lack of knowledge or awareness about a particular subject or situation.

Flooding: The overflowing of water onto land that is usually dry, often caused by heavy rainfall or melting snow.

Freezing: The process by which a liquid changes into a solid due to a decrease in temperature.

Decay: The process of breaking down or deteriorating over time.

Economic Growth: The increase in the value of goods and services produced in an economy over time.

Speed: The rate at which an object travels.

Flow: The movement of a fluid, such as water, air, or gas.

Weathering: The breaking down of rocks and minerals by the effects of weather.

Earthquake: A sudden and violent shaking of the earth's crust caused by the release of energy.

Erosion: The wearing away of the land by wind, water, or ice.

Evaporation: The process by which a liquid turns into a gas.

Ignorance: The lack of knowledge or information.
