Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Gale		Hurricanes and typhoons are the same weather phenomenon
Volcano		A generic term used by meteorologists to describe a rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or subtropical waters and has closed, low-level circulation
Earthquake		A rupture in the Earth's crust that allows molten lava, gases, and ash to escape, often forming a mountain or cone
Hurricane		A sudden shaking or movement of the Earth's surface caused by the release of energy from the Earth's crust due to tectonic activity

Tropical Cyclone		An uncontrolled fire that spreads rapidly through vegetation, commonly occurring in forests, grasslands, or wild areas, often exacerbated by dry conditions
Tornado		A series of large ocean waves generated by an underwater earthquake, volcanic eruption, or landslide, often causing massive flooding when they hit coastal areas
Flood		A powerful tropical storm with winds exceeding 74 mph (119 km/h), heavy rain, and strong waves, typically occurring in the Atlantic or northeastern Pacific Oceans
Forest Fire		A civilization ending event characterized by the dead rising from their graves and killing the living to feast on their brains either by fungus, virus or bacteria
Tsunami		An overflow of water onto normally dry land, often caused by excessive rainfall, melting snow, or storm surges from hurricanes
Zombie Apocalypse		A strong wind, typically between 34 and 40 knots, often associated with storms and hurricanes
