The cataclysm is the Greek expression for the Biblical Great Flood Of Noah , from the Greek ''kataklysmos'', to "wash down." Erudite Bible studies drew it into the English language in 1633. A ''cataclysm'' is merely one kind of '' Catastrophe '', best used when confined to a Geological Phenomenon of planetary significance. As with many words of Apocalyptic Biblical resonance, the adoption of ''cataclysm'' for features of manufactured pop culture in order to evoke an atmosphere of doom may provoke unintentional hilarity (compare Camp ). A cataclysm is an event or catastrophe in which great changes happen. USES IN CONTEMPORARY WORKS
