Epicenter

22
Q

(ANATOMY OF AN EARTHQUAKE) The point within the Earth where an Earthquake rupture starts.

A

Focus

23
Q

(ANATOMY OF AN EARTHQUAKE) Waves that transmit the energy released by an earthquake.

A

Seismic Wave

24
Q

(TYPES OF FAULT) Rocks are sliding past one another on a horizontal plane.

A

Normal Fault

25
Q

(TYPES OF FAULT) Two blocks of crust pulling apart and extending the crust into a valley, creating space.

A

Strike-Slip Fault

26
Q

(TYPES OF FAULT) Also known as thrust fault, the slide one block of crust on top of another.

A

Reverse Fault

27
Q

The energy released by an earthquake at the focus

A

Magnitude

28
Q

An INSTRUMENT used to calculate magnitudes

A

Seismograph

29
Q

A scale for MAGNITUDE shit

A

Mercalli Scale

30
Q

A scale for INTENSITY shit

A

Richter Scale

31
Q

It is the strength of an earthquake perceived and felt by people in a certain locality. Generally higher near the epicenter.

A

Intensity

32
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: Intensity is generally higher near the epicenter.

A

TRUE

33
Q

(EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS) Disruptive up, down and sideways movement of the ground during an earthquake.

A

Ground Shaking

34
Q

(EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS) Deformation on the ground that marks the intersection of the fault with the earth’s surface

A

Ground Rupture

35
Q

(EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS) It is a process caused by water pressure which makes soil more compact. It decreases the ground’s ability to support structures.

A

Liquefaction

36
Q

(EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS) Down slope movements of rocks and other debris commonly triggered by strong shaking.

A

Landslide

37
Q

(EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS) a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean.

A

Tsunami

38
Q

Fault that is expected to generate a 7.2 magnitude can yield an intensity 8 earthquake that can affect Metro Manila
and nearby regions of Central Luzon and CALABARZON

A

West Valley Fault

39
Q

Fascinating geological features that are formed when molten rock, ash, and gas escape from the Earth’s surface.

A

Volcano

40
Q

Observable facts that are arising due to volcanic activity such as eruption.

A

Volcanic Hazards

41
Q

One of the most dangerous natural events because of the different hazards: lahar, lava flows, ash falls, pyroclastic flows, debris avalanches, and emission of volcanic gases.

A

Volcanic Eruption

42
Q

(SIGNS OF VOLCANIC ERUPTION) Increase in the frequency of volcanic quakes with rumbling sounds occurrence of volcanic tremors.

A

Earthquake

43
Q

(SIGNS OF VOLCANIC ERUPTION) Increased STEAMING activity; change in color of steam from white to gray due to entrained ash.

A

Steam

44
Q

(SIGNS OF VOLCANIC ERUPTION) Ground swells (or inflation), ground tilt and ground FISSURING due to magma intrusion.

A

Fissure

45
Q

(SIGNS OF VOLCANIC ERUPTION) It is due to the presence of magma at or near the crater.

A

Crater Glow

46
Q

(SIGNS OF VOLCANIC ERUPTION) Noticeable increase in drying up of vegetation around the volcano’s upper slopes

A

Dry Land

47
Q

Give the 5 signs of volcanic eruption

A

Earthquake, Steam, Fissure, Crater Glow, Dry Land

48
Q

(POTENTIAL VOLCANO-RELATED HAZARDS) a fast-flowing, destructive volcanic mudflow. It typically consists of a mixture of volcanic ash, debris, and water that originates on the slopes of a volcano, often triggered by heavy rainfall

A

Lahar Flow

49
Q

POTENTIAL VOLCANO-RELATED HAZARDS) occurs when a volcano erupts, releasing fine particles of volcanic ash into the atmosphere. These particles can be carried by wind and fall to the ground over a wide area.

A

Ash Fall

50
Q

POTENTIAL VOLCANO-RELATED HAZARDS) fast-moving, highly destructive mass of hot gas, ash, and volcanic rock fragments that flows down the sides of a volcano during an explosive eruption.

A

Pyroclastic Flow

51
Q

POTENTIAL VOLCANO-RELATED HAZARDS) large volcanic rock fragments ejected during explosive volcanic eruptions. These fragments can vary in size from small rocks to boulders and are propelled into the air by volcanic explosions.

A

Ballistic Projectile

52
Q

POTENTIAL VOLCANO-RELATED HAZARDS) movement of molten rock down the slopes of a volcano during an eruption. Moves relatively slowly compared to other volcanic hazards.

A

Lava Flow
