A

P-waves or PRIMARY WAVES

21
Q

Is the displacement of the ground due to violent shaking of the surface

A

GROUND RUPTURE

22
Q

occurs when one side of the ground goes up or down or both sides move with one side going up and the other going down.

A

VERTICAL DISPLACEMENT

23
Q

It happens when there is a lateral movement from side to side, one side goes to the left or right, or both move sideways in

A

HORIZONTAL DISPLACEMENT

24
Q

It takes place when there is an increase water pressure in saturated soils because of ground shaking.

A

LIQUEFACTION

25
Q

the lowering of the land surface for many reasons, such as the extraction of ground water and natural gas, mining, and earthquakes.

A

GROUND SUBSIDENCE

26
Q

is a series of large waves resulting from the disturbance of sea water commonly due to an earthquake. The height of the waves could reach as 5 meters or high.

A

TSUNAMI

27
Q

are mountains with openings in Earth’s crust through which magma, gases, and ash reach the Earth’s surface.

A

VOLCANOES

28
Q

Is a process wherein volcanic material such as molten or hot fragmented rocks or gaseous materials are ejected from a volcano

A

VOLCANIC ERUPTION

29
Q

Is one which has erupted within historical times (within the last 600 years).

A

ACTIVE VOLCANOES

30
Q

Is one which has erupted and then follows a long period of inactivity.

A

POTENTIALLY ACTIVE

31
Q

Is one that has not shown any sign of activity for a long period of time

A

INACTIVE VOLCANO

32
Q

Second largest volcanic eruption

A

Mt. PINATUBO

33
Q

It refers to the hot dry masses of fragmented volcanic materials that move along the slope.

A

PYROCLASTIC FLOW

34
Q

Is a mass of magma that flows down the slope of the volcano at a rate of 3 kilometers per day or 45 kph

A

LAVA FLOW

35
Q

Are showers of fine to coarse – grained volcanic materials and other airborne products of the eruption

A

TEPHRA FALLS

36
Q

These are rocks that are released into the air by an erupting volcano.

A

BALLISTIC PROJECTILES

37
Q

Is one of the basic components of magma or lava.

A

VOLCANIC GAS

38
Q

is the mass movement of rock, soil, and debris down a slope due to gravity.

A

LANDSLIDE

39
Q

A

Creep
Rock fall
Mudflow

Q

3 NATURAL HAZARDS

A

GEOLOGICAL
HYDRO METEOROLOGICAL

41
Q

Natural processes or phenomena of an atmospheric, hydrological, or oceanographic nature. (e.g. Hurricanes, Floods, Storm surges)

A

HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL

42
Q

Natural earth processes or phenomena that include internal earth processes of tectonic origin as well as the external mass movements. (Earthquakes, Volcanoes

A

GEOLOGICAL HAZARDS

43
Q

Processes of organic origin or those conveyed by biological vectors including exposure to pathogenic microorganisms, toxins, and bioactive substances.

A

BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS

44
Q

A low- pressure system forming in tropical latitudes as a trade wind easterly with wind speeds of up to 36 kph.

A

TROPICAL WAVE

45
Q

A low-pressure system forming in tropical latitudes with wind speeds of 62 kph (38mph)

A

TROPICAL DEPRESSION

46
Q

A rotating, intense low-pressure system, which form over tropical oceans where there are warm waters, humid air and converging winds.

A

HURRICANE

47
Q

consists of unusual volumes of water flowing onto shorelines.

A

STORM SURGE

48
Q

Any rain that pours down fast, violently, or heavily

A

Torrential rain

49
Q

A period of abnormally dry weather that persists long enough to produce a serious hydrologic imbalance ( crop damage, water shortage). The severity of the drought depends upon the degree of moisture deficiency, the duration, and the size of the affected area. (Source: NOAA)

A

DROUGHT

50
Q

The sudden slip on a fault and the resulting ground shaking and radiated seismic energy caused by the slip, or by volcanic or magmatic activity, or

A

EARTHQUAKE

51
Q

vent or chimney to the earth’s surface from a reservoir of molten rock, called magma, deep in the crust of the earth.( It may produce pyroclastic flows which are

A

VOLCANO

52
Q

A sea wave
of local or distant origin
that results from large-
scale seafloor
displacements
associated with large
earthquakes, major
submarine slides, or
