Q

What does Amihan bring?

25
Give the 8 Hydrometeorological Hazards
Typhoon Thunderstorm Flash Flood Flood Stormsurge El Niño La Niña Monsoon
26
A state, process, or instance of combustion in which fuel or other material is ignited and combined with oxygen, giving off light, heat, and flame
Fire
27
Minerals in the rock were dissolved by water, leaving behind residue and voids. This causes what?
Sinkhole
28
What phase is this? if the area where the fire is confined or when the fire consumes all the available fuel, fire slowly becomes less intense
Decay Phase
29
True or False Fire is not an element, it is a process
True
30
Southwest Monsoon
Habagat
31
What phase is this? the three components of the fire triangle join together in a sustained chemical chain reaction
Ignition Phase
32
Components of a fire tetrahedron
oxygen, fuel, heat, and chemical reactions
33
It is created when material is removed from below the surface and the surface either collapses or gradually sinks into the resulting void
Sinkhole
34
An atmospheric, hydrologic, or oceanic process or phenomena that has the potential to inflict death, serious injury, negative health effects, property damage, disruption of social and economic life, or environmental harm
Hydrometeorological Hazards
35
Secondary, rotating clouds arranged in bands around the center
Rainbands
36
A seasonal prevailing wind in the region of South and Southeast Asia
Monsoon
37
Preparations for tropical cyclone
Making a plan Preparing Emergency Supplies Always be alert and prepared to evacuate Be updated on the news
38
The dirt and leftovers from the rock voids are removed by water. This causes what?
Sinkhole
39
Three components in the fire triangle
oxygen, fuel, and heat
40
faulty electrical wiring This causes what?
Fire
41
October and April Habagat or Amihan?
Amihan
42
What phase is this? the fire has gone over all available fuel and temperatures have reached their peak
Fully-developed Phase
43
185 km/h or higher
Supertyphoon
44
carelessness and accidents This causes what?
Fire
45
Northeast Monsoon
Amihan
46
True or False Fire is a combination of different elements
True
47
Reduced groundwater levels have the potential to cause the soft material in the rock gaps to lose support, which could result in collapse This causes what?
Sinkhole
48
Give an effect of tropical cyclone
Loss of life Damage to properties Electricity interruption Flooding Strong winds, heavy rains, and storm surges over the past 50 years, nearly one million people lost their lives because of tropical cyclones
49
It is a closed, naturally occurring depression in the ground surface
Sinkhole
50
It is caused by brief, intense downpours. It is typically stimulated by cumulative rainfall over extended periods of time
Rainfall-induced landslides
51
The height of the water above the regular expected astronomical tide during a storm is an extraordinary rise in sea level. The winds from a storm pushing water onshore is what mostly causes the surge
Storm Surge
52
What phase is this? heat transfer via convection and radiation spread the heat, thereby igniting more surfaces
Growth Phase
53
Parts of a tropical cyclone
Eye, eyewall, rainbands
