geological hazard

Question 1

is geological process or phenomenon that may cause loss of life, property damage, social and economic disruption

Answer 1

geologic hazard

Question 2

includes internal earth process and geophysical processes

Answer 2

geologic hazard

Question 3

different geologic hazard

Answer 3

rainfall induced landslide, sinkholes

Question 4

also called “landslip” is a geological phenomenon which includes a wide range of ground movement on a sloping terrain

Answer 4

landslide

Question 5

are depressions or holes on the ground that resulted from the collapse of the surface layer of the soil

Answer 5

sinkholes

Question 6

types of sinkholes

Answer 6

solution, cover collapse, cover subsidence

Question 7

these are most commonly seen in areas that have a very thin cover soil on the surface, exposing the bedrock below to continual erosion by water

Answer 7

solution sinkholes

Question 8

these take place when the bedrock is covered by a deep layer of soil and earth

Answer 8

cover collapse sinkholes

Question 9

the hole is formed over a period of time. the bedrock here is covered by soil and materials which are not well-knitted together

Answer 9

cover subsidence sinkholes

Question 10

natural causes of landslides and sinkholes

Answer 10

earthquake, heavy rain

Question 11

human causes of landslides and sinkholes

Answer 11

clear cutting, mining

Question 12

other different geologic hazards

Answer 12

snow avalanches, tsunami, flood hazards, rock fall hazards, permafrost, mudflow

Question 13

equipped with tiltmeter, is used to measure the slope angle, soil compaction, and soil strength of an area

Answer 13

abney level or laser rangefinder,

Question 14

provide images of subsurface ground

Answer 14

ground penetrating radar
