Science Report

Natural hazards are events that occur naturally and can potentially cause damage. This document discusses three common geologic hazards: earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides. Earthquakes are caused by movement of tectonic plates and can result in ground shaking, surface faulting, and tsunamis. Volcanic eruptions occur when magma is released from a vent, either effusively or explosively. Landslides happen when rock or debris moves down a slope, often due to rainfall, earthquakes, or lack of vegetation.

Natural Hazard

• Natural cycle of Earth and may cause potential damage to a


community.
• is an extremely event that occurs naturally and causes to human or
to other things that we care about.
Vulnerability
Common Geologic Hazards
1. Earthquake

2. Volcanic Eruptions

3. Landslides
1. Earthquakes
• The plate tectonics theory explains that interaction of plates occurs
on their edges or boundary. The Philippines is geographically located
near the boundaries of active tectonic plates.
Hazards associated with Earthquakes.
These include the following:
• Ground Shaking
• Surface Faulting
• Tsunamis
Ground Shaking
• The vibration of the ground due to the plate movement or seismic
waves during an earthquake.
• Ground Shaking is the primary cause of earthquake damage to man-
made structures. When the ground shake strongly can be damaged or
destroy and their accumpants may be injured or killed.
Surface Faulting
• A surface faulting or surface rupture can tearing the surface and
pushing the ground apart and upward.
• Surface faulting may occur suddenly during the earthquake orit can
happen more slowly.
• Is a displacement that reaches the earth's surface during slip along a
fault.
Tsunami
• A Tsunami is a series of ocean waves that sends surges of water,
sometimes reaching heights of over 100 feet (30.5 feet).
• The speed of tsunami waves depends on ocean depth rather than the
distance from the source of the wave. Tsunami waves may travel as
fast as jet planeas over deep water, only slowing down when reaching
shallownwaters.
2. Volcanic Eruptions
• The most common type of volcanic eruption occurs when magma is
released from volcanic vent. Eruptions can be effusive, where the lava
flows like a thick, sticky liquid, or explosive, where fragmented lava
explodes out of a vent.
3. Landslide
• Landslide occur in sloping terrain. Usually, if the soil is not compact
devoid of vegetation, gravity can drive soil and rocks to slide. There
are many natural factors that can induce a landslide such as wind and
water.
• A Landslide is defined as the movement of a mass of rock, debris or
earth down a slope. Landslide is a type of “mass wasting, which
denotes any down-slope movement of soil and rock under the direct
influnce of gravity.
• Landslide can also be triggered by rainfall or earthquake.
Rainfall-induced Earthquake
Earthquake-induced Landslide
• Earthquake shaking can cause landsliding it is because of loss of it is
strength in the slope materials.
