    The document discusses various natural hazards that can occur in the Philippines such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hydro-meteorological phenomena, and their impacts. It also talks about human activities that can exacerbate these hazards and different mitigation and adaptation strategies.

    Some of the natural hazards discussed include earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, landslides, storms, floods, coastal erosion, submersion, and saltwater intrusion.

    Some human activities that can trigger landslides mentioned are heavy rainfall, volcanic eruptions, deforestation, modification of slopes through mining and quarrying, and vibrations from traffic.

    MITIGATION, AND
    ADAPTATION
    BANTA, CANETE, CAUSAREN, CORTEZ, IBAY, GANZON, GARCIA, REYES
    EARTHQUAKE
    is the minimal to rapid shaking of

    the ground due to the movement

    of rocks along fractures, known as

    faults on Earth's surface

    THE PHILIPPINES IS PRONE TO EARTHQUAKES

    BECAUSE OF HE NUMEROUS NUMBERS OF

    FAULTS WITHIN THE COUNTRY.


    EARTHQUAKE
    HAZARDS
    SURFACE RUPTURE
    AND PHYSICAL
    DAMAGE
    Earthquakes wih higher energy create stronger ground motion,

    which can cause the ground to break and buildings to collapse.

    Urban areas would experience more of this damage due to the

    presence of a lot of infrastructure.


    LIQUEFACTION
    OCCURS IN AREAS WHERE THE SOIL BECOMES SATURATED
    WITH WATER
    During an earthquake, the movement of the ground may loosen the soil and allow more

    water to seep in between the particles. This decreases the ability of the soil to support

    structures that are resting upon it. When it can no longer support a building, instead of

    being toppled over, the building starts to sink.


    SERIF
    It can break out during or after

    earthquake when damages

    happen along electric power

    lines, substations, and power

    plants. I can also occur when

    ground rupture creates gas

    leaks.
    TSUNAMI
    that is generated when

    earthquakes occur on the

    seafloor.
    Occurs when there is too much shaking of the ground

    SEDILSDNAL because the movement loosens the soil, facilitating its

    downward movement

    Heavy rainfall

    Volcanic eruption

    Deforestration

    Modification of slopes, mining, and quarrying the

    natural shape of the land

    Vibrations from traffic


    VOLCANIC
    ERUPTIONS
    Earthquakes are

    sometimes used in

    predicting volcanic

    eruptions. Active

    volcanoes are the ones

    that are usually closely

    monitored by

    volcanologists.
    NONEXPLOSIVE EXPLOSIVE
    low viscosity and low amount of dissolved high viscosity and large amount of dissolved

    gases gases
    YTISOCSIV ABILITY OF MAGMA
    TO FLOW

    THE LOWER THE VISCOSITY, THE EASIER IT IS FOR MAGMA

    TO FLOW.

    the viscosity of the magma is affected by

    silica content and temperature


    VOLCANIC
    HAZARDS
    Often render people unable to run

    May bury people and severely

    damage the agricultural land and

    livestock

    Mudflow or lahar moving at high

    speed, destroying everything

    Poisonous gases are released

    Can trigger tsunami

    HAZARDS
    SDRAZAH STORM SURGE
    rise of normal sea level caused by the winds that are

    directed towards the shore

    SUBMERSION
    happens because of the changes in

    sea level due to the increase in the

    global temperature and vertical

    movement of the plates


    SALTWATER
    INTRUSION
    the movement of saltwater into

    freshwater aquifer.

    due to uncontrolled withdrawal of

    groundwater to be used by residential,

    commercial, and industrial areas built

    around by the bay.

    2 WAYS TO PREVENT:
    stop using the well

    build two wells:
