Hazards
4.1 Natural Processes and Hazards
• Natural hazards
are naturally
occurring events
that directly or
indirectly impact
the geology of the
Earth.
• Under Department of Science and Technology
(DOST)
• monitors volcano, earthquake, and tsunami activity,
and issues warnings as necessary
Geologic Hazards and Mitigation
Geologic hazard
• extreme natural event in the crust of the earth
• can cause immense damage, loss of property, and life
Earthquake
Earthquake is the shaking and trembling of Earth that results from the sudden movement
of part of Earth’s crust.
Most common cause of earthquake is faulting.

4. Pangasinan

5. Pampanga
6. Tarlac
7. Ifugao
8. Davao Oriental
9. Nueva Vizcaya
10.Nueva Ecija
Recorded locations for 6.0 and above magnitude earthquake worldwide starting from year 2012.

Shaking and rupture are usually
accompanied by other environmental
risks such as landslides

What happens when
earthquake occurs in the
ocean?
4.2 Hydrometeorological Phenomena
and Hazards
• Monsoons are
the seasonal
change of
wind direction,
which brings
huge storms.
PAGASA (Philippine
Atmospheric, Geophysical and
Astronomical Services
Administration) issue names to
typhoons within the PAR and
issues public storm warning
signals.
PAG ASA releases tropical

cyclone warnings to the public
through Public Storm Warning
Signals (PSWS).
28
Tropical Cyclone
(known as “Bagyo” in the

Philippines) is the global
generic term for an intense
circulating weather system
over tropical seas and
oceans.
29
What is its real name?
Typhoon – North-West Pacific

Hurricane – Atlantic
Cyclone – Indian Ocean and South-West Pacific

The classification of
tropical cyclones
according to the
strength of the
associated winds as
adopted by PAGASA
as of 01 May
2015 are as follows:

4.3 Marine and Coastal Processes and
Hazards
• Coastal
processes are
activities or
events
happening in the
marine
environment.
Coastal processes include
1. Waves are caused by the movement of the air masses in the coastal
environment
2. Tides refer to the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon.
3. Sea level change is a result of the rise of ocean water which can be
attributed to the melting of glaciers or iceberg in the polar regions
4. Storm surge refers to the rising of seawater due to changes in
pressure and wind associated with a storm
