BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Our planet is shaped by several processes. There are forces responsible for these
process. These actions happen for important reasons. It affects every lives of every living
matter and existence of non-living matter. These forces collectively originate from beyond the
earth.
There are a lot and different threats in our lives. The year 2020 is very challenging for
almost every one of us as we confront different threats in our lives such as the pandemic of
COVID-19, typhoon Ambo which severely damaged some provinces in the south last
February and the continuous threats of Taal Volcano eruption since January which caused
damages to lives and properties in Batangas and other nearby provinces. People felt distress
because they experienced a strong tremble and aftershocks after a major eruption of the
volcano.
Aside from these, one of the most feared threat is the coming of the “BIG ONE” or the
magnitude 8.0 earthquake that may happen with the movement of the West Valley Fault.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION
A. Tremors to Remember!
Did you know that since 1968, PHIVOLCS have recorded 12 destructive earthquakes
in the Philippines? This includes the disreputable July 16,1990 Luzon earthquake which
caused immeasurable injuries and no less than 1,100 deaths. Seismicity, the occurrence or
frequency of earthquakes includes geographic and historical distribution of earthquake
events all over the country except in the Palawan region. Provinces such as La Union and
Pangasinan are susceptible to earthquakes, especially the deep-focused ones, due to the
Manila Trench while Surigao del Sur and Davao Oriental have earthquake hazards due to
Philippine Trench and nearby active faults. Frequency of shallow and left-lateral strike-slip
earthquakes in Nueva Vizcaya, Nueva Ecija, Eastern Pangasinan, Benguet and La Union
can be attributed to its location along the Philippine Fault Zone. However, Ifugao, despite
having less earthquake occurrences is at risk because of its very high vulnerability to
disasters.
What parts of the Philippine geographical map are prone to earthquakes?
1 Surigao Del Sur
2. La Union
3. Benguet
4. Pangasinan
5. Pampanga
6. Tarlac
7. Ifugao
8. Davao Oriental
9. Nueva Vizcaya

B. Deadly Explosions…Boom!!!
A volcanic eruption can be described
to a similar process that happens when you
unscrew the lid of a soft-drink bottle. The
pressurized drink represents the gas-rich
magma with carbon dioxide dissolved in the
liquid. Opening the lid (possibly after
shaking) releases the pressure and the
bubbles immediately expand and may push
up through the neck of the bottle. The
release of this great pressure causes
volcanic explosions, such as the major
catastrophic eruption of Krakatau in 1883.

C. Danger, Big Rocks Falling!!!
What is known to be the deadliest landslides that happened in the Philippines? On February
17, 2006, a massive rock slide-debris avalanche occurred in the province of Southern Leyte,
causing widespread damage and loss of life. The deadly landslide (or debris flow) followed a
10-day period of heavy rain and a minor earthquake (magnitude 2.6 on the Richter scale).
There are other provinces like Ifugao, Lanao del Sur and Saranggani ranked high because of
their high vulnerability to disasters while Rizal
ranked the lowest. Benguet, despite its low
vulnerability, ranked four because of its high
exposure factor or population density. Aurora
ranked higher than Davao del Sur and Davao
Oriental despite its low vulnerability
compared with the other two provinces. This
is due to the fact that the whole of Aurora is
more susceptible to landslide than the other
two provinces. Most of the provinces, except
Palawan, are susceptible to landslide hazards.
From the map below, the top ten provinces
that are at risk to earthquake-induced shallow
landslides are as follows:
1. Ifugao
2. Lanao Del Sur
3. Saranggani
4. Benguet
5. Mountain Province
6. Bukidnon
7. Aurora
8. Davao del Sur
9. Davao Oriental
10. Rizal

REMEMBER
An earthquake is a result of sudden movement of the earth's tectonic plates, which
causes shaking of the ground. Thus, shaking can damage various structures such as
buildings and further breakdown of the earth's surface. The study of earthquakes is
called seismology.
The Philippines is susceptible to earthquakes, due to the following factors:
Philippines lies within the “Ring of Fire,” a region of subduction zone volcanism
surrounding the Pacific Ocean, and this explains the distribution of most volcanoes in
our country.
Landslide is described as the movement of a mass of rock, debris, or earth down a
slope. It’s a type of "mass wasting," which denotes any down-slope movement of soil
and rock under the direct influence of gravity.
A geological hazard map indicates the areas that are vulnerable to hazards caused by
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides. It is a tool used by scientists and local
government authorities to anticipate any hazard that a geological event may bring.

events which can be geophysical (earthquakes,
landslides, tsunamis and volcanic activity),
hydrological (avalanches and floods), climatological
(extreme temperatures, drought and wildfires),
meteorological (cyclones and storms/wave surges) or
biological (disease epidemics and insect/animal
plagues). Technological or man-made hazards
(complex emergencies/conflicts, famine, displaced
populations, industrial accidents and transport
accidents) are events that are caused by humans and
occur in or close to human settlements. This can
include environmental degradation, pollution and
accidents. Technological or man-made hazards
(complex emergencies/conflicts, famine, displaced populations, industrial accidents and transport
accidents)
Biological hazard
Biological hazards include outbreaks of epidemic diseases, plant or animal contagion,
insect or other animal plagues and infestations.
Geological hazard
Geological hazards include internal earth processes, such as earthquakes, volcanic activity
and emissions, and related geophysical processes such as mass movements, landslides,
rockslides, surface collapses, and debris or mudflows.

Activity 1.1: Identifying Impacts of Hazards
This activity is meant for the learners to think
independently and have their quick analysis
on the impacts of certain hazards according to the
following factors.
Divide the class into 3 groups. For each group, learners should identify 1 Facilitator to lead
the discussion, 1 person to act as Secretary to write the final answers, another person as
Reporter to discuss the results of group discussion. All learners should write the identified
impacts on the metacards (will be discussed online by the subject teacher). And there
should be group discussion.
Good luck!

There are natural hazards that can result into landslide. There are also man made hazards that can
affect geologic processes and result into landslide.
• Ground shaking- disruptive up-down and sideways movement or motion experienced during
an earthquake.
• Ground rupture- displacement on the ground due to movement of fault.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION
What is Hydrometeorology?
Hydrometeorology is the science that studies the cycle of water. It is intimately related
to the meteorology, hydrology, and climatology sciences. The hydrometeorology studies the
processes of the hydrological cycle that occur in the atmosphere (evaporation, condensation,
and precipitation) and in the ground (rainfall interception, infiltration, and surface runoff)
and their interactions. The hydrometeorology science studies the behavior of hydrologic
elements, such as rivers, ponds, and dams

Oceans and seas have great influence on the weather of continental masses. A large
portion of the solar energy reaching the sea-surface is consumed in the process of
evaporation. These waters evaporated from the sea/ocean is carried up into the atmosphere
and condenses, forming clouds from which all forms of precipitation result. Sometimes,
intense cyclonic circulations occur which is what we call the tropical cyclones.
Tropical cyclones are warm-core low pressure systems associated with a spiral inflow
of mass at the bottom level and spiral outflow at the top level. They always form over oceans
where sea surface temperature, also air temperatures are greater than 26°C. The air
accumulates large amounts of sensible and latent heat as it spirals towards the center. It
receives this heat from the sea and the exchange can occur rapidly, because of the large
amount of spray thrown into the air by the wind.
The energy of the tropical cyclone is thus derived from the massive liberation of the
latent heat of condensation.
Tropical cyclones can only form over oceans of the world except in the South Atlantic
Ocean and the south eastern Pacific where a tropical cyclone could never be formed due to
the cooler sea surface temperature and higher vertical wind shears. They develop at latitudes
usually greater than 5° from the equator. They reach their greatest intensity while located
over warm tropical water. As soon as they move inland, they begin to weaken, but often not
before they have caused great destruction.
Hurricanes, Cyclone, Typhoons
These three are basically the same thing. They are given different names depending on
their point of origin.
Hurricanes are tropical storms that form over the North Atlantic Ocean and Northeast
Pacific. While Cyclones are formed over the South Pacific and Indian Ocean and Typhoons
are formed over the Northwest Pacific Ocean.
The Philippines is prone to tropical cyclones due to its geographical location which
generally produce heavy rains and flooding of large areas and also strong winds which result
in heavy casualties to human life and destructions to crops and properties. Thus, it is of
utmost importance to have sufficient knowledge on such maritime phenomena for beneficial
purposes.
Hydro meteorological Hazards
Hydro meteorological hazards are processes
of atmospheric, hydrological or oceanographic
nature that may cause the loss of life or injury,
property damage, social and economic disruption
or environmental degradation. Examples of this are
tropical cyclones, monsoon rains (like habagat and
amihan), tornado, ipo-ipo and thunderstorms,
floods, drought, wildfire and storm surges
Hazard Maps
Hazard maps are developed to identify areas
that are affected or vulnerable to a particular
hazard. They are typically made for natural hazards
such as earthquake ground motion, flooding,
landslides, liquefaction, tsunami and others.
These maps when properly utilized by
developers and engineers can save lives and
economic losses by avoiding exposure to some
