1 Tsunami
Tsunamis are giant waves caused by
earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the sea.
2 Landslide
Also known as landslips, are several forms of
mass wasting that may include a wide range of
ground movements, such as rockfalls, deep-
seated slope failures, mudflows, and debris
flows.  
3 a phenomenon in which the strength and
stiffness of a soil is reduced by earthquake
Liquefaction shaking or other rapid loading.
4 Ground shaking is a term used to describe
the vibration of the ground during an
Ground shaking earthquake. Ground shaking is caused by
body waves and surface waves. As a
generalization, the severity of ground
shaking increases as magnitude increases
and decreases as distance from the
causative fault increases.
5 Subsidence, or lowering of the ground
surface, often occurs during earthquakes.
C. Potential effects or
impacts
 Violent flooding
 Destruction and damage
 Death, Injury, Disease
 Millions of dollars of financial loss
 Psychological problems for the inhabitants
of the affected region
 loss of lives
 damage to infrastructures: roads, schools,
etc.
 economic losses: house, land, crops,
animals, etc.
 disturbance of surface water
 income and labour loss
 psychological suffering
loss of cultural sites
 loss of biodiversity
 Non-uniform and differential settlement of
structures often resulting in cracking. 
 Flotation of buried structures such as
sewer lines, tanks, and pipes.
 Strong lateral forces against retaining
structures such as seawalls.
 destroy buildings in their path, or
block roads and railroad lines, or take
hilltop homes with them as they
tumble.
 Death and injuries to living organisms
 Economic and agricultural loss

 Severe ground shaking from local earthquakes may cause tsunamis.

 As a tsunami approaches shorelines, water may recede from the coast, exposing the ocean
floor, reefs and fish.
 Abnormal ocean activity, a wall of water, and an approaching tsunami create a loud "roaring"
sound similar to that of a train or jet aircraft.

E. Explain why some other areas are highly potential for the occurrence of tsunami
while others are not.
 Certain areas are particularly prone to tsunamis and the devastation they can bring. This is
due to their location near local tsunami sources, exposure to distant tsunami sources, and
local bathymetry and topography. Many areas of tsunami high risk tend to be coastal
regions around the Pacific Ocean. The largest number of earthquakes occur around the rim
of the Pacific Ocean associated with a series of volcanoes and deep-ocean trenches known
as the "Ring of Fire". As a result, the largest source region for tsunamis is in the Pacific
Ocean with 71% of all occurrences. Tsunami hazard exist in all oceans and basins, but
occur most frequently in the Pacific Ocean. Tsunamis can occur anywhere and at any time
because earthquakes cannot be accurately predicted.

F. In two to three sentences, interpret earthquake hazard map located at

 The interpretation of earthquake hazard map is that all the regions and places that marked
color red have a high risk to earth quakes, these places are Surigao del Sur, La Union,
Benguet, Pangasinan, Tarlac, Pampanga, Ifugao, Davao Oriental, Nueva Vizcaya and Nueva
Ecija and many more. The regions and places that indicated and marked orange color have
medium risk to earth quakes, the example places are bagiuo, ilo-ilo and calamba. Lastly, the
yellow indicated regions and places have the low risk of earthquake hazards and this
includes the palawan province.
