Rotational Slide Deep-seated Landslides Sudden Geologic Bioturbation
Hazards
Translational Slide Fall Landslide Erosion
Flow Toppling Shallow Landslides Geologic Hazards

___________________________1. These refer to the geologic processes that may cause the loss of lives, injuries,
damage to property, social and economic disruptions it may result in the loss of
livelihood, or environmental damage.
___________________________2. This refers to geomorphic process by which soil, sand, regolith and rock move
by Mr. Gahoc (joel.gahoc@pctdavao.edu.ph)
 downslope typically as a mass influenced by gravity and frequently affected by
water or water content.

___________________________3. This process is the biological reworking of soils and sediments are continuously
done by plants and animals that aerate or place water in the soil.

___________________________4. This geologic hazards happen very quickly and with little or no warning.

___________________________5. This occurs when the sliding surface range from a few decimeters to a few
meters
of soil of weathered bedrock.

___________________________6. This occurs when the deep sliding surfaces that are located below the
maximum
rooting depth of trees, often of more than 10 meters.

___________________________7. This occurs when soil or rocks abruptly detach from a steep or cliff, about 45 to
90 degrees (nearly vertical) and often with a high elevation

___________________________8. This is similar to a domino falling when it is resting on its narrow edge, or loaf
bread that is being sliced on its width.

___________________________9. The surface of rupture is curved concavely upward and slide movement roughly
rotates about an axis that is parallel to the ground surface and transverse
across
the slide.

__________________________10. This is the type of slide wherein the landslide mass moves along a roughly
planar
surface with almost no rotation or backward titling.

Hydrometeorology Tropical depression Tropical storm Typhoon

Habagat Amihan Cold Front ITCZ
Thunderstorm El Niño La Niña Lightning

___________________________11. This involves studying tropical depressions, super-typhoons, drought, and

desertification, among others.

___________________________12. This refers to a low-pressure area forming over warm seas and oceans, and
made up of merging thunderstorms and wind speed is less than 64kph

___________________________13. The weather system takes on a more definite circular form as the winds rotate
around a center and wind speed at 64 to 118 kph.

___________________________14. This weather system with moisture-laden winds and rains affect the
Philippines
during what is commonly known as “rainy season” beginning around July and
ending in October

___________________________15. It covers post-Christmas season, when air is typically colder and the weather
generally undisturbed by storms.

___________________________16. The front boundary where the edge of the cold air mass meets the warmer air.

___________________________17. It is the result from the interaction and convergence of trade winds,
specifically
the north-eastherly and south-eastherly winds in the northern and southern
hemisphere, respectively.

___________________________18. It is identified by cumulonimbus clouds and the presence of lightning and

thunder.

___________________________19. A period of prolonged drought.

___________________________20. It makes wet season even wetter, and increase the chances of formation of
tropical cyclones.

Forest fire Fire hazards Fire ecology Arson Urban fire

___________________________21. These are wildfires that are also called bush fires, or grass fires that are
fuelled
by combustible vegetation.

___________________________22. These are urban conflagrations and extensive fires.
