EARTHQUAKE
HAZARDS
POTENTIAL EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS

• Ground Shaking – shaking caused by


the passage of seismic wave that travels
through different layers of earth caused
by the vibration or movement
POTENTIAL EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS

• Ground Rupture –
occurs when ground
movement happens on
a fault line and breaks
through the surface.
POTENTIAL EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS

• Liquefaction –
occurs when
seismic shaking
causes loose
materials in the
soil to mix with
groundwater or
soil saturated
with water.

Liquefaction
POTENTIAL EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS

• Earthquake-
induced ground
subsidence – the
lowering of land
due to various
causes, one of
which is the
earthquake on a
fault line.
POTENTIAL EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS

• Earthquake-induced ground subsidence


POTENTIAL EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS

• Tsunami – a
Japanese word means
“Harbor Wave”, series
of waves that are
generated by a
sudden displacement
on the ocean floor
caused .
POTENTIAL EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS

• Earthquake-
induced
landslide – a
weakened
section of land
falls off
primarily due to
gravity.
Early Warning Signs of
Earthquake Hazard
SEISMOMETER

• Is an instrument used to
measure movements in
earth’s surface. It
detects vibrations from
seismic waves generated
by earthquake.
Precautionary and Safety
measures BEFORE, DURING,
and AFTER an Earthquake
