Ashfall or tephra fall
Are showers of airborne fine- to coarse-grained volcanic particles that fallout from the plumes of a volcanic eruption.
lava flows
Pyroclastic flows
Ashfall or tephra fall
Are turbulent masses of ejected fragmented volcanic materials (ash and rocks), mixed with hot gasses (200°C to 700°C to as hot as 900°C) that flow downslope at very high speeds (>60kph).
lava flows
Pyroclastic flows
Ashfall or tephra fall
Are rapidly flowing thick mixture of volcanic sediments (from the pyroclastic materials) and water, usually triggered by intense rainfall during typhoons, monsoons, and thunderstorms.
lahars
Pyroclastic flows
Ashfall or tephra fall
Are volcanic materials directly ejected from the volcano’s vent with force and trajectory.
lahars
Ballistic projectiles
Ashfall or tephra fall
Are gasses and aerosols released into the atmosphere, which include water vapor, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride.
lahars
Volcanic gasses
Pyroclastic flows
Massive collapse of a volcano, usually triggered by an earthquake or volcanic eruption
Debris avalanche

Pyroclastic flows
Also known as a landslip.
Rainfall-induced Landslide
Volcanic gasses
Pyroclastic flows
Occur due to erosion or underground water. They start developing a long time before it actually appears.
Natural sinkholes
man-made sinkholes
Rainfall-induced Landslide
Unexpected and rapid shaking of the earth due to the breakage and shifting of layers underneath the earth and strikes all of a sudden at any time of day or night
Earthquake
Landslide
Tsunami
Refers to the movement or shifting of tectonic plates.

Other country use descriptive scale – _____________ in assessing the earthquake intensity.
Earthquake Intensity Scale
Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale
Richter Magnitude Scale
It measures the amount of seismic energy released by an earthquake.
Earthquake Intensity Scale
Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale
Richter Magnitude Scale
It is a disruptive up-down and sideways movement or motion experienced during an earthquake.
Ground shaking
Ground rupture
Landslide
It is a displacement on the ground due to movement of fault
Ground shaking
Ground rupture
Landslide
Sea waves resulting from the disturbance of ocean floor by an earthquake.
Tsunami
Ground rupture
Landslide
It is a process that transforms the behavior of a body of sediments from that of a solid to that of a liquid when subjected to extremely intense shaking.
Liquefaction
Land subsidence
Landslide
It is defined as the lowering of the land surface due to a sinkhole or underground mine collapse, or during a major earthquake.
Liquefaction
Land subsidence
Landslide
It is the movement of rock, debris or earth down a slope. They result from the failure of the materials which make up the hill slope and are driven by the force of gravity.
Liquefaction
Land subsidence
Landslide
P waves are also faster than S waves
True
False
Maybe
A dip-slip fault in which the block above the fault has moved downward relative to the block below. This type of faulting occurs in response to extension.
Normal Fault
Strike-slip Fault
Reverse Fault
A dip-slip fault in which the upper block, above the fault plane, moves up and over the lower block. This type of faulting is common in areas of compression
Normal Fault
Strike-slip Fault
Reverse Fault
A fault on which the two blocks slide past one another. The San Andreas Fault is an example of a right lateral fault.
Normal Fault
Strike-slip Fault
Reverse Fault
The surface of the earth where earthquake happens.
Core
Lithosphere
Mantle
