The perceptible shakings of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's
crust that creates seismic waves.
a. Earthquake b. landslides c. volcanic eruptions d. typhoon
2. A visible breaking and displacement of the Earth's surface along the trace of the fault, which may be of the order
of several metres in the case of major earthquakes.
a. ground shaking b. ground rupture c. liquefaction d. land subsidence
3. It can occur in various ways during an earthquake. Movement that occurs along faults can be horizontal or
vertical or have a component of both.
a. liquefaction b. ground rupture c. land subsidence d. tsunami
4. It happens when sediments with a high water content are subjected to prolonged shaking, the pressure of the
water held in pores in the sediment gradually increases eventually, the sediments lose all cohesive strength and
begin to behave as if they were liquids
a.tsunami b. ground shaking c. ground rupture d. liquefaction
6. Also known as a seismic sea wave, is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large
volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake.
a. tsunami b. liquefaction c. ground rupture d. land subsidence
8. It’s a type of tsunami that can travel from 1 to 24 hours before reaching the coast of the nearby countries.
a. typhoon b. far field c. local d. storm surge
9. It’s a type of tsunami that confined to coasts within a hundred kilometers of the source usually earthquakes and a
landslide or a pyroclastic flow.
a. storm surge b. local c. far field d. land slide
10. These are various bits of debris , fast-moving (up to 700 km/hr) extremely hot (~1000 °C) that charges down
the sides of a volcano during an explosive eruption.
a. lahar b. ash fall c. pyroclastic flow d. lava flow
11. Volcanic explosions expel fragments following ballistic trajectories. It represent a hazard due to their high
velocities and temperatures.
a. ash fall b. lava flow c. lahar d. ballistic projectile
12. It always involved in volcanic eruptions, but they are often given off by passively degassing (dormant) volcano.
a. lava flow b. volcanic gases c. ballistic projectile d. lahar
13. Type of natural event closely related to a volcanic eruption, and involves a large amount of material originating
from an eruption of a glaciated volcano, including mud from the melted ice, rock, and ash sliding down the
side of the volcano at a rapid pace.
a. pyroclastic flow b. lahar c. lava flow d. volcanic gases
14. It’s normally follow the topography, sinking into depressions and valleys and flowing down the volcano.
a. lava flow b. volcanic gases c. lahar d. ash fall
15. It’s formed during explosive volcanic eruptions when dissolved gases in magma expand and escape violently into
the atmosphere.
a. ash fall b. lahar c. volcanic gases d. ballistic projectile

a. before b. during c. after
17. Do not go inside your house immediately because there are often aftershocks.
a. before b. during c. after
18. Use flashlights instead of open flames because it might create a spark that could cause fire if there is gas leak.
a. before b. during c. after
19. Attend earthquake drills. Schools conduct earthquake drills for students so that they will know what to do in case
of earthquake.
a. before b. during c. after

a. before b. during c. after
21. It’s a flowing thick mixture of volcanic sediments (from the pyroclastic materials) and water, usually triggered by
intense rainfall during typhoons, monsoons and thunderstorms.
22. Phenomena arising from volcanic activity that pose potential threat to persons or property in a given area within a
given period of time.
24. It consists of sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide which are poisonous and hazardous to organisms.
25. Showers of airborne fine- to coarse-grained volcanic particles that fallout from the plumes of a volcanic eruption;
ashfall distribution/ dispersal is dependent on prevailing wind direction.
27. Type of volcanoes that might explode without warning if the type of eruption is what is known as?
28. It’s a turbulent mass of ejected fragmented volcanic materials (ash and rocks), mixed with hot gases (200oC to
700oC to as hot as 900oC) that flow downslope at very high speeds (>60kph).
29. Volcanic materials directly ejected from the volcano’s vent with force and trajectory
30. Sea waves or wave trains that are generated by sudden displacement of water (could be generated during undersea
eruptions or debris avalanches).
43-46 Identify what precautionary measures of volcanic hazard does it belong.
43. Use masks and cover your mouth and nose to avoid breathing in ashes.
a. before b. during c. after
