NAME:_______________________________________ SCORE:__________________________

_________________________1. Elements of the physical environment, harmful to man and caused by forces extraneous to him.
___________________________2. Natural hazard such as smog or desertification that arise through the interaction
of natural processes and human activity.
________________________3. Hazards that arise directly as a result of human activities such as radiation, pesticides etc
________________________4. Hazard such as earthquakes or floods arise from purely natural processes in the
environment.
Classify the following hazards. Put them in the correct column.
Transportation Accident Ebola Virus Cyber Terrorism Nuclear Accidents
Rapid Glacier Advance Blizzard Avalanche Floods
Heat/Cold Stress Locusts Fire Volcanic Eruption
Tornadoes Landslides Hail Wave Action
Drought Tsunami Rabies HIV
BIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGIC GEOLOGIC AMOSPHERIC HYDROLOGIC

___________________________5. A serious disruption of the functioning of a society, causing widespread human, material,
or environmental losses which exceed the ability of the affected society to cope using its own resources.
________________________6. The extent to which a community can be affected by the impact of a certain hazard.
___________________________7. Those resources and strengths which exists in households and communities enabling
them to cope with, withstand, prepare for, mitigate or quickly recover from a disaster.
________________________8. It is the agency mandated to monitor earthquakes in the Philippines.
________________________9. The outermost layer of the earth that is broken into pieces.
________________________10. A natural phenomena brought about by slow butt powerful motions within the earth.
TRUE OR FALSE.
________________11. Sudden ground deformation produces seismic waves or earthquakes.
________________12. Magnitude and Intensity are closely synonymous.
________________13. The epicenter is the center of energy release during an earthquake.
________________14. There are at least 20 earthquakes recorded per day.
________________15. M 5 to 6 are "feeble shocks" where damages are not usually reported.
________________16. Intensity decreases with distance from source.
________________17. An aftershock cannot be stronger than the main shock.
________________18. Liquefaction is only a technological hazard.
________________19. Disaster risk = hazard x vulnerability – Capacity
________________20. A hazard turns into a disaster when people in the danger zones are vulnerable and do not have
the capacity to cope with the impact of the hazard.
