1. Name features that indicate the occurrence of debris avalanche.

- Debris avalanche deposits display a hummocky topography with numerous small hills and
closed depressions, longitudinal and transverse ridges, and locally homogeneous debris with a
jigsaw fit, features that are typical of landslide deposits.
2. What conditions must you look for to say that a volcano is ripe from an avalanches
triggered?
- Noticeable steaming or fumarolic activity and new or enlarged areas of hot ground. Subtle
swelling of the ground surface. Small changes in heat flow.
3. Describe a post-debris avalanche scenario where a housing area and commercial center
just beside the coastline used to be before being hit by a debris avalanches from a nearby
volcano.
- A debris avalanche rushes down the side of a volcano to the valley floor. Many such debris
avalanches transform into lahars and travel tens of kilometers from the volcano.
4. What is the best thing to do to ensure one’s safety from debris avalanche?
- Wear a helmet to help reduce head injuries and create air pockets. Wear an avalanche beacon to
help rescuers locate you. Use an avalanche airbag that may help you from being completely
buried. Carry a collapsible avalanche probe and a small shovel to help rescue others.

2. If you live right at


the foot of an active volcano, name the two volcanic hazards that pose the greatest threat to
your community. Justify your choices
- Tephra/Ash and Lava Flows.  Most tephra falls back onto the slopes of the volcano, enlarging it
and Lava flows are streams of molten rock that pour or ooze from an erupting vent.
3. What volcanic hazards occur between eruptive periods? How can the coming of lahars
be anticipated? What warning signs should you watch out for?
- Eruptions may trigger lahars by melting snow and ice or by ejecting water from a crater lake.
Pyroclastic flows can generate lahars when extremely hot, flowing rock debris erodes, mixes
with, and melts snow and ice as it travel rapidly down steep slopes.
4. What information from volcanic hazard maps can you use for the safety of your
community? How do the following establish probability of occurrence of individual
volcanic hazard?
a. volcanic hazard identification and mapping,
b. history of volcanic activity from study of outcrops; and
c. analysis of historical accounts of volcanic hazard occurrences and impacts.
- The main purpose of the monitoring is to learn when new magma is rising in the volcano that
could lead to an eruption
5. What precautionary and safety measures should you take before, during and after an
ash fall?
- Stay indoors. If outside, seek shelter (in a car or building). Use a mask, handkerchief or cloth
over your nose and mouth. If warning is given before ash fall starts, go home from work.
6. Now that you are aware of the volcanic products and dangers that go with these,
consider this time the economic reasons why people and businesses dwell within and close
to the reaches of volcanic dangers. Enumerate some of these economic volcanic products
and activities. Are the benefits worth the risks involved?
 Atmospheric cooling
 Land formation
 Water production
 Fertile land
 Geothermal energy
 Raw materials

Ana (not her real name) was suffering bullying and depression on her high school day,
there is a time when she want to kill herself to escape from reality but one day, she met a girl in
the park that was also in his situation. They became friends and treat each other a family. One
