Lesson 3: Liquefaction
A.
1. Liquefaction is when ground behaves like liquid and this results from compaction of loose
sediments underneath during earthquake.
2. Fluids in pore spaces are squeezed out.
3. Loosely-consolidated, saturated sediments.
4. Liquefaction at depth
B.
1. They are compressed or compacted
2. Pasig, Manila
3. Denser infrastructure or more buildings in a certain area contributes to the weight of the
sediments.
C.
1. Liquefaction results from compaction of materials with loose sediments and pore saturated
pore spaces. Compact/dense materials are not prone to liquefaction.
C.
1. Earthquake- included follows an earthquake event, usually near the fault where the earthquake
originated.
Lesson 5: Tsunami
A.
1. Denser
2. Subducting plate
3. – prolonged, severe ground shaking
- Receding sea level or retreating ocean, exposing rocks, fish, and corals in the ocean
bottom
- Loud ‘roaring’ similar to the sound of a freight train or aircraft
- A huge incoming wall of water
B.
1. Tsunamis lose velocity as they move across lower water depths and this decrease in velocity
is compensated by an increase in amplitude or wave height
2. Tsunamis are detected by open-ocean buoys and tide gauges, which monitor and report any
changes in sea level. When a tsunami is observed to have passed that triggered the tide
stations, a tsunami warning is issued and evacuation procedures are then followed.
C.
1. Regional tsunamis affect a wide geographical area, typically within 1,000 km or 1-3 hours of
the wave travel time.
