Geologic hazards - are geological processes that may cause the loss of lives, injuries,
damage to property, social and economic disruption as it may result in
the loss of livelihood, or environmental damage.
Debris - is rubble, wreckage, ruins, litter and discarded garbage/refuse/trash, scattered
remains of something destroyed.
Eruption - The ejection of molten rock, steam, as from a volcano or geyser.
Fumarolic -The steam forms when superheated water boils as its pressure drops when it
emerges from the ground.
Geology - The science that deals with the dynamics and physical history of the earth, the
rocks of which it is composed, and the physical, chemical, and biological
changes that the earth has undergone or is undergoing.
Map - is a symbolic representation of selected characteristics of a place, usually
drawn on a flat surface.
Mitigation -Is the act of lessening or easing the harshness of a punishment, a fine, or
someone's pain. In the legal world, a lawyer might ask a judge for mitigation of a
Avalanche - These are masses of snow, ice, and rocks that fall rapidly down a
mountainside. They can be deadly.
Earthquake - It is caused by the sudden release of slowly accumulating strain energy
along a fault within the earth's crust.
Folds - These are another kind of geologic feature you'll find on the map, and these
are features such as basins and domes.
geological features - These are things like faults, tilts, folds, and rock layers. And just like any other type of map, geologic maps have special symbols, lines, and colors
that
help identify each type of feature.
Hydrometeorological hazards - are caused by extreme meteorological and climate events such as
floods, droughts, hurricanes, tornadoes, landslides, or mudslides.
Barometer - is a scientific instrument that is used to measure air
pressure in a certain environment.
Hazard - is a potential source of harm. Substances, events, or circumstances
can constitute hazards when their nature would allow them, even just
theoretically, to cause damage to health, life, property, or any other
interest of value.
Hydrology - is the science that encompasses the study of water on the Earth's
surface and beneath the surface of the Earth.
Meteorological - relating to the branch of science concerned with the processes and
phenomena of the atmosphere, especially as a means of forecasting
the weather.
Phenomena - a fact, occurrence, or circumstance observed or observable: to study
the phenomena of nature, something that is impressive or extraordinary.
A remarkable or exceptional person; prodigy; wonder.
Typhoon - is a low-pressure area, or a wide and violent tropical cyclone. It rotates
in the counterclockwise direction, with warm air rising above Western
Pacific Ocean warm water.
Flood - is characterized as superfluous water that swamps normally dry land
Pacific Ocean warm water.
La Niña – represents periods of under-average sea surface temperatures across
the Equatorial Pacific in the east-central.
El Niño - refers to the large-scale ocean-atmosphere climate interaction linked to
a regular warming of sea surface temperatures around the Equatorial
Pacific region and east-center.
Thunderstorm - is local storm created by cumulonimbus clouds and are often
accompanied by lightning and thunder, usually with strong wind gusts,
heavy rain and occasionally hail and/or tornado.
Storm Surge - is an abnormal rise in sea level during tropical cyclones or "bagyo".
Fire - is the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of
combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products.
Hazard - A hazard is a potential source of harm.
Fire Triangle - represents the three elements needed for fire to occur; heat, fuel, and oxygen.
Fire tetrahedron - Is a triangular pyramid, a visual aid that reminds us of the four important
ingredients required to initiate and sustain a fire.
Oxidation - used to describe reactions in which an element combines with oxygen.
Backdraft - an explosion that occurs when oxygen is rapidly introduced into a superheated,
but oxygen-poor, confined space.
Haphazardly - characterized by lack of order or planning, by irregularity, or by randomness.
Combustible - a material than can be easily ignited and burned.
Kaingin - a farming system based on shifting, or slash and burn clearing of forest for the
planting of agricultural and agro-forestry crops.
Wildfire - A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in a natural area such as a forest,
grassland, or prairie.
Fuel, Heat, Oxidizing Agent, - four important ingredients required to initiate and sustain fire which requires
Conduction - Involves direct contact substances, typically solids, for heat to be transferred.
Convection - Involves the flow of liquids and gases in the transfer of heat. When liquids and
gases are heated, they expanded.
Radiation - Is a manner of heat transfer that involves only electromagnetic waves, like
sunlight, or in case the fire - flame.
Incipient Stage - At this stage, all four requirements for a fire have been combined.
Growth Stage - the shortest of the four stages, it takes place when heat releases rate increases
of the burning of additional fuel.
Fully-developed fire Stage - fire has consumed almost all of the available combustible material.
Decay stage - lasts longest, takes place when oxygen and fuel begin to diminish.
Disaster risk reduction (DRR) - is a term used for reducing and preventing disaster risks.
Disaster– A serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society
Disaster risk – The potential disaster losses, in lives, health status, livelihoods, assets and services
MULTIMEDIA - Is a combination of text, animated graphics, video and sound delivered to you via electronic
means. It is what appeals to users for entertainment, learning and research.
