WHAT IS
GEOHAZARD
MAP?
01
Geohazard maps are specialized maps that
highlight the hazard vulnerability of places.
These maps are essential for catastrophe
preparedness and management. MGB's
geohazard maps include information on areas
vulnerable to rain-induced landslides and
flooding.
WHY DO WE NEED TO INTERPRET
GEOHAZARD MAP?
Interpreting geohazard maps is vital for the data
are necessary to come up with interpretations
that will help in solving certain geologic
problems in the country.
MGB
Mines and Geosciences Bureau
The Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) is in
charge of mineral lands and resources
administration and disposition, as well as
geological, mining, metallurgical, chemical, and
other research, as well as geological and mineral
exploration surveys.
WHAT ARE THE
DIFFERENT
ELEMENTS OF
GEOHAZARD MAP?
A geological hazard map depicts the areas most
exposed to disasters such as:

Venus
It’s the closest planet to the Venus has a beautiful name
Sun and the smallest one in and is the second planet
the Solar System from the Sun
EARTHQUAKE An earthquake occurs when the Earth's plates
shift, causing a violent shaking of the ground
that can last anywhere from a few seconds to
several minutes. Mild initial shaking might
quickly intensify and become violent.
Earthquakes can strike at any time of year and
without notice. California, Hawaii, Nevada,
and Washington, in particular, are more prone
to earthquakes than other states.
Earthquakes are fairly common, and they
happen every day somewhere in the world.
The great majority, however, are regarded as
minor. In 2015, the United States Geological
Survey recorded more than 3,000
earthquakes.
VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS
A volcano is a mountain that functions as a vent for molten
rock and other gases. An eruption happens when the
pressure from the gas and molten rock gets too strong.
Volcanic eruptions can be quiet or violent, resulting in
dangerous lava flows, toxic fumes, and flying rocks and ash.
Venus
A volcanic eruption occurs when a volcano releases lava
Venus is the second and gas, sometimes explosively. A 'glowing avalanche,'
planet from the Sun which occurs when newly erupted lava slides down the
flanks of a volcano, is the most deadly sort of eruption.
They have the ability to travel swiftly and reach
temperatures of up to 1,200°F. Disturbances in the natural
stability of a slope generate landslides
LANDSLIDE
Disturbances in the natural stability of a slope generate
landslides. They may occur in conjunction with severe
rainfall or as a result of droughts, earthquakes, or volcanic
eruptions. Mudslides occur when water accumulates
quickly in the ground, causing a surge of water-soaked
rock, earth, and debris. Mudslides are frequently triggered
by natural calamities and start on steep slopes. During
and after heavy rains, areas where wildfires or human
modification of the land have killed vegetation on slopes
are particularly prone to landslides.
