How did you identify the earth quake hasards in each location or place?
• In identifying earthquake hazards in locations like Gumatdang, Itogon, we analyze common vulnerabilities specific to each area.
This involves assessing factors such as proximity to fault lines, geological characteristics, human activities like mining, historical
seismic events, and building practices. For instance, hazards could include structural damage due to weak construction, ground
shaking and liquefaction in areas with loose soil, and the potential for landslides in mountainous area. By understanding these
factors, we can develop strategies to mitigate risks and enhance earthquake preparedness in each location.

Why are plates or locations prone to earthquake hazards? Explain your answer each location or place?
• Areas prone to earthquake hazards, like Gumatdang, Itogon, Benguet, are at risk due to their proximity to fault lines, geological
conditions, human activities like mining, historical seismic activity, and inadequate building practices. These factors contribute to
increased vulnerability, highlighting the importance of measures such as strict building codes and preparedness education to
mitigate risks.
