6. STORM
A storm is a disturbance in the
atmosphere, or air. Thunderstorms,
tornadoes, and tropical cyclones are
powerful and sometimes dangerous
types of storms. People also use
the word storm to describe strong
winds or other forms of severe
weather.
7. A typhoon differs from a cyclone
or hurricane only on the basis of
location. A hurricane is
a storm that occurs in
the Atlantic Ocean and
northeastern Pacific Ocean, a
typhoon occurs in the
northwestern Pacific Ocean, and
a cyclone occurs in the south
Pacific or Indian Ocean.
16. Strongest typhoon in the
Philippines?
The previous record-holder for the
strongest tropical cyclone ever
recorded anywhere on Earth—by
wind speed—was Super
Typhoon Haiyan, which struck
the Philippines with satellite-
estimated, one-minute sustained
winds of 195 MPH.
17. Typhoon Haiyan, known
as Super Typhoon
Yolanda in the
Philippines, was one of
the most intense tropical
cyclones on record. On
making landfall, Haiyan
devastated portions of
Southeast Asia,
particularly the
Philippines.

19. What is a Storm Surge?
a rising of the sea as a result
of atmospheric pressure
changes and wind associated
with a storm.
an abnormal rise in the level
of the sea along a coast
caused by the onshore winds
of a severe cyclone or storm.

22. Why did I show you those
videos?
Disasters are indeed happening and have
been happening since we don’t know when.
It had been killing people all over the
world.
23. The Risk of Earthquake, Volcanic
Eruptions, Tsunami in the
Philippines
• The Philippines is situated along a highly
seismic area lying along the Pacific Ring of Fire
• Risk report published by United Nations
University and the Institute of Environment and
Human Security, looking into 4 components of
risk (exposure, susceptibility, coping and
adaptive capacities, PHILIPPINES IS THE
THIRD MOST DISASTER RISK COUNTRY
WORLDWIDE

24. Pacific Ring of Fire
The Pacific Ring of Fire has more
exploding volcanoes and great
earthquakes than any other place
on Earth. This 25,000 mile ribbon
of land and water is home to 75% of
the world's active and dormant
volcanoes. Earthquakes are
common in the Ring of Fire where
80% of the great earthquakes on
our planet occur.
26. Earthquake
An Earthquake is a sudden
tremor or movement of the
earth's crust, which
originates naturally at or
below the surface. Usually
caused by tectonic or volcanic
activity.

EARTHQUAKE ACTIVITY IN THE PHILIPPINES
39. Dashed line: Fault trace is approximate
Fault whose precise location on the ground cannot be delineated
because erosion, human activity, etc. have erased their traces.
Dotted line: Fault trace is concealed
Fault trace is concealed on the ground by
recent sediment deposits. Usually across
rivers and river deposits, landslide deposits.

41. The West Valley Fault has the potential of
generating a devastating magnitude 7.2
earthquake in Metro Manila and nearby
provinces.
Phivolcs director Renato Solidum warned the
West Valley Fault, which traverses parts of Metro
Manila and adjoining provinces of Bulacan,
Laguna, Rizal and Cavite, is ripe for a possible
strong earthquake.
Solidum said “It can happen within our lifetime,”.
He also said that the West Valley Fault moves
every 400 to 600 years. The last time it moved, he
said, was in 1658 or 359 years ago.
