(69 cards)
a feeble shaking to violent trembling of the ground produced by the sudden displacement of rocks or rock materials below the earth’s surface.
Earthquake
generated by the sudden displacement along faults in the solid and rigid layer of the earth.
Tectonic earthquakes
earthquakes induced by rising lava or magma beneath active volcanoes
Volcanic earthquakes
refers to the amount of energy released, measured by the amount of ground displacement or shaking
Magnitude
strength of an earthquake as perceived and felt by people in a certain locality.
Intensity
4 Major Faults in Nueva Ecija: Nueva Ecija has 4 major faults:
Digdig Fault line
San Jose Fault
and 2 unnamed faults
Classification of Earthquake Effects:
Primary Effects and Secondary Effects
disruptive up-down and sideways movement or motion experienced during an earthquake
Ground Shaking
displacement on the ground due to movement of fault.
Ground Rupture
process that transforms the behavior of a body of sediments from that of a solid to that of a liquid when subjected to extremely intense shaking.
Liquefaction
failures in steep or hilly slopes triggered by an earthquake
Earthquake Included Landslide
Even moderate ground shaking can break gas and electrical lines, sever fuel lines, and overturn stoves. To further complicate things, water pipes rupture, so it would be impossible to extinguish
Fires
sea waves resulting from the disturbance of ocean floor by an earthquake
Tsunami
A tsunami is a Japanese word meaning “_____________”. It is a sea waves resulting from the disturbance of ocean floor by an earthquake
Harbor waves
is commonly generated by disturbances associated with earthquakes occurring below or near the ocean floor.
tsunami
The increase in wave heights associated or during typhoons (when there are strong winds) or tropical cyclones are called
storm surges
done by effective instrumentation in order to determine the location, strength and frequency of earthquakes.
Effective Recording and Interpretation of Ground Motion
It serves as basis for disaster management information like locations for evacuation and evacuation routes.
Constructing Seismic Hazard Maps
shows the potential hazards in a given area.
Seismic hazard map
able to withstand collapse by redistributing forces caused by seismic waves
through shear walls. Following building codes based on hazard maps or by appropriate methods of analysis
Developing Resistant Structures
highlights areas that are affected by or are vulnerable to a particular hazard. They are typically created for natural hazards, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, flooding and tsunamis. Hazard maps help prevent serious damage and deaths
Hazard Map
This will give you the proper direction. This is also called it “orientation.”
Compass rose
It tells what the map is about.
