26
Q

A state, process, or instance of combustion in which fuel or other material is ignited and combined with oxygen, giving off light, heat, and flame

A

Fire

27
Q

Minerals in the rock were dissolved by water, leaving behind residue and voids.

This causes what?

A

Sinkhole

28
Q

What phase is this?

if the area where the fire is confined or when the fire consumes all the available fuel, fire slowly becomes less intense

A

Decay Phase

29
Q

True or False

Fire is not an element, it is a process

A

True

30
Q

Southwest Monsoon

A

Habagat

31
Q

What phase is this?

the three components of the fire triangle join together in a sustained chemical chain reaction

A

Ignition Phase

32
Q

Components of a fire tetrahedron

A

oxygen, fuel, heat, and chemical reactions

33
Q

It is created when material is removed from below the surface and the surface either collapses or gradually sinks into the resulting void

A

Sinkhole

34
Q

An atmospheric, hydrologic, or oceanic process or phenomena that has the potential to inflict death, serious injury, negative health effects, property damage, disruption of social and economic life, or environmental harm

A

Hydrometeorological Hazards

35
Q

Secondary, rotating clouds arranged in bands around the center

A

Rainbands

36
Q

A seasonal prevailing wind in the region of South and Southeast Asia

A

Monsoon

37
Q

Preparations for tropical cyclone

A

Making a plan
Preparing Emergency Supplies
Always be alert and prepared to evacuate
Be updated on the news

38
Q

The dirt and leftovers from the rock voids are removed by water.

This causes what?

A

Sinkhole

39
Q

Three components in the fire triangle

A

oxygen, fuel, and heat

40
Q

faulty electrical wiring

This causes what?

A

Fire

41
Q

October and April

Habagat or Amihan?

A

Amihan

42
Q

What phase is this?

the fire has gone over all available fuel and temperatures have reached their peak

A

Fully-developed Phase

43
Q

185 km/h or higher

A

Supertyphoon

44
Q

carelessness and accidents

This causes what?

A

Fire

45
Q

Northeast Monsoon

A

Amihan

46
Q

True or False

Fire is a combination of different elements

A

True

47
Q

Reduced groundwater levels have the potential to cause the soft material in the rock gaps to lose support, which could result in collapse

This causes what?

A

Sinkhole

48
Q

Give an effect of tropical cyclone

A

Loss of life
Damage to properties
Electricity interruption
Flooding
Strong winds, heavy rains, and storm surges
over the past 50 years, nearly one million people lost their lives because of tropical cyclones

49
Q

It is a closed, naturally occurring depression in the ground surface

A

Sinkhole

50
Q

It is caused by brief, intense downpours. It is typically stimulated by cumulative rainfall over extended periods of time

A

Rainfall-induced landslides

51
Q

The height of the water above the regular expected astronomical tide during a storm is an extraordinary rise in sea level. The winds from a storm pushing water onshore is what mostly causes the surge

A

Storm Surge

52
Q

What phase is this?

heat transfer via convection and radiation spread the heat, thereby igniting more surfaces

A

Growth Phase

53
Q

Parts of a tropical cyclone

A

Eye, eyewall, rainbands
