Chapter 1 & chapter 2 living with tectonic hazards gateway 3 2016 slides
Preparedness measures like land use regulations, building design, infrastructure development, and emergency drills can help respond to earthquakes, but the appropriate measures depend on factors like affordability, education, resources, and applicability. Short-term responses to earthquakes include search and rescue, medical aid, emergency shelters, and calling for international aid. Long-term responses aim to improve infrastructure, compensate losses, ensure economic recovery, and manage health impacts. There is no single solution as each disaster situation is different and requires dealing with available resources.
Faults in the Philippine Setting

Tectonics GW 2 Slides (Part 3)
Earthquakes occur along plate boundaries and release seismic energy that can cause significant damage. The extent of damage depends on factors like population density, preparedness level, distance from the epicenter, time of occurrence, and soil type. Earthquakes pose several risks such as triggering tsunamis, disrupting services, causing landslides, destroying property and infrastructure, and loss of lives. The distribution of earthquakes corresponds to plate tectonics, with most occurring at convergent boundaries due to high stress levels.
Geography minor hazards by ajohn
Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. They occur most frequently along plate boundaries. The magnitude of an earthquake is measured on the Richter scale, with higher magnitudes indicating more intense shaking. Earthquakes endanger human lives and cause extensive damage to structures and infrastructure. They disrupt vital systems and can damage economies. Haiti's 2010 earthquake which killed over 250,000 people and left 1.2 million homeless is a prime example of the devastating human and economic impacts of a major seismic event. Proper building codes and preparedness measures can help mitigate earthquake hazards.
Fault (Science 8)
This document discusses different types of faults in the Earth's crust. It describes dip-slip faults as occurring at an angle of 45-65 degrees with the surface, including normal faults where the hanging wall moves down and reverse faults where the hanging wall moves up. Strike-slip faults involve lateral movement along the fault line in either a left-lateral or right-lateral direction. Oblique faults combine dip-slip and strike-slip movement. Active faults are those which have moved within the last 10,000 years and are likely to produce future earthquakes.
Earthquake
This document provides information about earthquakes, including:
1. The key learning objectives are to recognize what earthquakes are, investigate their causes, describe how they are measured, and illustrate prevention methods.
2. Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy from tectonic plate movement along faults in the Earth's crust. They can be measured using seismographs which detect seismic waves.
3. Safety tips during earthquakes include staying away from windows and heavy objects, taking cover under a sturdy table, and staying indoors until the shaking stops.
G10 plate tectonics
This document discusses plate tectonic theory and provides examples of evidence that supports it. It describes the three main types of plate boundaries: convergent where plates move toward each other, divergent where they move apart, and transform where they slide past each other. Examples of tectonic activity occurring at boundaries are provided, such as volcanoes and earthquakes. Diagrams show the process of seafloor spreading at divergent boundaries and how convection currents in the mantle drive plate movements globally.
The Earth¨S Struct Ii]
Faults are fractures in rock where one side has moved relative to the other. There are three main types of faults: dip-slip, where one side moves up or down; strike-slip, where one side moves horizontally; and oblique-slip, which is a combination of the two. Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy along faults. While most quakes are minor, major ones can cause significant damage. Protecting buildings from earthquake damage through careful engineering can help reduce risks to people. Volcanoes form when magma rises to the surface through openings and erupts. They can be active, dormant, or extinct based on current activity levels. Supervolcanoes are the largest type of volcano

Earthquake Engineering 2012 Lecture 0101 Introduction
This document discusses earthquake engineering and defines its key terms. Earthquake engineering is the branch of engineering focused on mitigating earthquake hazards. It involves investigating earthquake problems, developing solutions, and applying those solutions through earthquake-resistant planning, design, construction and management. The document defines an earthquake and lists various sources of ground movements. It also outlines several seismic hazards caused by earthquakes, such as building and bridge collapses, landslides, fires and slope failures. Specific examples of failures from past earthquakes are also shown.

Towards Pre-Earthquake Planning for Post-Earthquake Recovery 2015-2020Professor Eric K. Noji, M.D., MPH, DTMH(Lon), FRCP(UK)hon
As we begin the year 2015, we must unfortunately recognize that it is well past the time to speed up the long-term recovery process for earthquakes (and tsunamis). The main insights from global earthquakes have consistently shown that being prepared includes pre-earthquake planning for post-earthquake recovery ("PEPPER"). Only about 110 of the 10 million earthquakes of all sizes that occur somewhere in the world each year are large enough and close enough to a community to cause a disaster, which creates a multitude of local and regional dilemmas about what to do, both before and after the quake, to shorten the recovery process. THE SOLUTION: PRE-EARTHQUAKE PLANNING FOR POST-EARTHQUAKE RECOVERY(PEPPER). “THE END GAME” FOR JAPAN AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA: Identification of the physical, social and economic consequences of a major earthquake in Tokai, Japan or Southern California will enable end users to identify what they can change now before the earthquake—to shorten recovery from the catastrophic impacts after the inevitable “big ones” occur, probably in the near future.Earthquakes A2 Hazards
Earthquakes originate from a sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. The majority occur at depths less than tens of kilometers deep, though some in subduction zones can occur up to 700 km deep. Most earthquakes happen along the 40,000 km long horseshoe-shaped circum-Pacific seismic belt known as the Ring of Fire, which bounds the Pacific Plate, or along other tectonic plate boundaries like the Himalayas. The Richter scale is used to measure the magnitude of earthquakes on a base-10 logarithmic scale, where each whole number increase corresponds to a tenfold increase in measured amplitude but a 32-fold increase in energy release.
Volcanoes
The document discusses ways for an individual to prepare for and assist with disasters caused by earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. It also examines the relationship between the locations of volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and mountain ranges based on plate tectonic theory. Specific recommendations include demonstrating preparedness techniques and contributing to government efforts to reduce damage from these natural hazards.
Lesson 4 earthquakes
1. Earthquakes are caused by movements in the Earth's crust along fault lines and plate boundaries. The most severe earthquakes typically occur at destructive and conservative plate boundaries.
2. Scientists can measure earthquakes using seismographs, which detect seismic waves. The Richter scale is used to quantify the magnitude or strength of an earthquake based on the seismograph recording.
3. In addition to the Richter scale, the Mercalli scale is used to describe the intensity or amount of damage caused by an earthquake based on observations of its effects.
Earthquakes and faults
An earthquake is caused by the sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Faults in the Earth's surface develop from movement or displacement of rock and are zones of weakness where earthquakes can occur. There are three main types of faults - strike-slip, normal, and reverse - which are defined by the movement of the rock on either side. Seismographs use a pendulum that remains fixed while the ground moves beneath it to record the intensity and duration of seismic waves, including primary P waves, secondary S waves, and surface L waves, generated by earthquakes.
Earthquake Engineering 2012 Lecture 0102 Nature of Earthquakes
The document discusses the causes and effects of earthquakes. It explains that earthquakes are primarily caused by the sudden movement of tectonic plates. Specifically, they occur at plate boundaries where the plates meet. Earthquakes can also be caused by volcanic activity or human activities like underground explosions. The document also describes different types of faults like normal, thrust and strike-slip faults. Finally, it outlines various ways that earthquakes can damage structures like through inertial forces, induced fires, liquefaction, fault displacement, landslides and tsunamis.
Reducing the impacts of volcanoes
Predicting volcanic eruptions allows time for evacuation, reducing injuries and deaths. Planning avoids development in high risk areas and prepares emergency responses. Building techniques can strengthen structures against ash or divert lava. Educating the public about evacuation and survival kits helps people get to safety. International aid for poorer countries lessens eruption impacts like hunger.
G10 earthquakes
This document provides information about earthquakes. It begins by defining key earthquake terms like epicenter, hypocenter, foreshocks, aftershocks, and magnitude. It then explains that earthquakes are caused by the sudden slipping of fault blocks within the earth, as the plates of the earth's crust shift. The document discusses how seismographs are used to measure and locate earthquakes by recording seismic waves. It also describes the different scales used to measure earthquake size and intensity. Finally, it provides references for additional information.
5.earthquake xi
The document discusses earthquakes, including their causes, measurement, effects, and zones of risk. Some key points:
- Earthquakes are caused by movement of tectonic plates and faults in rocks. Their magnitude is measured on the Richter Scale and their intensity by the Mercalli scale.
- Seismic waves transmit earthquake energy and are used to locate epicenters. The major earthquake zones are the Pacific Ring of Fire, Alpide Belt, and Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
- India has five seismic zones of risk. Zone V including Kashmir and Northeast India faces the highest risk, while Zone I including parts of central India faces the lowest risk.
Connecting earthquakes and faults
An earthquake is also defined as the sudden slip of one part of the Earth's crust, relative to another, along a fault surface.
Dangerous volcanoes
The document discusses 11 volcanoes around the world that are considered especially dangerous due to their location near large population centers and history of large, explosive eruptions. These volcanoes include Eyjafjallajökull and Katla in Iceland; Chaiten in Chile; Krakatoa in Indonesia; Merapi in Indonesia; Vesuvius in Italy; Pinatubo in the Philippines; Mount Rainier in the USA; Nevada del Ruiz in Colombia; Popocatepetl in Mexico; and Nyirangongo in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The re-eruption of any of these 11 volcanoes could be locally, regionally, and globally devastating due to loss of life and property
Earthquake Prediction
Scientists aim to predict, protect from, and prepare for earthquakes by monitoring seismic activity, animal behavior, and structural changes. Effective preparation includes developing early warning systems, coordinating emergency response plans, and educating the public on safety precautions. Engineers design earthquake-resistant buildings using techniques like base isolation, bracing, and damping to minimize structural damage and risks to occupants.
Tectonics GW 3 Slides (Part 1)
Earthquake Preparedness Measures:
1. Land use regulation
2. Earthquake resistant infrastructure
3. Emergency drills
4. Earthquake monitoring and warning
5. Tsunami monitoring and warning
Managing Earthquakes
The document discusses five methods to reduce the impacts of earthquakes: 1) Planning infrastructure locations away from quake-prone areas, 2) Designing quake-resistant buildings using techniques like base isolators and shear walls, 3) Strengthening existing structures by adding steel frames, 4) Providing education through drills and signs, and 5) Monitoring earthquakes using seismometers to warn people of impending quakes and allow for evacuation. Each method is described along with examples and limitations. The overall message is that a variety of approaches can help mitigate earthquake damage by considering location, design, reinforcement, preparedness, and early warning systems.

Secondary Three Geography- Earthquake Preparedness Measures
This document discusses various methods to reduce the impacts of earthquakes, including:
1. Implementing land use regulations to restrict building in prone areas and control infrastructure development.
2. Using advanced building design with features like base isolators, cross-bracing, and shear walls to strengthen structures.
3. Developing earthquake-resistant infrastructure through reinforcement and use of fireproof materials.
4. Conducting regular emergency drills to educate people on evacuation procedures.
5. Investing in monitoring systems using seismometers to detect tremors and warn communities of impending quakes.
What is a chemical reaction
Emergency management involves preparing for, responding to, and recovering from both natural and human-made disasters. It relies on coordination between different levels of government and organizations. Effective emergency plans address communication, emergency services training, public warning systems, shelters, and stockpiling supplies. Earthquakes occur due to shifting tectonic plates underground and preparedness involves finding safe places away from buildings during shaking. Floods can result from heavy rain or dam/levee breaches and indicators of possible flooding include heavy rainfall and water accumulation. Preparedness includes maintaining drainage, street cleaning, and rainwater harvesting to reduce flooding impacts. Fires can start from electrical issues, cooking, or smoking and preparedness involves proper use and maintenance of different
Human Response To Earthquake
1. The document discusses human responses to earthquake hazards, including monitoring, prediction, preparedness, and short- and long-term reactions.
2. It describes ways that hazards are perceived and responses are classified, including fatalism, adaptation, and fear. Management approaches include prediction, prevention, protection, and insurance/aid.
3. Specific measures to reduce earthquake impacts are discussed, such as hazard-resistant structures, education, fire prevention, emergency services, land use planning, and insurance. Comparative studies of earthquake events in different economic contexts are also addressed.

Regular drills are emphasized to prepare the school community for earthquake emergencies.
Disaster mitigation
Computer-mediated communication is being used in all phases of disaster management including preparation, response, recovery, and mitigation. However, the internet has only been used to a limited extent for disaster management and prevention. Geospatial techniques like remote sensing, GIS, and geophysics can help minimize destruction from natural disasters. These techniques have short term and long term response, recovery, and rehabilitation components. Engineers play important roles in disaster management through designing earthquake resistant structures, seismic evaluation of buildings, classifying damaged structures, and proposing repair methods.

Disaster earth quake rescue and relief assessment
This document summarizes a case study on emergency response and relief efforts for earthquakes. The study examined the response to a 1934 earthquake in Kathmandu, Nepal. It found that over 80% of buildings in the area did not comply with building codes and were poorly constructed, exacerbating earthquake damage. The study recommends a long-term disaster management program with a focus on preparedness through public education and capacity building. Activities should aim to incorporate the special needs of vulnerable groups like women, children, the elderly and disabled. Adoption of earthquake-resistant building standards is also emphasized.
Predicting volcnic activity
Volcanologists use various monitoring techniques to study warning signs and predict volcanic eruptions, including seismometers to detect earthquakes, thermal imaging to detect heat changes, and gas sensors to measure sulfur levels. Preparing for eruptions involves creating exclusion zones, evacuation plans, emergency supplies, communication systems, and funds to deal with the emergency. While earthquakes cannot be predicted as accurately, monitoring includes detecting plate movements, vibrations, and radon gas levels, but planning and preparation are still important through education, emergency kits, earthquake-proof infrastructure, and road/bridge designs.

Sec 1 geog unit 4 lesson 4
There are two main categories of factors that can cause water shortages: demand factors and supply factors. Demand factors that lead to increased water usage include population growth, as more people need water, and affluence, as wealthier populations consume more water through their lifestyles. Supply factors that affect water availability include seasonal rainfall patterns, which can cause dry seasons in some areas, as well as climate change impacts like changing rain intensities and timing. Water pollution also reduces total water supply by contaminating sources so they can no longer be used by humans.
Sec 1 geog unit 4 lesson 5
Water shortage is a serious global problem that impacts populations in several ways. Over 1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water, especially in less developed countries where 1 in 5 people do not have reliable access. Water shortage can result from irregular supply, drought, and high agricultural usage. It leads to domestic water rationing, reduced agricultural yields and food shortages. It also increases industrial costs and prices when fresh water becomes more scarce and expensive. Countries sharing river sources can experience political conflicts over water access and dam construction that disrupts downstream supply.

Degenerative diseases like heart disease, cancer, and strokes cause more deaths in developed countries compared to developing countries, where infectious diseases are a larger problem. Degenerative diseases are linked to lifestyle and longevity, while infectious diseases spread more easily in developing countries due to poverty, poor diet, and limited healthcare. The document considers whether increased longevity from better medical care in developed countries paradoxically leads to more degenerative and infectious diseases over time.
Sec 1 geog unit 4 lesson 2
The document provides information about global water distribution and sources. It states that 71% of the Earth's surface is covered in water, most of which is salt water in oceans. Only 2.8% of the Earth's water is fresh water. The main sources of fresh water globally are groundwater stored underground, ice caps and glaciers, rivers, and lakes. Many countries currently face water shortages due to limited access to fresh water sources.
Sec 1 geog unit 4 lesson 1
The document discusses water supply and shortage. It begins by introducing the hydrological cycle, in which water continuously circulates between the earth's surface and atmosphere in solid, liquid, and gas forms. It then outlines the main uses of fresh water for industry, domestic use, and agriculture. The document defines water shortage as occurring when water usage exceeds the available supply. It explores factors like population growth, agriculture, and industry that can contribute to water shortage in different locations. Finally, it discusses Singapore's strategies to avoid facing water shortage challenges.
