1) Earthquakes are caused by the sudden displacement of rocks below the earth's surface. There are two main types: tectonic and volcanic. Tectonic earthquakes occur along fault lines at plate boundaries.
2) There are several earthquake hazards that can cause damage. Ground shaking can collapse buildings. Ground rupture and liquefaction occur along faults. Tsunamis are large sea waves caused by undersea earthquakes. Earthquake-induced landslides can occur on steep slopes.
3) The Philippines is at high risk of earthquakes due to its location in the Pacific Ring of Fire. Several active faults have generated destructive quakes in the past, including the 1990 Luzon earthquake. Ongoing
The document discusses tectonic plate processes and earthquakes. It describes how earthquakes occur at plate boundaries due to stresses from plate movements. Earthquakes at divergent boundaries pose little risk while those at convergent boundaries can be very hazardous, as seen in the 1985 Mexico City earthquake that killed over 10,000 people. The document also discusses earthquake measurement scales, the different types of seismic waves, and secondary hazards like tsunamis, landslides and liquefaction that can amplify earthquake damage.
Earthquake: A Tragedy to life and propertyVanshika Singh
An earthquake is the shaking of the Earth's surface caused by a sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere. This social science project discusses earthquakes, including what they are, their causes, effects, and protection against them. Some key points made are that earthquakes result from the movement of tectonic plates and built-up pressure being released. Their effects include ground shaking, ground ruptures, landslides, tsunamis, and fires. Protection involves earthquake-resistant building construction and safety precautions during shaking. Some of the deadliest earthquakes mentioned caused thousands of deaths, such as in Nepal in 2015 and Japan in 2011.
1) Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy stored along fault lines in the earth's crust due to the movement of tectonic plates.
2) The Philippines experiences over five earthquakes per day on average, with about 16 felt each year, including a magnitude 7.7 quake in 1990 that badly damaged areas in northern Luzon.
3) Major earthquakes are measured using scales like the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale or Richter Magnitude Scale, which quantify the shaking intensity and energy released.

An earthquake is a sudden shaking or trembling of the Earth's crust due to the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates and volcanic eruptions. Earthquakes can result in devastating effects like loss of lives and property from building collapses, economic impacts from infrastructure damage, landslides, and tsunamis. Safety measures during an earthquake include dropping, covering, and holding on if inside, and staying away from buildings if outside.
An earthquake occurs due to a sudden slip or movement along a fault line in the Earth's crust. This movement releases built-up energy in the form of seismic waves that travel outward from the hypocenter or focus of the earthquake. The intensity of shaking and damage is greater near the epicenter, which is the point on the surface directly above the focus. Earthquake magnitude measures the energy released while intensity scales describe the observed effects on people and structures. Large earthquakes can sometimes generate tsunamis when the sudden movement of underwater faults displace large volumes of water.

This document discusses geological hazards from earthquakes. It begins by defining objectives about earthquakes, then defines earthquakes and discusses theories for how they occur, including plate tectonics. It describes the different types of seismic waves and faults that happen during earthquakes. The document outlines various potential hazards from earthquakes like ground shaking, liquefaction, flooding, tsunamis and fires. It emphasizes that the major dangers to people are from collapsing structures. The document concludes by introducing the topic of precautionary and safety measures before, during and after earthquakes.
An earthquake is caused by a sudden release of energy in the earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes are primarily caused by the movement of tectonic plates deep underground. The location where the earthquake starts is called the hypocenter, and the point directly above on the surface is the epicenter. Earthquakes can cause significant damage through ground shaking, surface ruptures, landslides, liquefaction, tsunamis and fires. While earthquakes also lead to some benefits like forming natural springs and mineral resources, they typically have many negative effects such as damage to buildings and infrastructure, loss of lives, and economic impacts.
Here are some examples of geologic hazards that have occurred in the Philippines and how they affect people and the environment:
- Earthquakes - Cause ground shaking that can damage or collapse buildings and infrastructure, resulting in injuries and loss of life. Can also trigger other hazards like landslides, liquefaction, and tsunamis.
- Volcanic eruptions - Explosive eruptions eject hot ash and gas that can burn and bury nearby areas. Lahars (volcanic mudflows) can destroy communities. Long term eruptions release lava and gases that degrade air quality and soil fertility.
- Tsunamis - Large seismic sea waves can inundate coastal areas, destroying homes and drowning

Geohazards are natural hazards caused by geological processes of the Earth, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, landslides, and tsunamis. These events can cause significant loss of life and property damage when they occur. Some geohazards like volcanoes and cyclones may be predicted by monitoring warning signs like changes in gases, small earthquakes, and swelling of the volcano. Major earthquakes typically occur along fault lines and are followed by aftershocks. Volcanic eruptions pose hazards from pyroclastic flows, lahars, and tsunamis they can trigger. Landslides involve the breakdown and downhill movement of rock and debris. Tsunamis are gravity waves
Earthquakes are caused by both natural and human factors. Naturally, they result from the slow buildup of pressure along tectonic plate boundaries. Human causes include coal mining, construction of tall buildings, and dams. There are four main types of earthquakes classified by their origin. Earthquakes produce different types of seismic waves that cause damage. Mitigation efforts aim to reduce risks through regulations, education, and preparedness. At personal and government levels, precautions include earthquake-proof building techniques, emergency plans, and response coordination. Scientists study various prediction methods but cannot reliably forecast specific quakes. Developing countries often experience greater losses due to infrastructure and resources. Historic quakes in Haiti, San Francisco, and Chile caused
An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is is the shaking of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes can range in size from those that are so weak that they cannot be felt to those violent enough to the people around and destroy whole cities.

Team Boyles presented on geological hazards. They identified areas prone to hazards from earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides using hazard maps. The team described the different geological hazards including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides. They explained how hazard maps help identify vulnerable areas and their usefulness for disaster management.
Earthquakes are caused by movements within the Earth's crust or mantle. They originate at focal points and send shock waves to the epicenter, or point above the focal point on the surface. There are three types of waves produced - P waves, S waves, and surface waves. P waves are compressional waves that can travel through solids and liquids. S waves are shear waves that move sideways and can only travel through solids. Surface waves cause the most damage to buildings by making the ground rise and fall in circular motions. Together, these wave types are responsible for significant loss of life and property damage from earthquakes each year.
This document provides an introduction to earthquake resistant design. It discusses how adopting building codes with seismic design and construction requirements helps communities protect citizens from earthquakes. It also describes methods to construct earthquake resistant buildings, such as using base isolators with layers of rubber and steel to absorb earthquake energy. Engineers aim to increase structures' natural periods, install energy dissipating devices, and use reinforcement like securing buildings to foundations. The document outlines the basics of earthquake engineering and importance of minimizing earthquake impacts.

What Are Earthquake Hazards?
Ground Shaking:
Natural disasters are major adverse events caused by natural processes like earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, and hurricanes. They often result in loss of life, property damage, and economic losses depending on a population's resilience. Common natural disasters include tsunamis caused by earthquakes under the sea, tornadoes which are violent rotating columns of air, volcanic eruptions which produce lava and ash, earthquakes caused by faults in the earth's crust, and floods from overflowing water. Forest fires, landslides, avalanches, and cyclones are also types of natural disasters, while epidemics can spread disease among human populations on a large scale.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.
5. EARTHQUAKE
feeble shaking to
violent trembling of the
ground produced by the
sudden displacement of
rocks or rock materials
below the earth’s
surface.
6. 2 TYPES OF EARHQUAKE
Tectonic earthquakes
are those generated by
the sudden displacement
along faults in the solid
and rigid layer of the
earth.
9. 1. DIVERGENT BOUNDARIES
Occurs when two tectonic
plates move away from
each other.
Along these boundaries
Lava spews.
Frequent earthquakes
strike along the rift.
10. CONVERGENT BOUNDARIES
When two plates come
together
The impact of the two
colliding plates buckles
the edge of one or both
plates up into a rugged
mountain range
11. Sometimes bends the
other down into a deep
seafloor trench
A chain of volcano often
forms
Powerful earthquakes
shake a wide area on both
side of the boundary
12. TRANSFORM PLATE BOUNDARY
Two plates sliding past
each other.
Natural or human made
structures that cross a
transform boundary are off
set-split into pieces and
carried in opposite
directions.
13. Rocks that line the
boundary are pulverized as
the plates grind along
creating a linear fault valley
or undersea canyon.
As the plates alternately
jump against each other
erathquakes rattle.
15. FAULT
Fault- refers to a fracture,
fissure or a zone of weakness
or fracture of rock where
movement or displacement
has occurred or may occur
again
16. “active fault” if it has historical
and contemporary seismicity, has
evidence of fault slip based on
displaced rocks or soil units of
known age and displaced
landforms; an active fault is
defined as a fault which has
moved within the last 10,000
years
21. A. Strong ground shaking can cause objects to
fall, break windows among others.
B. Strong ground shaking can also result to
minor damages to buildings and worse, cause
collapse of a structure. (e.g. collapse of Hyatt
Hotel, Baguio City after the 16 July 1990
Luzon Earthquake).
C. Most part of the Philippines will experience
shaking at different degrees depending on
magnitude of earthquake, distance of one’s
location from the fault that moved, local below
surface conditions, etc)
23. This will be experienced by areas
where fault passes through (note not
all cracks on the ground that people
see after a strong earthquake are
faults, some may just be surficial
cracks because of ground failure)
B. The movement may have vertical
and horizontal component and may be
as small as less than 0.5 meters
(Masbate 1994 earthquake) to as big
as 6 meters (16 July 1990 Earthquake).
25. This is a series of giant sea waves
commonly generated by under-the-sea
earthquakes and whose heights could
be greater than 5 meters.
B. Examples of recent tsunami events
in the Philippines are the August 1976
Moro Gulf Earthquake and Tsunami
and the November 1994 Oriental
Mindoro Earthquake and Tsunami,
December 2004 Banda Aceh
Earthquake (Indonesia), and March
2011 Eastern Japan
26. LIQUEFACTION
is a 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.
27. As a result, any heavy
load on top of the sediment
body will either sink or tilt
as the sediment could no
longer hold the load, such
as what happened in
Dagupan City during the
16 July 1990 earthquake.
29. loose thin soil
covering on the slopes
of steep mountains are
prone to mass
movement, especially
when shaken during
an earthquake.
30. B. • Many landslides occur
as a result of strong ground
shaking such as those
observed on the
mountainsides along the
National Highway in Nueva
Ecija and the road leading
up to Baguio City during the
16 July 1990 earthquake.
33. based on what they
have learned so far,
think of your home,
what are the possible
impacts/ effects of the
5 earthquake hazards
to your home/s?
34. Ground Rupture (only if a fault
passes through my home) (Note: This
will be important for areas with
known presence of faults)
Ground shaking: Yes
Liquefaction (Note, only for areas
near rivers, coastal areas, underlain
by soft sediments or water-saturated
materials)
Earthquake-induced landslide (if my
home is near/ at the base or on the
slope of a mountain side)
Tsunami (if my home is near the
coast)
35. What are the potential
hazards that can affect me,
my home and my
community.
How?
Will I be affected by (check
all the will apply)
38. a zone of
weakness where
movement or
displacement has
occurred or may
occur again
39. ACTIVE FAULT
Any fault that is likely to
have another earthquake
sometime in the future
if they have moved one or
more times in the last 10,
000 years

“THE BIG ONE”
47. JAMES HUTTON
Father of modern geology
He believed that earth
was continuously being
formed
Because of his
contributions Geology was
established as a proper
science.
48. DR. RAYMUNDO PUNONGBAYAN
Director of PHILVOCS
from 1983 to 2002
He was known for 2
events
1. 1990 luzon earthquake
2. Mount pinatubo
eruption
49. He closedly monitored mount
pinatubo when it started to show
some volcanic ativity.
He constant remind the
residents of zambales, tarlac and
pampanga before the eruption.
He was able to show proof that
mount pinatubo was alive and
ready to blow up.
Because of this he saved a lot of
lives.
50. MMEIRS( METRO MANILA EARTHQUAKE
IMPACT REDUCTON STUDY )
Objectives
Evaluate seismic hazard ,

Prepare framework of master
plan for earthquake disaster
management
51. OPERATION METRO YAKAL
An operation to be followed
in case the “Big One” does
happen.
Metro will be divided into
quadrants, each with its own
designated areas for
evacuation.
53. According to United states
Geological Survey (USGS)
Earliest reference-373 BC
Rats, weasels snakes and centipedes
reportedly left their homes and
headed for safety days before a
destructive earthquake..
Evidence of animals, fish , birds,
reptiles and insects exhibiting
behavior strange behavior anywhere
from weeks to seconds before an
earthquake.
56. MAGNITUDE
A measure of earthquake size
with respect to the distance from
the earthquake origin
Measurement requires an
instrumental monitoring for its
calculation
57.
58. INTENSITY
Degree of shaking caused
by an earthquake at a
given place and decreases
with distance from the
earthquake origin or
epicenter
59. SEISMOGRAPH OR
SEISMOMETER
Measure the strength of
an earthquake.
A measuring instrument
that create the
seismogram..(a record of
the seismic waves from an
earthquake)
61. Priority:
To lessen the impact
a. Choose the area to build
infrastructures
b. Check the stability of objects
that are hung on walls or
inside caniets
