OBJECTIVE:
After going through the
lesson, you are expected to:
● Explain the causes and
effects of natural disasters
on humans and the
environment
1. It is a frightening funnel and a
swirling vortex!
FLASH NEWS!
2. It is a monstrous made from
overflowing rain!
3. It is a massive, watery crest
with incredible power!
4. It is a crust-shaking, seismic
seizure!
5. It is an intense, hot molten
mayhem with molten lava!
I BRING HARM. I LEAVE DEBRIS
AND A FEW SURVIVORS. WHAT
AM I?

catastrophic events
with atmospheric,

Disaster
defines it as “a natural process or
phenomenon that may cause loss of life, injury or
other health impacts, property damage, loss of
livelihoods and services, social and economic
disruption, or environmental damage”

imbalance in any part of the crust
of the earth. Other causes of
earthquakes occur due to volcanic
eruptions, faulting and folding, gaseous
expansion, and contraction inside the
earth
Effects of Earthquakes
Landslides – Landmasses
with weak foundations
cause landslides and
debris falls, which damage
settlements and transport
systems on the lower slope
segments
Effects of Earthquakes
Damage to Life and property - Structures
such as buildings, roads, rails, factories,
dams, and bridges suffer colossal damage
from earthquakes, thus causing a heavy
loss for both human life and property
Effects of Earthquakes
Damages to Government Infrastructure
– the various cities and towns are
worst affected due to a large
concentration of human population,
commercial complexes, and residential
areas.
Effects of Earthquakes
Fire Hazard – Severe fire outbreaks in
buildings, houses, and factories occur
when earthquakes produce strong
oscillations
Effects of Earthquakes
Landmass Deformation – Due to a
strong vibration produced by
earthquakes, the shapes of
landmasses are altered
Effects of Earthquakes
Tsunamis - The seismic waves caused
by the earthquakes traveling through
seawater, generate high sea waves,
and cause significant loss of life and
property.

Effects of Earthquakes
Flash Floods - Strong seismic
events result in the damages of
dams and cause severe flash
floods

TYPHOONS
Tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating
warm air and water created from a low
pressure area. It always forms over
oceans where sea surface temperature
is greater than 26 degrees Celsius.
TORNADO
TORNADO
a narrow, violently rotating
column of air that extends from
a thunderstorm to the ground.

Flooding
Floods
a relatively high flow of water discharged
from the river and stream network, which
sets the riverbank margins to overflow and
lead to the submerging of low land areas
surrounding the riverbed. It is essentially a
phenomenon.

Editor's Notes

  • #5 Identify the natural calamities described by the weather anchor on the local news. After you find out, unscramble the circled letters to answer the riddle.
  • #6 Identify the natural calamities described by the weather anchor on the local news. After you find out, unscramble the circled letters to answer the riddle.
  • #7 Identify the natural calamities described by the weather anchor on the local news. After you find out, unscramble the circled letters to answer the riddle.
  • #8 Identify the natural calamities described by the weather anchor on the local news. After you find out, unscramble the circled letters to answer the riddle.
  • #9 Identify the natural calamities described by the weather anchor on the local news. After you find out, unscramble the circled letters to answer the riddle.
  • #10 Identify the natural calamities described by the weather anchor on the local news. After you find out, unscramble the circled letters to answer the riddle.
  • #17 Today, warning facilities are already available, and by mitigation measures, loss of lives and properties can be minimized. The meteorological services around the world provide warnings to the public on some of the weather-related natural disasters.
  • #22 government agencies that the public can rely on. Since natural disasters cannot be prevented, taking proper long-term and short-term disaster mitigation measures can minimize life and property loss
  • #59 Floods arise from abnormally heavy rains, dam failures, snow melts, and river blockages. Flood disasters rank second only to droughts in the total number of people affected worldwide
