Disaster Readiness Week 6

A mountain where lava comes from a magma chamber.

Hot, liquid rock located beneath the Earth's surface.

A type of volcano with broad, gently sloping sides made from fluid lava flows.

A tall, conical volcano built of layers of hardened lava and ash, often explosive.

A large crater formed after a volcano erupts and collapses.

A type of rock formed from cooled lava, often found in shield volcanoes.

Fragments of volcanic rock and ash ejected during an eruption.

A measure of a fluid's thickness; high viscosity means stickier lava.

A phenomenon of ash and pyroclastics during volcanic eruptions, observed in eruptions like Mt.Fukutoku-Okanoba.

A type of eruption characterized by weak to violent lava fountains, exemplified by Mt.Irazu in Costa Rica.

An eruption characterized by tall columns of ash and pyroclastic flow, reaching up to 20 km high, like Mt.Paricutin in Mexico.

An extremely explosive volcanic eruption that releases gas and pyroclastics, with examples like Mt.Pinatubo.

Includes Mt.Mayon, Taal Volcano, and others, with defined last erupted times and historical eruptions.

Volcanoes that have emptied their magma chambers and sunk, often forming lakes.

A large volcanic crater formed by a major eruption, resulting in the collapse of the volcano.

Volcanoes that are currently erupting or have erupted in the last 10,000 years.

Volcanoes that are currently inactive but have the potential to erupt again in the future.

Volcanoes that have not erupted in the past 10,000 years and are unlikely to erupt again.

The process when one tectonic plate moves under another, leading to magma formation.

A steam-driven eruption occurring when hot rocks contact water.

A violent eruption caused by the interaction of water and magma.

The 2nd largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century, located in Zambales, Philippines.

Gases released during eruptions that can be toxic, affecting vegetation and human health.

A volcanic gas that can be lethal in low-lying areas, posing threats to people and animals.

A destructive flow of volcanic sediments and water, often triggered by intense rainfall.

Large rock fragments ejected with great force during a volcanic eruption.

A fast-moving, high-density mix of hot gas, ash, and lava from a volcanic eruption.

Falling ash that can harm health, disrupt communities, and damage infrastructure.

A system categorizing the activity level of a volcano, informing public actions.

A predetermined strategy for families to follow during emergencies, such as volcanic eruptions.

Designated locations for people to go during a volcanic eruption for safety.

Actions to take during a volcanic eruption, such as staying indoors and listening to updates.

Actions like closing windows and wearing masks to prevent ash inhalation.

Ensuring all food is cooked well post-eruption to avoid illness from contaminated ash.

Recommendation that only adults inspect homes for safety after evacuation.

Immediate removal of ash from surfaces after it has settled to prevent damage.

No alert indicating a quiet volcano with no imminent eruption.

Low level unrest indicating that no eruption is imminent, but unusual activity is present.

Moderate unrest indicating increasing volcanic activity, possibly leading to an eruption.

High unrest indicating magma is near the crater, increasing the chance of an eruption.

Intense unrest signaling that a hazardous eruption is possible within days.

An area around a volcano where permanent habitation is not recommended due to hazards.

Maps that show potential volcanic hazards like lava flows and ash fall, indicating safe and dangerous areas.

Actions taken to mitigate risks before, during, and after a volcanic eruption to ensure safety.
