Study Notes
Environmental Science - Quarter 3, Module 2
- This module explains the causes and effects of natural disasters on humans and their environment.
- The module follows the standard course sequence.
- Students are expected to understand the causes and effects of natural disasters on humans and the environment.
What I Need to Know
- The module is designed to help students learn about natural disasters and their effects.
- The language used is appropriate for different learning levels.
What I Know (page 6)
- Students are to create an information chart about natural disasters.
- The chart should include an introduction, information sheet on earthquakes, floods, typhoons, and volcanic eruptions.
- A concluding statement should be included.
Lesson 1: Causes and Effects of Natural Disasters (page 7)
- Students learned about pollutants in a previous lesson.
- Pollutants harm the environment and humans.
What's New (page 8)
- Natural disasters can be categorized as natural or man-made.
- Common natural disasters include thunderstorms, severe rainfalls, cyclones, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and floods.
- Natural disasters lead to loss of life and destruction of property.
What Is It (page 9)
- Natural disasters have atmospheric, geological, and hydrological origins.
- UNISDR definitions include loss of life, injury, damage to property, loss of livelihoods, and environmental damage.
- Mitigation measures can minimize loss.
- Philippines has resources like PAGASA and PHIVOLCS for warnings.
- Some common disasters include floods and are due to excessive water in rivers and streams overflowing banks.
Cause of Earthquakes (page 11)
- Earthquakes occur due to an imbalance in the Earth's crust.
- Other causes include volcanic eruptions, faulting, and folding, plus internal pressure.
Effects of Earthquakes (page 11)
- Earthquakes cause landslides and debris falls; damage to buildings, roads, rails, factories, and bridges.
- Government infrastructure can be severely damaged.
- Fire hazards, landmass deformations, and flash floods are also possible effects.
- Tsunamis can be generated resulting in loss of life and property.
Cause of Typhoons (page 11)
- Typhoons are low pressure systems over warm waters of greater than 26°C in the northwest Pacific basin.
- Factors that influence typhoon development include warm ocean water, a stable atmosphere, and moist air.
Effects of Typhoons (page 11)
- Typhoons lead to flooding, destruction of livestock (when exposed), and possible soil erosion when extreme rain causes issues.
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management in the Philippines (page 12)
- Philippines is geographically prone to disasters.
- Tropical cyclones, floods, and other hydro-meteorological perils cause widespread damage and casualties.
Disaster Response (page 13)
- Institutional mechanisms for response operations and improved skills in search, rescue and retrieval are needed.
Activity 1: Matching Disaster (page 13)
- Students are to match the name of a natural disaster with its appropriate illustration.
Guide Questions (page 14)
- Students are asked to define natural disasters, as well as give examples.
Assessment (page 18)
- Multiple choice questions regarding natural disasters (causes and effects).
Additional Activities (page 20)
- Students are tasked to make an information flyer about natural disasters, causes, effects, and prevention.
