Study Notes

Introduction to Self-Learning Modules

Designed for learners to continue studies from home.
Includes activities, questions, exercises, and discussions.
Pretests and posttests are provided for assessing understanding.

Earth Structure

The outermost layer of the Earth is the crust.
Earth's crust and upper mantle form the lithosphere.
Continental crust is thicker and heavier than oceanic crust.

Plate Tectonics

Earth’s crust is composed of continuously moving plates.
Theory of Plate Tectonics states that the crust is broken and in constant motion.
Earthquakes, fault lines, landslides, and mountains result from Plate Tectonics.

Earthquake Types

Tectonic earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy from shifting plates.
Aftershocks and foreshocks may also occur.

Tsunamis

Tsunamis can result from underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.

Natural Disaster Risk Assessment

Hazard maps indicate high-risk areas for earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis in the Philippines.
Areas shaded darker on maps are higher risk for specific natural disasters.
Regions where all four risks are present should be identified.

Geographic Risk Zones

Batanes, Isabela, Palawan, and Romblon noted for varying levels of risk.
Awareness of each province's risk factors is crucial for disaster preparedness.

Disaster Preparedness Activities

Preparedness planning focuses on actions before, during, and after disasters.
Essential for mitigating harmful effects during earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions.
Information from news articles and community members can support learning about local risks.

Safety Practices During Earthquakes

Get under sturdy furniture during an earthquake.
Awareness of safe zones like doors or structural supports is vital.

Importance of Disaster Awareness

Staying informed about natural disaster risks enables proper precautions.
Knowledge improves preparedness and safety in vulnerable areas.

Studying That Suits You
