The rock **[returns to its original shape]** when the stress is removed. **2. DUCTILE STRAIN/ PLASTIC DEFORMATION** **\>** It is ***irreversible***. The rock ***does not return to its original shape*** when the stress is removed. **3. FRACTURE ("Rupture")** **\>** It also called rupture. The ***rock breaks into distinct pieces.*** **HAZARD** - **RISK** - **DIFFERENT EARTH PROCESSES** - - - **\> GEOLOGIC PROCESSES** - TYPES OF GEOLOGIC PROCESSES **EARTHQUAKE** ° HAZARDS CAUSED BY EARTHQUAKE **\>** Tsunami **\>** Liquefaction (soil softening, from solid, and gas to liquid) **\>** Landslide **\>** Ground Shaking **\>** Surface Faulting (ground breaks open due to an earthquake) **VOLCANIC ERUPTION** ° HAZARD CAUSED BY VOLCANIC ERUPTION **\>** Pyroclastic Phenomena (mixture of rock fragments, gas, and ash that travels rapidly) **\>** Lava **\>** Lahar (volcanic mudflow) **\> PACIFIC RING OF FIRE** - **HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL PROCESS** - **HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL HAZARD** **1, TROPICAL CYCLONE** - **\> PAGASA** - PHILIPPINE ATMOSPHERIC, GEOPHYSICAL AND **ASTRONOMICAL SERVICES** **ADMINISTRATION** **2. MONSOON** - **\> NORTHEAST MONSOON (AMIHAN)** - **\> SOUTHWEST MONSOON (HABAGAT)** - **3. FLOOD** - - - - **4. TORNADO ("IPO IPO")** - At least **20 typhoons** visits Philippines every year. **MARINE AND COASTAL PROCESSES** **COAST**- the land next to or close to the sea **MARINE**- the sea or ocean **MARINE AND COASTAL PROCESSES** - **TIDES** - There are **7,641 Islands** in the Philippines **WAVES** - - **SEA LEVEL RISES** - ***glaciers and iceberg.*** **CRUSTAL MOVEMENT** - **STORM SURGE** - **HAZARDS CAUSED BY MARINE AND COASTAL PROCESSES** **COASTAL EROSION** - **SALT WATER INTRUSION** - **SUBMERSION** - **WAYS AND STEP TO SAFETY** **DISASTER PREPAREDNESS** - **1. Creating and Rehearsing Emergency Plan**(studying the possible safe route) **2. Preparing Emergency Kit** **3. Conducting Trainings** **DISASTER RESPONSE** -
