- is a dynamic processes work

in the earth's landforms and

surfaces. The mechanisms
involved, weathering, erosion,
and plate tectonics,
combine processes that are in
some respects destructive and
in others constructive.
- it is the breakdown of
rocks at the Earth’s surface,
by the action of rainwater,
extremes of temperature,
and biological activity. It
does not involve the
removal of rock material.
- is the removal of surface
material from Earth’s crust,
primarily soil and rock debris,
and the transportation of the
eroded materials by natural
agencies (such as water
or wind) from the point of
removal.
- is the theory that Earth's
outer shell is divided into
several plates that glide
over the mantle, the
rocky inner layer above
the core.
are naturally occurring
geologic conditions
capable of causing
damage or loss of
property and/or life
- any sudden shaking of the ground
caused by the passage of seismic
waves through Earth’s rocks. Seismic
waves are produced when some form of
energy stored in Earth’s crust is suddenly
released, usually when masses of rock
straining against one another suddenly
fracture and “slip.”
 An earthquake is a destructive
geologic hazard. The first main
earthquake hazard (danger) is
the effect of ground shaking.
Buildings can be damaged by the
shaking itself or by the ground
beneath them settling to a
different level than it was before
the earthquake (subsidence).
 Buildingscan even sink into the
ground if soil liquefaction occurs.

 The second main earthquake hazard

is ground displacement(ground
movement) along a fault. If a structure
(a building, road, etc.) is built across a
fault, the ground displacement during
an earthquake could seriously
damage or rip apart that structure.
In an earthquake a fire
can be started by broken
gas lines and power lines.
Flood also may happen
because earthquake can
rupture dams or if a
tsunami occurs after an
earthquake.
 Stay away from glass,large
furniture if you trapped in a
room
Duck ,cover and hold
If the shaking stops go the
nearest open area or safe
zone.
Always stay calm.
 - is a geological
hazard occurs when
hot materials from
the Earth's interior
are thrown out of
a volcano.
 Volcanic eruptions can cause
earthquakes, fast floods, mud slides,
and rock falls. Lava can travel very far
and burn, bury, or damage anything
in its path, including people, houses,
and trees. The large amount of dust
and ash can cause roofs to fall,
makes it hard to breathe, and is
normally very smelly. The ground
around the volcano is not secure and
can cause big earthquakes.
 Close all windows, doors, and fireplace or
woodstove dampers.
 Turn off all fans and heating and air
conditioning systems.
 Bring pets and livestock into closed shelters.
 Keep necessities on hand.
 Listen for emergency alerts and do what
they say.
 Stay inside until you hear that it's safe to
come out.
 The main good effect that
volcanoes have on the
environment is to give vitamins
to the soil around them.
Volcanic ash contains
minerals that help plants grow,
and if the ash is very soft, it will
quickly get mixed into the soil.
- is the movement of
a mass of rock,
debris, or earth
down a slope.
 Landslides cause
property damage, injury, and
death and adversely affect a
variety of resources. For
example, water supplies,
fisheries, sewage disposal
systems, forests, dams, and
roadways can be affected for
years after a slide event.
Landslides generally
happen where they have
occurred in the past, and
in identifiable hazard
locations.
 Learn about local emergency response and evacuation
plans.
 Talk to everyone in your household about what to do if a
landslide occurs.
 Create and practice an evacuation plan for your family
and your business.
 Assemble and maintain an emergency preparedness kit.
 Become familiar with the land around where you live and
work so that you understand your risk in different situations.
 Watch the patterns of storm water drainage on slopes near
your home, especially where runoff water converges.
 Create and practice an evacuation plan for your family
and your business.
 Assemble and maintain an emergency preparedness kit.
