NATURAL PROCESSES AND

HAZARDS
Geological, Hydrometeorological, Marine and
Coastal
Objectives:

 Categorize the different causes of geological,

hydrometeorological and coastal processes

according to its type

Objectives:

 Identify areas prone to hazards brought by tropical

cyclones, monsoon, floods or tornado

 Demonstrate the dos’ and don’ts during, before and

after the occurrence of each natural occurring

hazards
Natural Hazard

 Is a natural occurring event or

phenomenon which has a

negative anthropogenic and

coastal processes could lead

to natural disaster
Natural Disaster

 Refers to any natural hazard

or threat that causes fatality

or damage to property

Hazard Mitigation

 Minimization of risk

Geologic Hazard and Mitigation

 are due to the movement of plates and local

concentrations of geologic heating

Geologic Hazard and Mitigation
Earthquakes
 Philippine Institute of
Volcanology and Seismology
(PHIVOLCS) – government
agency overlooking all seismic
and all volcanic activities in the
Philippines
 The top ten provinces that are at risk to
Earthquakes are:

1. Surigao Del Sur 6. Tarlac

2. La Union 7. Ifugao
3. Benguet 8. Davao Oriental
4. Pangasinan 9. Nueva Vizcaya
5. Pampanga 10. Nueva Ecija
Geologic Hazard and Mitigation
Landslides

 When earthquake occurs,

the shaking and rupture are
usually accompanied other
environmental risks such as
landslides
The top ten provinces that are at risk to
Earthquake-induced landslides include:

1. Ifugao 7. Aurora
2. Lanao Del Sur 8. Lanao Del Sur
3. Sarangani 9. Davao Oriental
4. Benguet 10. Rizal
5. Mountain Province
6. Bukidnon
Geologic Hazard and Mitigation
Volcanic Eruptions

 The Philippines lies within

the Pacific Ring Of Fire.

This explains the

distribution of most

volcanoes in the

Philippines.
The top ten provinces at risk for
volcanic eruptions include:

1. Camiguin 6. Sorsogon
2. Sulu 7. South Cotabato
3. Biliran 8. Laguna
4. Albay 9. Camarines Sur
5. Bataan 10. Batanes
Geologic Hazard and Mitigation
Tropical Cyclones
Geologic Hazard and Mitigation
Tsunamis

 Another risk case by

earthquakes or seismic

activities that affect

bodies of water
The top ten provinces at risk for
tsunamis include:

1. Sulu 6. Romblon
2. Tawi-tawi 7. Siquijor
3. Basilan 8. Surigao del Norte
4. Batanes 9. Camuigin
5. Guimaras 10. Masbate
Hydrometreological Phenomena and
Hazards: Monsoon
 Consistent reversal of
wind pattern or a wind
system generated by
large weather system
affecting a large area
over a period of several
months
Two Types of Monsoon:

 Northeast Monsoon
 Southwest Monsoon
Hydrometreological Phenomena and
Hazards: Monsoon

Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and

Astronomical Services (PAGASA)

 Government bureau which monitor atmospheric

occurrences within the Philippine area of

responsibility
The top three areas constantly at risk
for hydrometeorological phenomena
include:

 Eastern Luzon
 Bicol
 Visayas
Mitigation and Prevention

 Floods 3D hazard maps

are made and
disseminated to areas
which are usually hit by
typhoons and area which
are prone to flooding
Marine Coastal Processes and Hazards
Coastal: Erosion

 The process of wave

action, wave currents and
tidal currents wear away
the land and removes
sediments near the
coastline
Marine Coastal Processes and Hazards
Coastal: Submersion
Marine Coastal Processes and Hazards
Saltwater Intrusion

 To mitigate the effects of

saltwater intrusion, injection
wells are built where fresh
water is injected.
