Earth and Life Science Quarter 1 Module 16: Geologic Processes and Hazards

Earth and Life Science Q1 Module 16 teaches SHS learners to use hazard maps to find provinces prone to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides.

This is a Senior High School self-learning module for Earth and Life Science, Quarter 1, Module 16: Geologic Processes and Hazards. It has one lesson, Lesson 2, Geological Processes and Hazards. Learners use hazard maps to find the Philippine provinces most at risk of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides, and they learn why knowing these places matters. It was produced by DepEd Region IV-A CALABARZON as an Alternative Delivery Mode module (First Edition, 2021).

On this page 7 sections

What learners will learn

After going through this module, learners are expected to:

  1. identify places in the Philippines that are prone to geologic hazards like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides using a hazard map; and
  2. explain why it is important to identify places that are prone to geologic hazards.

Why the Philippines is hazard-prone

The Philippines is an archipelago of 7,641 islands. It lies in the Pacific Typhoon Belt and in the Pacific Ring of Fire, which is home to over 75% of the world’s active and dormant volcanoes. Because of this location, the country has more earthquakes and volcanic eruptions than many other countries. The module calls it one of the most hazard- and disaster-prone countries in the world.

Key ideas in the lesson

Geologic processes

Geological processes are natural forces that shape the physical makeup of a planet. They cause the plates in the Earth’s crust to move. Because these processes keep happening, they are a continuous source of hazards to people and communities.

Hazards

A hazard is a phenomenon caused by natural or human forces that threatens people, animals, property, and the environment. The module groups hazards into two types:

  • Natural: earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and tsunamis
  • Anthropogenic (man-made): deforestation, mining, and climate change

A landslide is the movement of rock, debris, and soil down a slope.

Hazard maps

A hazard map shows the areas exposed or prone to a particular hazard, such as landslides, flooding, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis. These maps help reduce the harm hazards cause. The module notes two partnerships that make hazard information public: news networks working with the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), and the Manila Observatory working with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).

Most at-risk provinces

The module presents three top-10 lists based on Manila Observatory and DENR maps:

RankEarthquakesVolcanic eruptionsLandslides
1Surigao del SurCamiguinMarinduque
2La UnionSuluRizal
3BenguetBiliranCebu
4PangasinanAlbayLa Union
5PampangaBataanSouthern Leyte
6TarlacSorsogonBenguet
7Ilocos NorteSouth CotabatoNueva Vizcaya
8Davao OrientalLagunaBatangas
9Nueva VizcayaCamarines SurMountain Province
10Nueva EcijaBatanesRomblon

The module explains the reasons:

  • Earthquakes: Surigao del Sur and Davao Oriental are at risk because of the Philippine Trench and nearby active faults. La Union and Pangasinan are at risk because of the Manila Trench. Benguet, La Union, Nueva Vizcaya, eastern Pangasinan, and Nueva Ecija lie along the Philippine Fault Zone.
  • Volcanic eruptions: Camiguin ranks first because its land area is so small that an eruption could affect the whole province. Sulu ranks second because it has the greatest number of active and dangerous volcanoes.
  • Landslides: Many provinces of the Cordillera Administrative Region are on the list because the region sits in and around the Cordillera mountain ranges. After heavy, continuous rain or earthquakes, slopes become weak and can slide.

Activities in this module

  • What I Know: a 15-item multiple-choice pretest
  • Activity 1, Cause and Effect: fill in the causes and effects of volcanic eruptions, landslides, and earthquakes
  • Activity 2, Point me: use a numbered map of Philippine provinces to list places hit by geologic hazards in the past decade
  • Activity 3, Identify me: name the top 3 places prone to each hazard, justify your answer, and explain why hazard maps matter
  • Activity 4, Complete me: fill in the blanks to review key terms
  • Activity 5, Hazard identification: identify hazardous places during or after an earthquake at home, in school, and in the community
  • Assessment: a 15-item multiple-choice post-test
  • Activity 6, Interview me: interview someone who has experienced a geologic hazard

How to use this module

Learners: Start with the pretest to check what you already know, then work through the parts in order. Write all answers on a separate sheet of paper and do not mark the module. Finish with the assessment, then check your work honestly against the answer key at the end.

Parents and facilitators: Help your child find a family member or neighbor for the interview in Activity 6, and encourage them to ask the teacher when a task is unclear.

Teachers: The answer key covers the pretest, the post-test, and Activities 1, 3, and 4. Open-ended tasks (Activities 3, 5, and 6) are scored with the module’s short-answer rubric, which rates analysis, clarity, and writing skills from 1 (below expectation) to 3 (above expectation).

Lesson 2 Geological Processes and Hazards

The Philippines is an archipelago that is made up of 7641 islands and home to world-renown natural wonders and pristine water bodies. The country is in a unique location because it rests in the Pacific Typhoon Belt and Pacific’s earthquake and volcano Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire is a home to over 75% of the world’s active and dormant volcanoes. Because of its geographic location, the Philippines is among the greatest hazard and disaster-prone countries in the world.

What’s In

The Philippines is no stranger to natural hazards. Every year, thousands to millions of Filipinos are extremely affected by all forms of hazards such as earthquakes, typhoons, and volcanic eruptions. These natural hazards may result in multiple disasters.

Activity 1: Cause and Effect

Directions. Supply the blank boxes with the causes and effects from the given geologic hazards.

Volcanic Eruptions
Landslides
Earthquakes

What’s New

Geologic Process

Geological processes can be described as natural forces that shape the physical makeup of a planet. These forces cause movements of plates in the Earth’s crust, the area where humankind lives. As these processes occur from time to time, it poses a continuous source of hazards to people, community and society.

Hazards

A hazard is a phenomenon caused by natural or human forces which poses threat to humans, animals, properties and environment. For instance, since the Philippines is located within the Ring of Fire, the country experiences many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions compared to other countries. This makes the country one of the most hazard-prone countries in the world.

Hazards can be classified as either natural or anthropogenic.

Natural: Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides and tsunamis (climate and weather-related hazards)

Anthropogenic: Deforestation, mining and climate change (man-made)

Hazard Map

It is a map that illustrates the areas that are exposed or prone to a particular hazard. They are used for natural hazards such as landslides, flooding, volcanic eruption and tsunami. It is also used to mitigate the potential negative effects of these hazards

Activity 2: Point me

Every year, dozens of natural disasters strike our country. Some are just passing by and some even make history because of massive destruction.

Directions. Since disasters are all over the news, what places do you think have been affected by geologic hazards for the past decade? Use the Philippine map on the right side. Write your answers on the box below.

What is It

Now, you have learned that geologic location is the major reason why the Philippines is a hazard-prone country. The Philippine government partnered with other private institutions to reduce the risk of hazards through producing hazard maps that are publicly available. For example, the partnership of news networks with the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS). This partnership shares valuable and scientific information which increases the public’s understanding on geologic hazards and risks associated with it.

Another is Manila Observatory, a private non-stock and non-profit research institution with the help of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR. This partnership produced hazard maps that show the vulnerability of the country to environmental disasters.

  1. Surigao Del Sur
  2. La Union
  3. Benguet
  4. Pangasinan
  5. Pampanga
  6. Tarlac
  7. Ilocos Norte
  8. Davao Oriental
  9. Nueva Vizcaya
  10. Nueva Ecija

Surigao Del Sur and Davao Oriental are at risk to hazard due to Philippine Trench and nearby active faults, while La Union and Pangasinan are due Manila Trench. Moreover, Benguet, La Union, Nueva Vizcaya, Eastern Pangasinan and Nueva Ecija is due its location along the Philippine fault Zone. (Center for Environmental Geomatics- Manila Observatory, 2005)

Over the past decades, the PHILVOCS has recorded twelve destructive earthquakes in the Philippines that caused unimaginable effects, such as loss of properties, injuries, and thousands of deaths.

  4. Albay
  5. Bataan
  6. Sorsogon
  7. South Cotabato
  8. Laguna
  9. Camarines Sur
  10. Batanes

First on the rank with the highest risk is Camiguin because the land area was so small. If volcanic eruption may occur, the whole province can be affected. Sulu ranks second because it has the greatest number of active and dangerous volcanoes. (Center for Environmental Geomatics-Manila Observatory, 2005)

  5. SOUTHER LEYTE
  6. BENGUET
  7. NUEVA VIZCAYA
  8. BATANGAS
  9. MOUNTAIN PROVINCE
  10. ROMBLON

Most of the provinces in the Cordillera Administrative Region are included in the list of top 10 landslide-prone areas in the Philippines. Because the entire region is situated in and around Cordillera Mountain ranges. So, after massive and continuous rain or earthquakes, certain areas on the hills and mountains become delicate and weak which makes the region exposed to landslides as well as to other provinces that is why their area is classified as rugged and mountainous with prominent flat lands.
