a specific area, space or place at risk of experiencing a particular type or types of natural and/or ecological hazards
What is the definition of risk?
Interactions with living organisms, and the environment, or interactions between living organisms that have the potential to adversely affect the social and economic wellbeing of people; a substance or activity that poses a threat to a habitat or an environment

This theory was discovered by making measurements at a number of points across faults
Elastic Rebound Theory
Elastic Strain Theory
Elastic Fault Theory
Elastic Ground Theory
Is hindered because there are irregularities on the fault
plane.
Elastic Strain Energy
Slippage
Fault line
Ground Shaking
Builds up in the deforming rocks on either side of the fault until it overcomes the resistance posed by any irregularity on the fault plane.

According to UNESCO/UNDRO (1982) Definitions of Hazard & Risk
Terminology, Vulnerability (V) is the degree of loss to a given element or set of elements at risk resulting from the occurrence of a hazardous phenomenon of a given amplitude
TRUE
FALSE
MAYBE TRUE
Vulnerability = Exposure + Resistance x Resilience
TRUE
FALSE
MAYBE TRUE
Resilience: Measures taken to prevent, avoid or reduce loss
TRUE
FALSE
MAYBE TRUE
Resistance: Ability to recover prior state or achieve desired
post-disaster state
TRUE
FALSE
MAYBE TRUE
The people of the Western part of Philippines are more vulnerable to typhoons because of: -High Exposure of Typhoon
TRUE
FALSE
MAYBE TRUE
Final type of seismic wave occurs along the boundary
between two different substances,Can be either longitudinal (Rayleigh) or transverse
(Love and Rayleigh)
True
False
Not so True
Surface waves are slower than both S and P waves, but have a higher amplitude and so can be the most destructive of all the seismic waves
True
False
Not so True
The strength of ground shaking ismeasured in terms of velocity,
accelerations, frequency content ofthe shaking, and how the shaking
continues (duration).
True
False
Not so True
Frequency is how often a vibration occurs. The unit of measurement is hertz (Hz) or cycles per second. The product of wavelength
and frequency is velocity
True
False
Not so True
Natural Frequency is the frequency at which a system naturally vibrates once it has been set into motion.
True
False
Not so True
The time (in seconds) it takes for one full cycle to occur. The period is equal to the reciprocal
for frequency (1/frequency)
(a)
The time (in seconds) it takes for one full cycle to occur. The period is equal to the reciprocal
for frequency (1/frequency)
(a)
The frequency at which a system naturally vibrates once it has been set into motion. The natural frequency depends on the stiffness and mass of the system
(a)
The frequency at which a system naturally vibrates once it has been set into motion. The natural frequency depends on the stiffness and mass of the system
(a)
The product of wavelength
and frequency is (a)
A function of threats exploiting vulnerabilities to obtain, damage or destroy
assets.
(a)
Identify the Type or Sector of Vulnerability:
Natural resource depletion and resource degradation are key aspects of THIS vulnerability.
(a)
Identify the Type or Sector of Vulnerability:
Refers to the inability of people, organizations and societies to withstand
adverse impacts to hazards due to characteristics inherent in social interactions, institutions and systems of cultural values
(a)
Identify the Type or Sector of Vulnerability:
Meaning the potential for physical impact on the physical environment – which can be
expressed as elements-at-risk
(a)
Identify the Type or Sector of Vulnerability:
The poor are usually more vulnerable to disasters because they lack the resources to build sturdy structures and put other engineering measures in place to protect themselves from being negatively impacted by disasters.
