  • Intensity - the strength of the earthquake
  • Volcano - an opening in Earth's crust that erupts when pressure builds up
  • Cinder cone volcanoes - volcanoes that have circular or oval cones
  • Composite volcanoes - volcanoes that have steep sides
  • Shield volcanoes - volcanoes look like the shape of a bowl or shield, with long, gentle slopes made from basalt lava flows.
  • Lava dome volcanoes - volcanoes that are formed by thick lava / also be formed within inside of another volcano
  • Active volcanoes - that have recently erupted, have/had at least one eruption for the last 10,000 years
  • Dormant volcanoes - once an active volcano that has not erupted for 10,000 years but still has the potential to erupt again.
  • Extinct volcanoes - volcanoes that no longer expected to erupt again
  • Pacific Ring of Fire - 40,000 circle of interconnected fault lines around the Pacific Ocean.
  • Volcanology - Study of Volcanoes
  • Magma - Hot molten material
  • Lava - The hot molten material when it goes out of the volcano
  • Ground rupture - the mark of the intersection of the fault within the surface of the earth
  • Ground shaking - disruptive vibration of the ground in all directions during an earthquake
  • Liquefaction - the phenomenon wherein the soil is weakened by the earthquake shaking
  • Tsunami - series of waves caused by earthquakes under the sea
  • Lava flow - it will not be usable for a long time as lava deposits harden and solidify
  • Ashfall - shower of fine-to-coarse-grained fragmented materials from a volcanic eruption
  • Lahar - a thick mixture of volcanic materials & water that rapidly flows when in liquid phase but solidifies and hardens afterward
  • Volcanic gases - a mixture of different gases is released during a volcanic eruption, with most of it being water vapor
  • Pyroclastic flow - fast, raging flow of volcanic materials made by a combination of ash, rocks, and hot gases.
  • NDRRMC - National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council
  • PRC - Phillipine Red Cross
  • PHIVOLCS - Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology
  • BFP - Bureau of Fire Protection
  • Earthquake - is a weak to violent shaking or trembling of the ground caused by the sudden movement of the rocks below the surface of Earth.
  • Faults - are lines or cracks in Earth's surface that are caused by the movement of the plates
  • Tectonic earthquake - a type of earthquake caused by sudden movements along the tectonic faults and plate boundaries
  • Volcanic earthquake - a type of earthquake caused by volcanic activities
  • Collapse Earthquake - a type of earthquake that occur in caverns or mines
