SCIENCE 🧬👩‍🔬

• earthquake - shaking of the ground
• seismograph - instrument that measure the motion of the ground during an earthquake
• tectonic earthquake - caused by the movement of crust or crustal plate
• volcanic earthquake - shaking of grounds that happen when there is a strong volcanic eruption
• magnitude - refers to the amount of energy released in an earthquake
• intensity - refers to the effect of an earthquake
• focus - break in the ground caused by the moving rocks
• Charles F. Richter - richter scale
• PHILVOCS - PHILIPPINE INSTITUTE OF VOLCANOLOGY AND SEISMOLOGY
• Circumpacific Belt - A belt of oceanic crust that extends from the Pacific plate to the Eurasian plate
• Volcano - opening in the Earth's crust
• Mt. Kanlaon - active volcano
• Cone - formed by the mountains accumulation of volcanic materials
• crater - steep-walled depression at the peak of volcano
• volcanic vent - connects the crater to the magma chamber
• magma chamber - where the crater magma given off by a volcano came from
• Active volcano - if it is still erupting, it is considered to be active.
• Dormant volcano - when there have been no recent signs of activity but could potentially become active again.
• Extinct volcano - when it hasn't had an eruption for at least 10,000 years and shows no sign of becoming active again.
• Lahar - mudflow caused by heavy rain or melting snow on a volcano.
• Tsunami - large wave generated by earthquakes underwater or volcanic eruptions.
• Volcanic ash - fine particles of solid matter ejected into the air during a volcanic eruption.
• season - period of the year that is usually characterize by a particular climate and weather conditions
• The two seasons in the Philippines is the wet and dry
• Wet season starts in june and peaks in july to september
• Wet season is characterized by a pronounced rainy with thunderstorm
• Dry season is characterized by hot and cloudless days
• In dry season between january and may the climate is generally dry
• Humidity is low during dry season
• The peak of dry season is in april with less rain showers
• Influenced by a seasonal wind and northeast monsoon-amihan
• The philippines is located a little north of the equator
• A prevailing wind is the wind that blows mostly from a single direction
• Southwest monsoon is hanging habagat
• Northeast monsoon is hanging amihan
• Habagat brings rainy season to the west portion of the
• Amihan brings dry season to the philippines
