Finally‚ tsunamis are a bunch of enormous waves caused by natural disasters like earthquakes‚ volcanoes‚ landslides‚ and even meteorites.

strain that has accumulated over a long time. 2)TSUNAMIS Tsunamis (pronounced soo-ná-mees)‚ also known as seismic sea waves (mistakenly called “tidal waves”)‚ are a series of enormous waves created by an underwater disturbance such as an earthquake‚landslide‚ volcanic eruption‚ or meteorite. A tsunami can move hundreds of miles per hour in the open ocean and smash into land with waves as high as 100 feet or more. 3) DAMAGING WINDS Damaging winds are often called “straight-line” winds to differentiate

past 400 years‚ the Philippines had experienced about 90 destructive earthquakes one for every five years. Earthquakes happen because of volcanic activity and tectonic movements. It results to fault rupture‚ tsunami‚ ground shaking‚ liquefaction‚ landslide and fire. Faults- fractures where earthquake originates‚ there are different types of fault: strike slip‚ normal and thrust. Active faults move up & down while trenches move toward each other. The Valley Fault System has two segments‚ the East Valley

Secondary hazards include lahars‚ Jӧkulhlaups (flooding) and volcanic landslides that can lead to tsunamis. Lahars occurs when heavy rain starts to fall as well as ash or when the release of crater lakes mix with pyroclastic flows. These are mixtures of water‚ rock‚ sand‚ mud and ash that flow down the valleys leading away from
