Answer (1)
Let's go through each of the questions one by one with detailed explanations:
It is a region where all the risks are present.
Without specific context or a map to refer to, this question may not have a clear answer. Typically, a region with all risks could be a tectonically active area with potential for earthquakes, volcanoes, typhoons, and more.
It is the safest place in the country due to its very low risk in geologic disasters.
C. Palawan
Palawan is often considered the safest in terms of geologic disasters in the Philippines due to its minimal exposure to major typhoons, lack of active volcanoes, and generally lower risk of earthquakes.
What is the common precursor of natural disasters?
A. earthquake
Earthquakes can lead to other disasters such as tsunamis and landslides, making them a common precursor.
Which region is prone to earthquakes but not to a volcanic eruption?
Answering this requires specific knowledge of each region’s seismic activity and volcanic presence.
In which province should people refrain from building high-rise houses?
B. Benguet
Benguet is prone to landslides and earthquakes, making high-rise constructions potentially risky.
If an earthquake begins while you are in a building, the safest thing for you to do is ____
C. get under the strongest table, chair, or other pieces of furniture
This practice helps protect you from falling debris and is considered safer than standing or running during an earthquake.
All of these are wise practices during an earthquake EXCEPT
D. run to a tall tree
Running to a tall tree is not safe, as it could fall or debris could strike you. Staying indoors and protected is better.
Tsunami comes when you suddenly observe the ocean water moving away from the beach. To save yourself from this calamity, you MUST ____
B. run to the nearest hill or mountain
Moving to higher ground immediately is vital to avoid being caught in the incoming wave.
Why is it important to be aware of places prone to earthquakes?
D. to perform necessary precautions
Awareness allows for proper planning, preparedness, and risk reduction techniques.
What can be the WORST and IRREVERSIBLE effect of negligence or failure to prepare for natural geologic disasters?
* **B. death**
* While property damage and disease are significant consequences, death is the most severe and irreversible outcome of negligence in disaster preparedness.
