D) Determine whether each statement about volcano related hazards is true or false. Write
your answer before the number.
17. Pyroclastic flows and surges are potentially highly destructive owing to their mass, high
temperature, high velocity and great mobility.
18. Lahars are rapidly flowing thick mixture of volcanic sediments (from the pyroclastic
materials) and water, usually triggered by intense rainfall during typhoons, monsoons and
thunderstorms.
19. Lava flows are considered the most dangerous type of hazard from a volcano and is
always a big threat to human lives.
20. Lahars can occur immediately after an eruption or can become long-term problem for as
long as there are excess sediments on the volcano’s slope and water to remobilize these.
21. Pyroclastic flow results from an explosive eruption.
22. During eruption, excessive ashfall is dangerous as it can cause poor or low visibility.
23. .Ash from volcanoes are also abrasive, because of this, ash suspended in air is also
dangerous for airplanes as this can cause the engines to fail if the suspended ash is
encountered by the airplane.
24. High concentrations of CO2 which is colorless and odorless can be lethal to people, animals
and vegetation.

Test II. Items 25-43

Look Out for the Warnings!
Direction: Read the following passages carefully. Analyze and determine the recognized sign
of an impending volcanic eruption in each case study.

Case Study # 1
For 123 years, Mount St. Helens remained dormant. The large sleeping volcano was a favorite
spot for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. Thousands of people of visited the national park to fish,
camp, and play.

On March 16th, 1980, three small earthquakes were measured at the park ranger station. The
earthquakes were so small most visitors did not notice them. On March 27th a helicopter tourist
company flew a group around the crater of the still-dormant volcano. During flight, the group
observed a small steam explosion blow a 15-meter hole in the top of the mountain. The group
took pictures and passed them to the United States Geological Service when they returned. For
the next two weeks, small spots of steam could be seen shooting out of the top of the volcano.
By April 22nd, however, all steam activity ceased. Because there were no small steam
eruptions, the park rangers believed the volcano was returning to dormancy and did not issue
an evacuation.
Geologists, however, started to notice a bulge forming in part of the mountain. Like the
mountain was growing fatter, they could see part of it growing in size. By May 17th, the bulge
was growing at 2 meters per day. Finally, on May 18th, a final earthquake occurred followed by
the immediate eruption of the volcano. The blast from the volcano was so large the ash cloud
circled the Earth for 15 days. 57 people died.

helicopter tour?
A) Reports of unusual animal behavior
B) Pictures of a steam explosion
C) Increased number of hikers in the area
D) Changes in vegetation around the volcano

Case Study # 2

Mount Pinatubo is found on an island of the Philippines. The island is densely populated with
large towns and tourist sites. Mount Pinatubo had not erupted in 500 years. For the past 500
years, small bursts of steam would shoot from a hot spring on the volcano. On July 16th, 1990,
a magnitude 7.8 quake shook the volcano. This earthquake was followed by a series of smaller
earthquakes and increase in steam activity for one week. After the week, however, the volcano
appeared to return to dormancy.

In March and April 1991, earthquakes returned and steam activity increased again. The steam
explosions created three craters towards the top of the volcano. For the next three months,
steam explosions continued to increase in frequency. On June 7th, the first magma explosion
erupted. Though the eruption was weak, geologists decided to evacuate the area. On June
15th, a large explosive eruption demolished the area, resulting in one of the largest volcanic
eruptions in history.

A. It was a magnitude 7.8 quake
B. It caused significant lava flows
C. It occurred during tourist season
D. The volcano had been dormant for 500 years

38. Why did geologists monitor Mount Pinatubo's activity after the initial earthquake in 1990?
A. To study the impact on tourism
B. To assess the risk of volcanic activity
C. To promote volcano tourism
D. To predict earthquakes in the region

39. Why did geologists decide to evacuate the area after the first magma explosion, despite its
weakness?
A. Previous history of eruptions
B. Increased steam activity
C. Large towns and tourist sites nearby
D. Magnitude 7.8 earthquake

40. What role did volcanic gases play in the Mount Pinatubo eruption, and how did they affect
the environment?
A) They caused acid rain and damaged ecosystems
B) They were not significant in this eruption

Test IV. Items 63-80 Module 6

Hurdling Language Barriers to Understand Science
A) Learning the Skill: Defining terms using context clues. Give the meaning of the underlined
words by examining how it is used in the sentence. Look for context clues.

63.When the soil is water-saturated, it tends to behave like a liquid. Such behavior leads to
secondary earthquake effect which is called liquefaction.
64.During earthquakes, LPG tanks and stoves may overturn, and electrical lines may sever,
and consequently may lead to fire.
65.Seismic activities must be monitored because earthquakes originate below the earth’s
crust.
66.Ground subsidence happens because of the soft and liquid-like behavior of some soil.
67.A tsunami is caused by earthquake in oceanic floors. This leads to huge flooding in
communities near the seashore.

B) Real – Life Scenario. Choose and encircle the best answer in every item.

68. What is the best thing to do during an earthquake?

a. If inside get inside the building and look for injured person.
b. If indoor, crawl under a sturdy furniture or table
c. Run as fast as you can
d. Use elevator for fast escape

69. What is the best thing to do when the earthquake is over?

a. Move out of the building as fast as you can and look for help
b. Return to the damage building
c. Stay away from power lines, poles, walls, and other structures
d. Move to steep slope

70. What is the best thing to do in the event of tsunami alert?

a. If near the beach, move inland to a place with higher elevation.
b. Seek refuge in structure near the beach.
c. Go to the beach and observe the water level, when there is a noticeable recession
d. Wait for 30 minutes before taking action, maybe it is fake news

71-80 C. Suppose to be this is your floor plan of the house and still not finished for a Family
Evacuation Plan. After you learn the components needed for creating an Evacuation Plan, you
want to furnish it. Make a comprehensive emergency escape plan that is feasible will prevent
stampede, and will lead to a safe meeting place.
