Q&A

• What were students encouraged to do after answering earthquake-related questions correctly?

  Students were encouraged to create earthquake preparedness plans, spread awareness about earthquake risks, and incentivized with gold coins for their efforts. This was aimed at emphasizing the importance of disaster prevention and preparedness.

• What is the significance of earthquake vulnerability in the Philippines?

  The vulnerability to earthquakes in the Philippines is due to its location in a seismically active region, with multiple fault lines and tectonic plate interactions. This makes it essential for the country to focus on earthquake preparedness and awareness.

• What is the Ring of Fire's association with seismic waves?

  The Ring of Fire is associated with significant seismic activity, making it a crucial area for studying seismic waves and understanding earthquake vulnerabilities in regions like the Philippines.

• How do seismic waves contribute to understanding the Earth's structure?

  Seismic waves, including P-waves, S-waves, and surface waves, help in deducing the composition and behavior of the Earth's interior. For example, the behavior of S-waves suggests the presence of a liquid outer core.

• What are seismic waves?

  Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the Earth, often as a result of an earthquake, and they include body waves (P-waves and S-waves) and surface waves. These waves provide valuable information about the Earth's interior.

• What is a geophysical hazard map?

  A geophysical hazard map categorizes the risk of an area to natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis. It helps in identifying areas prone to these hazards.

• What is the relevance of plate tectonics and the Ring of Fire to the Philippines?

  The Philippines is located within the Ring of Fire and is affected by the movement of tectonic plates, making it prone to volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

• What is the Ring of Fire?

  The Ring of Fire is a horseshoe-shaped area in the Pacific Ocean basin where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. It is associated with the boundaries of several tectonic plates.

• What is the concept of plate tectonics?

  Plate tectonics is the scientific theory that describes the movement and interaction of the Earth's lithospheric plates. It explains the formation of major geological features like mountains, ocean trenches, and volcanic activity.

• What are some tips for maintaining back, neck, and eye health while using screens?

  To maintain back, neck, and eye health while using screens, it's important to take regular breaks, practice good posture, adjust screen settings for comfort, use proper lighting, and consider ergonomic equipment such as chairs and monitor stands.

• 00:28 Five tips for maintaining back, neck, and eye health while using screens, the concept of plate tectonics including the movement of plates, the ring of fire, and a word search puzzle activity.
• 03:09 Participants can earn gold coins by finding words in a challenge, followed by a learning module on Philippine geography and hazard maps.
• 07:09 Geophysical hazard maps categorize the risk of an area to natural disasters. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis are geophysical hazards. Seismology studies earthquakes and seismic waves. Seismic waves include body waves (p-wave and s-wave) and surface waves.
• 09:53 Seismic waves include p waves, s waves, and surface waves. S waves can only move through solid rock, suggesting Earth's outer core is liquid. Surface waves cause most earthquake damage. A teacher demonstrates the motion of primary and secondary waves using a slinky.
