Q&A
What is involved in the quiz on volcanic eruptions and preparedness?
The quiz on volcanic eruptions and preparedness emphasizes awareness and disaster prevention. Viewers are encouraged to participate and share their preparedness plans online with #WonderReady, making science fun for everyone.
What does the video discuss about volcanic eruptions and the volcanic explosivity index (VEI)?
The video discusses various types of volcanic eruptions, the volcanic explosivity index (VEI), its measurement criteria, and even compares VEI for specific volcanic eruptions, providing insights into understanding volcanic activities.
What are the unique natural wonders and cultural attractions in high-risk volcanic areas like Camiguin and Sulu?
While Camiguin and Sulu are at high risk due to volcanic activity, they offer unique natural wonders and cultural attractions, making them worthwhile to visit despite the risks.
How are volcanoes classified in the Philippines?
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) classifies volcanoes based on their eruptive history as active, potentially active, or inactive/extinct. There are three major types of volcanoes - cinder cone, composite, and shield volcanoes, each with unique characteristics and eruption patterns.
What does the geophysical hazard map show about volcanic risk in the Philippines?
The geophysical hazard map shows the volcanic risk in the Philippines, particularly highlighting volcanic activities due to the Pacific Ring of Fire. It depicts volcanic vulnerability and identifies high-risk provinces.
How does the recognition of students' efforts occur?
The recognition of students' efforts includes posting landmarks, discussing earthquake preparedness plans, and reviewing assignments.
What causes earthquake phenomena?
Earthquake phenomena are caused by the sudden movement of rock, resulting from rupture along faults, and the release of seismic waves.
What are the five tips for healthy screen time?
The five tips for healthy screen time are: sitting properly, changing position regularly, keeping dim lighting, stretching, and avoiding watching TV in bed.
