Interpretation of Different Volcanic Hazard Maps
- 2. *Identiying the Different status of volcanoes in the Philippines *Importance of knowing volcanic hazard maps *Examining the hazard maps in one volcano
- 4. 1. Mt. Apo is considered an active volcano. 2. Mt. Pulag is the highest peak in the Philippines, 3. Mt. Mayon is considered one of the most active volcanoes in the Philippines 4. Mt. Pinatubo eruption is the most destructive volcanic eruption recorded in the Philippines. 5. Among the major islands in the Philippines, Luzon has the greatest number of volcanoes. True or false
- 5. 6. Volcanoes can be formed anywhere. 7. Volcanoes can be formed in tectonic plate boundaries, 8. Volcanoes are evenly distributed across the globe. 9. Volcanoes are formed only in the continental crust. 10. More than a quarter of the total active volcanoes on Earth are found along the Pacific Ring of Fire. True of false
- 9. POTECIALLY ACTIVE ACTIVE VOLCANO INACTIVE VOLCANO
- 10. "Maps communicate more than meets the eye." -MacEachren 1995; Perkins et al. 2011
- 11. Volcanic hazard maps are visual, geospatial depictions of the areas that could be impacted by various volcanic phenomena during or subsequent to an eruption. They are developed to communicate a complex array of hazard information to those at risk, or those responsible for managing risk.
- 12. 5 type of volcanic hazard maps A. Geology-based maps -the most common type of volcanic hazard map, are based on hazard footprints of past events
- 13. 5 type of volcanic hazard maps B. Integrated qualitative maps -are based on amalgamation of many different types of hazard information
- 14. 5 type of volcanic hazard maps C. Modelling-based maps -are based on simulation of certain hazard scenarios;
- 15. 5 type of volcanic hazard maps D. Probabilistic maps -are based on probabilistic assessment of hazards;
- 16. 5 type of volcanic hazard maps E. Administrative maps are based on both hazard information but also on emergency management and administrative information. Modified from Calder
