The document discusses electricity, earthquakes, and typhoons. It defines electricity as a form of energy and describes electric circuits and their components like cells, lamps, switches, and wires. It also distinguishes conductors from insulators. For earthquakes, it identifies the different types of faults and seismic waves, and describes agencies that monitor earthquakes. Finally, it defines typhoons as large storm systems and explains concepts like airmasses, the Coriolis effect, monsoons, and eye walls.

ELECTRICITY

Electricity-form of energy

Electric current- flow of energy

Electric charge-made up positive(protons)and negative(electorns

Electric circuit-made up electric components

1.open circuit-made up electric components

2.closed circuit energy flow

Components:

Cell- power supply

Lamp-source of light

Switch-make an electric

Wire-pathway electricity to flow

Conductor-flow easily

 Copper
 Aluminum
 Steel
 Metal

Insulator- Doesn’t let electricity flow

 Wood
 Plastic
 Glass
 Rubber

Temparature-material increase as temp

Diameter- of were

1.Thick-mahina

2.Thin-malakas

3 Types of electric:

1. Energy source
2. Wire
3. Load

Battery – soure of electricity

Switch – control the movement


Schematic diagram-symbol for components of circuit

- Single cell

- Battery

- Connecting wire
EARTHQUAKE

Earthquake – is an unpredictable disaster

2 types of crust

1.Continental crust – makes up earth’s landmass

2.Oceanic crust – makes up most of the ocean floor

3 types of fault

1.Normal fault – hanging wall

2. Reverse fault – hanging wall moves up . compression

3. Strike slip fault – horizontal movement

Stress – push- and-pull action

Fault – where the rocks break or tear apart

Trenches – are the deepest part of ocean

Mantle – 66%

Crust – 1%

Core – 33%

Cause of earthquake- faulting

Effect of earthquake – tsunami

Focus – source of earthquake

Epicenter – location on earth

3 types of seismic waves

1.Primary waves – can move through solid rocks and fluids

2.Secondary waves – perpendicular to the direction of the wave.can only move through solid rocks.can be
recorded

3.Surface waves – source of interaction . travels directly upward to the epicenter

Magnitude - a measure of the amount of energy released

Intensity- amount of damage


Seismograph – a instrument that detects and measures waves

Seismogram – a record

PAG-ASA – Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration.

PAR – Philippine Area of Responsibility

WMO – World Meteorological Organization

PHIVOLCS – Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology

RADAR – radio detection and ranging

TYPHOONS

- Large storm system

Airmasses – weather changes are caused by the movements of bodies of air

2 types

1. Typhoons – northeast pacific ocean


2. Cyclones – Indian ocean.low pressure with rising warm air. Came from the latin word “kyklocin”

Coriolis effect - circulating air is deflected toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the left
in the Southern Hemisphere

Monsoon - the season of heavy rain, the wind that brings rain, or the heavy rain that falls during the
summer in hot Asian countries

Front – when two masses meet

2 types

1. Cold front
2. Warm front

Eye wall – strongest part

Spiral rainbods – katamtaman

Eye – calm center
