It is a localized unusual increase of sea water level beyond the predicted astronomical level?
- A.
Flood
- B.
Tsunami
- C.
Storm Surge
- D.
Downburst
- E.
All of the Above
- F.
None of the Above
Correct Answer
C. Storm SurgeExplanation
A storm surge is a localized unusual increase in sea water level beyond the predicted astronomical level. It is caused by a combination of strong winds and low atmospheric pressure associated with a storm or hurricane. This surge of water can cause flooding in coastal areas, often resulting in significant damage to property and infrastructure. Unlike a tsunami, which is caused by seismic activity, a storm surge is specifically related to weather events. Therefore, the correct answer is storm surge.Rate this question:

These areas in the Philippines are usually affected by tropical cyclones EXCEPT?
- A.
Northern Luzon
- B.
Central Luzon
- C.
Eastern Visayas
- D.
Western Mindanao
Correct Answer
D. Western MindanaoExplanation
Western Mindanao is not usually affected by tropical cyclones because it is located in the southwestern part of the Philippines, away from the usual path of typhoons. Northern Luzon, Central Luzon, and Eastern Visayas are more prone to tropical cyclones due to their proximity to the Pacific Ocean where typhoons often originate.Rate this question:

Tsunami literally means ____________________ in Japanese?
- A.
Big Waves
- B.
Harbor Waves
- C.
Deadly Waves
- D.
Ocean Waves
Correct Answer
B. Harbor WavesExplanation
Tsunami literally means "harbor waves" in Japanese. This term refers to a series of large ocean waves that are caused by underwater disturbances, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. These waves can travel across the ocean at high speeds and can cause significant damage and loss of life when they reach coastal areas. The term "harbor waves" is an accurate description of the nature of tsunamis, as they often result in the flooding and destruction of harbors and coastal regions.Rate this question:

According to NOAA "National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration"during tornadoes you must?
- A.
Get in, Get down and Cover up
- B.
Duck in, Get down and Cover up
- C.
Get in, Phase down and Cover up
- D.
Duck in, Phase down Cover up
- E.
Get in, Duck in, Phase down, Cover up
Correct Answer
A. Get in, Get down and Cover upExplanation
During tornadoes, it is recommended to "Get in, Get down, and Cover up" according to NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). This means finding a small, windowless interior room on the lowest level of a sturdy building, such as a basement or a bathroom, and taking cover by getting down low and covering your head and neck with your arms or a mattress. This helps to protect against flying debris and reduces the risk of injury during a tornado.Rate this question:

It is a short term sea level rise caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun?
- A.
High tide
- B.
Low tide
- C.
Neap tide
- D.
Astronomical high tide
- E.
All of the above
- F.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. High tideExplanation
High tide refers to the periodic rise in sea level due to the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun. The gravitational forces exerted by these celestial bodies cause the water on Earth's surface to bulge, leading to high tide. This phenomenon occurs twice a day and is responsible for the periodic fluctuation in sea levels. Therefore, the correct answer is high tide.Rate this question:

Check at least 3 secondary effects of flooding
- A.
Powerloss
- B.
Decline in tourism
- C.
Food shortage
- D.
Damage to transportation
- E.
Loss of lives
- F.
Damage in infrastructure
Correct Answer(s)
A. Powerloss
C. Food shortage
D. Damage to transportationExplanation
Flooding can cause power loss as the rising water can damage electrical infrastructure, leading to outages. Additionally, floodwaters can contaminate food supplies, leading to a shortage of food. The damage to transportation infrastructure, such as roads and bridges, can make it difficult for goods and supplies to be transported, exacerbating the food shortage. Therefore, power loss, food shortage, and damage to transportation are three secondary effects of flooding.Rate this question:

It is the most common among flood control structures which are used to prevent water from escaping river banks.
- A.
Sand baging
- B.
Artificial leeves
- C.
Flood barriers
- D.
Water dams
Correct Answer

Meteors are those which are still in flight in the Earth’s atmosphere while meteoroids are same as meteorite except meteoroids have already hit the earth surface.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement is false because it incorrectly states that meteoroids have already hit the Earth's surface. In reality, meteoroids are small rocky or metallic objects that are in space and have not yet entered the Earth's atmosphere. Once they enter the atmosphere and begin to burn up, they are called meteors. If any part of the meteoroid survives and reaches the Earth's surface, it is then called a meteorite.Rate this question:

What is the simplified equation on how limestone is dissolve by carbonic acid from the atmosphere:
- A.
CaC02+H2CO3 = Ca +2 + 2HCO23-2
- B.
CaC03+H2CO3 = Ca +2 + 2HCO23-2
- C.
CaC02+H2CO2 = Ca +2 + 2HCO23-2
- D.
CaC02+H2CO3 = Ca +3 + 2HCO22-3
Correct Answer
B. CaC03+H2CO3 = Ca +2 + 2HCO23-2Explanation
The correct answer is "CaC03+H2CO3 = Ca +2 + 2HCO23-2". This equation represents the reaction between limestone (CaCO3) and carbonic acid (H2CO3). In this reaction, limestone is dissolved, resulting in the formation of calcium ions (Ca+2) and bicarbonate ions (HCO3-). The balanced equation shows that for every molecule of limestone, one calcium ion and two bicarbonate ions are produced.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
B. Land Collision
G. DroughtExplanation
A large impact event can have several potential effects, including wildfires, climate change, earthquakes, tsunamis, acid rain, and drought. However, land collision is not typically considered a direct effect of such an event. Land collision refers to the collision of two land masses, which is not directly caused by an impact event. Drought, on the other hand, can occur as a result of the disruption to the climate patterns caused by the impact.Rate this question:

Moderate El Nino/ La Nina – deviation in sea surface temperature by +1.0 to +1.5 oC for an El Nino or -1.0 to -1.5 oC for a La Nina.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because a moderate El Nino or La Nina event is characterized by a deviation in sea surface temperature. During El Nino, the sea surface temperature is higher than normal, with a deviation of +1.0 to +1.5 degrees Celsius. On the other hand, during La Nina, the sea surface temperature is lower than normal, with a deviation of -1.0 to -1.5 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the statement is correct as it accurately describes the temperature deviations associated with moderate El Nino and La Nina events.Rate this question:

- A.
TRUE
- B.
FALSE
- C.
None of the above
- D.
Option 4
Correct Answer
A. TRUEExplanation
The Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) is a measure of the pressure differences between Tahiti and Darwin. El Nino events are characterized by negative SOI values, indicating lower pressure in the eastern Pacific and higher pressure in the western Pacific. In contrast, La Nina events are associated with positive SOI values, indicating higher pressure in the eastern Pacific and lower pressure in the western Pacific. Therefore, it is true that El Nino is detected by a negative SOI, while La Nina is detected by a positive SOI.Rate this question:

- A.
SSTA and OICC
- B.
SOI and STAA
- C.

- D.
SSTI and OOCI
Correct Answer
B. SOI and STAAExplanation
PAG ASA defines (detects) the ENSO Phenomenon based on two factors: the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) and the Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly (SSTA). The SOI measures the pressure differences between Tahiti and Darwin, which helps determine the strength of the atmospheric component of ENSO. The STAA, or Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly, measures the deviation from normal sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, which is a key indicator of the oceanic component of ENSO. By analyzing both the SOI and STAA, PAG ASA can accurately identify and monitor the ENSO Phenomenon.Rate this question:
