lightning storm, electrical storm, and thundershowers

thunderstorm is also known as

54

thunderstorm

It is typically exemplified with
heavy rains accompanied with
thunder

New cards
55

true

True or False? Given that thunder is a result
of lightning, all thunderstorms
have lightning.

cumulonimbus clouds

Thunderstorms happen commonly
with the

57

archetypal thunderstorm

15 miles in diameter and last for about 30 minutes.


New cards
58

Cumulus stage

The initial stage in thunderstorm is identified as

New cards
59

cumulus stage

The warm air increases and
wa t e r va p o r c o n c e n t ra t e s t o a
towering cumulus clouds which could
ascend a height of 8-10 km.


New cards
60

maturing stage

the second stage in thunderstorms is called

New cards
61

maturing stage

It is where clouds can generate
heavy rains, relentless lightning,
strong and gusty winds, hail and
sometimes tornadoes. It is at
this stage where thunderstorm is
at its strongest.

New cards
62

falseee

true or false? the maturing stage is the stage where thunderstorms is at its weakest

New cards
63

dissipating stage


is when precipitation decreases

its intensity and clouds begin to
dissipate. Some thunderstorm
produces a burst of strong winds
and lightning lingers risk during
this stage

New cards
64

flood

These hyrometeorological hazards
are capable of generating large
amount of precipitation that pour to
t h e h e av i l y c l o g ge d s e we ra ge
systems of the metropolis causing
the unnecessary water surplus

New cards
65

flood

b a s i c a l l y m e a n s a n
overf lowing of water from streams
and other bodies of water or an
accumulation of rainwater in low-
lying areas

New cards
66

flood

transitory pour out of
a normally waterless area due to
s pill over of a body of water,
remarkable build up, run off of
surface waters or atypical erosion
or destabilization of shoreline

New cards
67

flood

can also be overflow of
mud f low caused by a buildup of
water underground.

New cards
68

heavy and extended rainfall

Hydrometeorological
disturbances such as tropical cyclones, low pressure areas,
inter tropical convergence zone, cold fronts and monsoons
could lead to heavy floodings.

New cards
69

storm surge

It can generate elevation of ocean level to
ground height to several feet and flood nearby low-lying
coastal communities.

New cards
70

high tide

that coincides with high stream flows can
aggravate flooding near the coast.

New cards
71

infrastructure and coastal development

It increases the resistance of
ground surfaces due to concrete roads and loss its ability to soak up f lood waters
and may result to flash flooding

New cards
72

infrastructure and coastal development

It increases the resistance of
ground surfaces due to concrete roads and loss its ability to soak up f lood waters
and may result to flash flooding

New cards
73

blasting

generates landslides in the slopes of hills and mountains and may
result to unintended damning of rivers and streams

New cards
74

blasting

generates landslides in the slopes of hills and mountains and may
result to unintended damning of rivers and streams

New cards
75

deforestation

decreases the permeation capacity and speed of the flood flows

New cards
76

failure of levees and dams

can produce the worst f lood events by releasing
large quantities of water.


New cards
77

minor flooding

flooding that may or may not be cause by
overbanking. It could be simply due to build up of unwarranted
surface overflow water in f lat low-lying areas. Flood water is usually
confined along riverbeds and low-lying areas of the metropolis

New cards
78

major flooding


flooding is a result of overflowing rivers and lakes;

serious damage from major water reservoir likes dams, dikes or levees;
Flood waters affects many neighborhood and stretch rapidly to adjacent
shoreline of comparatively lower elevation. There is a persistent water
current in some areas particularly seem in deep flooding

New cards
79

flash floods

Normally floods take about 12 to 24 hours or longer
to develop after an intense downpour. But there is a
particular type which develops in less than 6 hours
commonly termed as

New cards
80

flash flood


build up in areas with steep slopes of

rivers.

New cards
81

storm surge

During a tropical cyclone it is common for
ocean waves to be pushed towards the shore
by the force of the wind and the intense
pressure of a heavy down pour.

New cards
82

daluyong ng bagyo

storm surge or?

New cards
83

storm surge

unusual ascend of water during a typhoon, over and
above the calculated high wave

New cards
84

storm tide

elevation of water level during a typhoon caused by
both high tide and storm surge

New cards
85

coastal flooding

is a direct result of storm
surge

New cards
86

3-6 hrs

Storm surges can set off flooding coastal areas

New cards
87

20

A Super Typhoon can spawn a storm
surge elevation of more than __ feet
above sea level

New cards
88

wind/pressure effect


Winds is directly proportional

to storm surge and inversely proportional to atmospheric
pressure.

New cards
89

rainfall effect

Heavy precipitation caused by
typhoons increase the total surge height near the coast.

New cards
90

tidal effect

If the storm surge coincides with the
occurrence of astronomical tide, surge height will be higher

New cards
91

shape of the coastline


The gentler is the slope, the

higher is the surge in the coastal areas

New cards
92

El Nino

Phenomenon is the extreme warming
of sea surface that develops in the Pacific Ocean

New cards
93

El nino

causes heavy rains in some parts of
the world and drought in other parts

New cards

El Niño, a Spanish term meaning

New cards
95

El Nino

It was the term used by Peruvian fishermen in
describing the warm ocean current f lowing
along its coast around Christmas season
