- Q1
A country recovering from a devastating typhoon decides to invest in "build back better" initiatives. What does this approach emphasize?
Strengthening structures and improving urban planning to reduce future risks
Relocating all affected communities to new areas
Rebuilding infrastructure exactly as it was before
Focusing only on economic recovery and ignoring environmental concerns
60s - Q2
A large metropolitan area is at risk of earthquakes. What is the most effective way for the government to prepare its residents?
Stockpiling emergency supplies in public spaces
Relocating residents to earthquake-resistant shelters
Conducting mandatory earthquake drills and strengthening building codes
Increasing the number of emergency responders
60s - Q3
After a magnitude 7.5 earthquake, a town near a river reports water levels dropping significantly. Based on this observation, what should residents prepare for?
A possible tsunami or seiche (water wave caused by seismic activity).
A new water source emerging from underground.
A sudden increase in groundwater availability.
Increased agricultural productivity.
60s - Q4
During an eruption, a dense, ground-hugging cloud of hot ash and gas rapidly moves down a volcano’s slope, covering everything in its path. What is this called?
Ashfall
Lava Dome
Pyroclastic flow
Tephra Fall
60s - Q5
How does ground shaking lead to liquefaction?
It causes water-saturated soil to lose strength
It hardens soft soil
It increases the density of soil
It forces water to the surface permanently
60s - Q6
A hazard map shows that a city is at risk of liquefaction during a strong earthquake. Which construction method is most appropriate for new buildings in this area?
Using deep foundation pilings to stabilize structures
Building structures on elevated wooden platforms
Constructing buildings with lightweight materials only
Avoiding the use of any foundation at all
60s - Q7
A volcanic hazard map shows that pyroclastic flows could reach a town within 15 kilometers of an active volcano. What is the best mitigation strategy for the community?
Strengthening infrastructure to withstand pyroclastic flows
Planting more trees to slow down the lava flow
Ignoring the hazard map since the volcano has been inactive for years
Relocating to a safer distance outside the hazard zone
60s - Q8
A volcanic island has experienced multiple small earthquakes over the past week. According to hazard assessment, what is the most likely cause?
Magma movement beneath the volcano, indicating potential eruption.
A shift in tectonic plates that will reduce volcanic activity.
Changes in ocean currents affecting seismic activity.
Normal seasonal variations in ground temperature.
60s - Q9
A new strain of a virus spreads globally, causing disruptions in trade, education, and healthcare. Which category does this disaster belong to?
Technological hazard
Hydrometeorological hazard
Biological hazard
Geophysical hazard
60s - Q10
After a volcanic eruption, communities experience food shortages due to damaged crops. What type of impact is this?
Social
Economic
Environmental
Psychological
60s - Q11
A city government wants to reduce the risk of flooding in low-lying areas. Which long-term solution would be most effective?
Constructing higher roads and sidewalks
Relocating all residents to higher ground
Increasing the number of emergency rescue boats
Implementing strict zoning laws and restoring wetlands
60s - Q12
A volcano hazard map shows that a town is located in the potential path of lava flows. What should the local government do to reduce disaster risk?
Build concrete walls to stop lava from reaching the town.
Rely on local myths to predict eruptions.
Encourage tourism to generate economic benefits.
Establish permanent no-build zones in high-risk areas.
60s - Q13
A strong earthquake triggers a landslide that buries an entire village. What key factor most likely contributed to the severity of the landslide?
The depth of the earthquake’s epicenter
The presence of nearby industrial plants
The population’s lack of earthquake drills
Heavy rainfall prior to the earthquake
60s - Q14
A volcano is showing signs of increased activity, including ground deformation and rising temperatures in nearby hot springs. What should authorities do next?
Ban all outdoor activities in the entire country.
Allow unrestricted construction near the volcano.
Increase monitoring and inform residents of potential risks.
Assume the activity is normal and take no action.
60s - Q15
Following a massive oil spill in the ocean, what is the most immediate environmental concern?
Contamination of marine ecosystems and loss of biodiversity
Increased global oil prices
Declining fish population
Disruption of local tourism
