GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, we can say that earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and landslides can be categorized as geological hazards.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hazards associated with earth processes (earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, avalanches, rock slides and rock falls, soil creep, subsidence, floods, frost heave, coastal hazards).

Detailed explanation-3: -Landslides of all kinds, including seismically-triggered landslides, debris flows, mud flows, and rock falls. Mineral hazards such as asbestos, radon, and mercury. Volcanic hazards, such as ash fall, lava flows, lahars, pyroclastic flows, toxic gases, and volcanic landslides.

Detailed explanation-4: -Geologic hazards cause immense damage, loss of property, and sometimes life. The UW and its partners are working together, using their broad base of expertise, to improve on current and accepted approaches to predicting and mitigating geologic hazards, including earthquakes, volcanoes, and landslides.

Detailed explanation-5: -Earthquakes-Liquefaction (soils), Tsunamis. Volcanic Eruptions-Lava Flows, Ash Fall, Lahars. Landslides-Rock Falls or Slides, Debris Flows, Mud Flows.
