 Lesson Geological Hazards:
1 Landslides and Sinkholes

Geological hazards are associated with earth materials such as toxic

materials or earth processes which include landslides, earthquakes, sinkholes
and many more. For some communities, these geological hazards turn into
impacts of disaster. These may cause injury, disability, loss of home, loss of
income, and even loss of loved ones. Communities can reduce and even
eliminate these losses by taking precautionary measures, learning about
preparedness and immediate response, and imbibing a culture of safety. In this
module we will be focusing more on landslides and sinkholes.

What’s In

As what have been discussed on the last module, volcanic hazards

include pyroclastic flow, lava flow, ashfall, lahar, volcanic gases, volcanic debris,
avalanche and tsunami. On the other hand, earthquake is a sudden and violent
shaking of the ground, sometimes causing great destruction, as a result of
movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action. Now, what other
geological hazards present here in the Philippines? What are the causes of these
other geological hazards? What are the signs of an impending geological hazard?
Let’s find out.
 Notes to the Teacher
Use the latest and current events of disasters that happened in the
Philippines as examples to make the students updated and informed.
Let the learners be aware on what is happening in their communities.

 What is It

Geological Hazards
Geological hazards are gradual or sudden natural earth processes which
cause injury, loss of life, property damage, loss of livelihood and services, social
and economic disruption, or environmental changes. These include
earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruption, sinkholes etc. This module
discusses the geological hazards landslides especially rainfall-induced
landslides and sinkholes.

1. Landslide
A landslide is rock, dirt, or debris falling down a sloping section of land.
Landslides are caused by storms, earthquakes, volcanoes or other factors
which makes the slope unstable.

There are three major causes of landslides:

a) Geology – this refers to the material of the soil or rock in the area or can
be the layers of earth has weakened or stiffened in some part.
b) Morphology – this refers to the structure of the land. The soil or rock
has weakened through loss of vegetation or root system which holds the
soil in place. Another is prolonged rainfall or heavy water leakage that
increases the weight of the land mass therefore as the water flows,
sediments and soils also comes with it.
c) Human activity – to make way for agriculture and construction, trees
are needed to be cut down. Irrigation, deforestation, and excavation can
weaken the integrity of the earth.

The most common landslide we have experienced here in the Philippines

is the rainfall-induced landslide. This is what we will be focusing on in terms
of the impending signs and on the mitigation in the next module.

Rainfall-induced Landslide

This occurs due to prolonged or heavy rainfall, increasing the weight of

the land mass. The development of a rainfall-induced landslide may take
several days but the landslide itself will only take a few minutes to cause a
disaster. Rainfallinduced landslides can form debris flows when they mix with
additional water and sediments from their path. It may sweep away a whole
community in an instant.
The diagram shows an example of a rainfall-induced landslide:

tion_a
nd_dynamics_considering_two_initiation_mechanisms/figures?lo=1&utm_source=google&utm_medium=organi
c

As you can see in the picture above, as the water flows down the slope
of a mountain, some sediments and soil may be swept away. If the integrity of
the soil is compromised for example poor vegetation or weakened earth, much
more of it will come flowing down.

The impending signs of a rainfall-induced landslide

Rainfall-induced landslide can happen anytime during a heavy and

prolonged rainfall. We cannot tell when exactly it will happen but there are
some signs that may indicate so:

• Unusual noises, such as breaking trees, or knocking boulders together,

can mean moving debris.
• As the landslide nears, a slight rumbling sound that rises in amplitude
is noticeable.
• Rapid rise in water levels of the creeks, likely followed by increased
turbidity (soil content).

The Early Warning System (EWS) of the Philippine Institute of

Volcanology and Seismology (PHILVOCS) and Philippine Atmospheric,
Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) are
monitoring systems designed to forecast events accompanying landslides in
order to provide a warning about hazards. By reducing the impact, it mitigates
risk.
2. Sinkhole

A sinkhole is a depression or hole caused by the collapse of the surface

layer of the ground. Water is the primary cause of most sinkholes when it
dissolves soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum.

Sinkholes has two kinds, natural or man-made. Natural sinkholes are

caused by physical or chemical erosion. The natural flow of water may erode
rock material while acidic substances may also dissolve and eventually weaken
it. Man-made sinkholes are caused by drilling, mining, road construction, and
broken water or underground pipes. Water may penetrate through mud and
rocks and eventually erode the ground underneath.

Types of sinkholes

1. Solution sinkholes – are common in areas that have thin cover of soil on
the surface of the ground which exposes the bedrock to water erosion. As
the bedrock erodes, particles collect in the spaces it leaves and a small
depression is formed over a period, eventually forming a hole. The
bedrock may collapse suddenly, or it may happen over time.
2. Cover Subsidence Sinkholes - this occur when the bedrock is covered by
soil and materials that are not well-knitted together. The soil in these
areas are made mostly of clay or sand. Once the bedrock starts to erode,
the clay or sand starts to enter through the cracks and settles into the
spaces left behind, creating a cavity on the surface of the soil.
3. Cover Collapse Sinkholes – occur when the bedrock is covered by a deep
layer of soil and earth. A crack starts once the bedrock begins to get
eroded. Weak points begin to form in the layers of soil above it. The weak
points eventually become a large hole within the bedrock that cannot
support the weight above it. The collapse occurs in an instant and can
create large holes in a matter of minutes.

The impending signs of a sinkhole

Sinkholes either man-made or natural can occur anytime. We cannot tell

when will the hole emerge but there are some signs that may indicate an
impending disaster.

• New cracks at the foundations of buildings and houses

• Cracks in an area
• Depressions at ground level
• Rapid appearance of a crater in the ground

14-wheeler truck falls into hole on Roxas

Boulevard in Manila

Published June 23, 2019 11:50am

A 14-wheeler dumper loaded with 16 tons of sand fell into a hole before dawn
Sunday when the pavement on a portion of Roxas Boulevard in Manila
collapsed under the truck's weight.

Citing initial information, GMA News reported the incident occurred at about 2
a.m. Sunday at the corner of Roxas Boulevard and Remedios St.

According to the truck's driver, they came from Pampanga to deliver sand for
the Manila Bay rehabilitation project.

Driver Michael Layco was quoted as saying they were supposed to pass
through Roxas Boulevard, but traffic enforcers directed them to take the service
road to give way for the Manila marathon 2019 event, and as he turned at
 Remedios Street corner, the concrete covering a huge drainage canal collapsed,
leaving the truck half-buried in the hole.

As of Sunday morning MMDA personnel were still finding ways to pull the truck
from the hole.

For its part, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) said it was
looking into the matter.

"DPWH is currently investigating the incident in Roxas Bouleverad involving a

14wheeler-truck loaded with sand. Equipment and personnel have now been
deployed," DPWH Secretary Mark Villar said in a statement.

The department also explained that the double-barrel box culvert along
Remedios street was constructed in the 1970s. — Jon Viktor

 What I Can Do

Sinkholes can be a major issue affecting people, homes and public land.
This can be caused by the natural wearing away of one of the underground rock
layers, and aging utility pipes or broken septic tanks can cause sinkholes. There
are no known ways to prevent sinkholes, but this can be avoided by taking care
of your home and land and being aware of local concerns.

Directions: Interview one of your family members or any members in your home
using the following guide questions. Write your answers on another piece of
paper.

1. What do you think will happen if a sinkhole will occur in our home?
2. What damage can it cause in our home?
3. How do you think we can prevent this kind of scenario to
happen?
4. How can we lessen the damage it can bring?

Assessment

Directions: Choose the letter of the best answer and write it on a separate sheet

Directions: Read the personal blog: Anda, Bohol’s Enchanting Sinkhole:

Cabagnow Cave Pool, then answer the questions that follow on a separate sheet
of paper.

Anda, Bohol’s Enchanting Sinkhole:

Cabagnow Cave Pool
January 28, 2019 Author: rexlimlim52 2019
 That specific stimulus in my brain triggered a fear, a tinge of fear as a response, when
I steadily gripped the rungs of the ladder leading down into a deep cave pool. The
thalassophobia (fear of the sea) is about to kick in anytime as I have always felt when
swimming into the open, but this time, I was in a pool, inside a cave, the ones with creepy
stalactites protruding from the ceiling.
“Heto na talaga!” (“This is it!”) I told myself as I let go of the ladder and went completely
underwater.
A picture of a dark cave with a deep blue pool from beneath its ceiling tickled my
wanderlust. Eventually I learned that it is called the Cabagnow Cave Pool in Anda, Bohol.
Aside from The Plunge in Danao Adventure Park, it is also one of my must do’s in Bohol, to
jump down into this enchanting cave pool.
After laying eyes into Candijay, Bohol’s attraction, we went back to the Guindulman-Anda
Junction then transferred into a Motorella that took us directly to the jump-off point of
Cabagnow or Kabagno in Brgy. Bacong. From there it is just a short walk across coconut trees
before arriving into a private property.
At first it is nothing but simple underwhelming, since from afar it is just a small circular
sink hole fenced in bamboo stakes, but as soon as I craned my head towards what the hole
contains, it was a deep blue colored pool that is enchanting and at the same time, fear
inducing. We wasted no time and immediately went down the ladders after changing our
clothes and tested the inviting waters. I was hesitant at first to jump immediately as I always
had this fear of drowning when swimming into deep waters, this one is around 20 feet in its
deepest.
The water inside is sea water, owing to its proximity to the sea. I also learned that
Anda, just like most of the Chocolate Hills is made up of limestone, and because of the bedrock
being dissolved by sea water over time, natural sinkholes are formed.
There are at least six cave pools hidden in Anda which include Combento, Cateres,
Kaligoon, East Coast and Cabagnow being the largest of them all.
After being acquainted with the cave pool’s water, and my fear getting lesser by the minute,
I went back up, before doing what I want to do all along. JUMP!!
There are also floaters inside if you don’t want to swim at all.
