    The group presented on two topics: typhoons and landslides/erosion. [1] Typhoons form over warm tropical oceans and intensify into powerful storms through convection and rotation, causing widespread damage when making landfall in the Philippines. [2] Landslides occur when heavy rain or earthquakes weaken slopes, causing the ground to collapse and flow downhill, endangering lives. Erosion is the gradual wearing away and transportation of earth materials by forces like wind and water, reshaping landscapes over long periods. The group then provided details on the strongest typhoons to hit the Philippines and deadliest landslide incidents.

    01
    TYPHOONS
    Typhoons, also known as tropical cyclones or hurricanes, are intense
    storms that originate over warm tropical oceans. They begin as
    atmospheric disturbances known as tropical waves, often forming in the
    tropics where the sun shines directly for most of the year. These waves
    can intensify into typhoons if the sea surface temperature underneath is
    at least 26.5 degrees Celsius, providing enough heat energy and water.
    The atmosphere’s vertical temperature profile must also allow for
    convection, where warm air rises and cools enough to condense the
    water vapor it carries. As the tropical wave travels, it encounters
    persistent converging winds in the lower and middle part of the
    troposphere, often associated with thunderstorms, which can intensify
    the storm’s counterclockwise cyclonic rotation. If these forces meet
    more than 300 miles away from the equator, the Coriolis force, caused
    by the Earth’s rotation, will intensify the storm’s rotation. Typhoons
    form when areas of high pressure rush toward areas of low pressure,
    creating wind. When the storm begins to rotate and organize around an
    “eye” of low pressure, it is well on its way to becoming a typhoon.
    Storms are categorized as typhoons when they reach wind speeds of 74
    miles per hour.
    TOP THREE
    STRONGEST TYPHOONS
    FROM THE PHILIPPINES

    This typhoon hit the Philippines in In 2021, Typhoon Odette made In 2012, Typhoon Pablo hit
    2013 and had wind speeds of up to landfall in the Philippines with the Philippines with wind
    195 mph at landfall. It caused wind speeds of up to 190 mph. speeds of up to 175 mph at

    LANDSLIDES
    Landslides, or "mass wasting," occur when
    gravitational stresses exceed the slope's
    shear strength. Factors like heavy rain,
    snowmelt, earthquakes, and human activities
    can trigger landslides. Safety measures
    include staying alert, especially during
    active landslide warnings, listening to local
    news for updates, evacuating if safe, and
    moving out of the landslide's path. It's also
    crucial to familiarize yourself with your
    area's landslide risk
    Mr.KnowsMore
    The most dangerous landslide incidents in the Philippines.

    1999 Cherry Hills landslide: On August 3, 1999, heavy rain induced by


    Typhoon Ising (Olga) spelled disaster for residents of Cherry Hills Subdivision in
    Antipolo City, when the ground beneath them broke apart and slid down the
    mountain. A total of 60 people died.

    2003 Panaon Island (Southern Leyte) debris flow: A low-pressure area brought
    nonstop rain to Panaon Island at the tip of Southern Leyte on December 19, 2003.
    That evening, loose soil, boulders, and debris rolled down towards houses in
    MERCURY
    Barangay Pinut-an in San Ricardo town, and in Sitio Lutao (Barangay Poblacion)
    and Barangay Punta in Liloan town. Authorities reported 154 people dead in Panaon
    Island due to the landslide
    2006 Guinsaugon landslide: Over 1,200 people died on February 11, 2006,
    when an earthquake triggered an avalanche of mud and boulders down a
    mountain slope towards Guinsaugon village in Saint Bernard, Southern Leyte.
    The landslide caught residents by surprise that day, but it had been building
    https://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/iq/212440-list-deadly-landslides-philippines/
    up for quite some time, following intense rainfall in the days leading up to the
    disaster.
    EROSIONS
    Erosion, a fundamental geological process, results in the wearing away and
    transportation of earthen materials by natural elements such as wind and water. It
    encompasses two principal forms: chemical and physical. Physical erosion
    primarily alters rocks, causing them to diminish in size or attain smoother
    surfaces. Rain, rivers, floods, lakes, and the ceaseless action of oceans play
    crucial roles in carrying away minuscule particles of soil and sand, gradually
    washing away sediment. These forces reshape the land, sculpting landscapes, and
    continuously transforming the Earth's surface over extended periods.
