"Rotation" refers to an object's spinning motion about its own axis.
"Revolution" refers the object's orbital motion around another object.
A ground failure or loss of strength structures that can cause major damage of infrastructure like roads after an earthquake.
Liquefaction
A type of Volcano which is considered dead and are not expected to ever erupt again due to depleted magma supply.
Extinct Volcanoes

What does NOAH stands for?
Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards
What causes day and night?
When we are on the side of Earth that is facing the Sun, we have daylight. As Earth continues its spin, we are moved to the side facing away from our Sun, and we have nighttime.
It is the blanket of air around the Earth and makes it warm.

An instrument that measures the humidity.
Hygrometer
Why is earth known as the blue planet?
bodies of water and other that are in liquid form
Give the three criteria that determines whether the celestial body is a planet.
1. It is in orbit around the sun.
2. It has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape.
3. It has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit.
How are Jovian planets different from terrestrial planets?
Jovian planets are made up of gases, whereas terrestrial planets are made up of rocky materials.
Give all the 8 planets in the Solar System. (in order)
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune
Differentiate Amihan and Habagat
Amihan is known as the Northeast monsoon. Brings colder and drier air to the country
Habagat is known as the Southwest monsoon. Hot and humid weather, frequent heavy rainfall, and a prevailing wind from the western parts.
