    The document summarizes the anatomy of an earthquake, identifying its key parts and classifications. It describes the four parts of a fault as the fault plane, fault trace, hanging wall, and footwall. It also outlines the three main classifications of faults: normal faults where the hanging wall moves down, reverse faults where the hanging wall moves up, and strike-slip faults where two blocks slide past each other along the same plane. The document provides diagrams labeling examples of these parts and classifications to help students understand the anatomy of an earthquake.

    Activity Title: Anatomy of an earthquake Activity No:2
    Reference (s): Estrellita A. Madriaga, 2017, Science Links 7 Worktext for Scientific and Technological Literacy, Rex Book Store,
    Manila pp. 13-14

    Learning Target/s:
    a. Identify the parts of an earthquake fault and its classifications.
    I. LEARNING EXPERIENCE:
    a. Concept Notes
    Fault- is a crack across which the rocks have been offset first.
    Four Parts of faults
    1. Fault plane – maybe slopping or vertical; the part where the fault occurs.
    2. Fault Trace – a line that may be visible or not, which occurs on earth’s surface.
    3. Hanging Wall – refers to the block of crust above the faults
    4. Foot Wall – refers to the block of crust below the fault
    Classifications of Earthquake according to their angle of dip and their relative displacement:
    1. Normal Fault – a fault in which the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall as a result of
    extension. Ex: Cabrillo Fault
    2. Reverse Fault (Thrust Fault) – a fault in which the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall
    as a result of compression. Ex: Sumatra Earthquake fault in 2004
    3. Strike-Slip Fault – a fault in which two blocks of crust slide past each other on the same plane

    b. Checking for Understanding

    B. Classifications of fault

    1. 2. 3.
    c. Processing Questions:
    1. What do you think will happen if Earth has no fault?

    2. Why it is important especially engineers to locate first the fault lines before building?

    d. Framing Concepts
    Directions: Fill in the concept map.
