That’s right! What is a typhoon all about?
Very good! That’s right! A hurricane or typhoon is A typhoon is a giant, rotating storm that

These winds collect moisture and rise, while
colder air moves in below. This creates pressure,
which causes the winds to move very quickly.
The winds rotate, or spin, around a center called
an eye. Hurricanes and typhoons can cause
catastrophic damage to coastlines and several
hundred miles inland.

D. Discussion
From the activity earlier, do you have an idea on
what could be our topic for today? (students give their
idea)
Bravo! That’s right! Our lesson for today is all about

earthquakes and faults. It is all about earthquakes.
“Did you know that the Philippines is located along the

Pacific Ring of Fire? The Philippines is located
somewhere here, this is not the actual occasion, but this
is just for representation purposes.
The Ring of Fire refers to the region around the Pacific
Ocean that is commonly hit by earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions.”
(shows a picture of Pacific Ring of Fire)
“An Earthquake is one of the most horrifying

phenomena that anyone can never experience, we first
thought that the earth is rock, solid, and steady,
however you may have experience that the ground
shakes, and this contradicts to what humans believed
before.”
“Earthquake have caused destruction all over the world
even in the past people have started recording these
events, no wonder scientist have been working very
hard to find ways to predict when earthquakes occur.
We cannot stop this natural event from occurring
however we learn all about earthquakes and prepare for
it.”
(shows an image of an earthquake model)
“Earthquakes are associated by faults. When a fault

suddenly moves an earthquakes occurs. A fault is a
break in the earth’s crust, and along the break
significant movement has taken place, the word “break”
refers to a crack in the ground, while crust refers to the
outer-most layer of the earth, we live on the surface of
the crust, and significant movement means that the rock
has been displaced or shifted considerably.”
Discuss the parts of a fault model.

(presents the fault model to the class)
1. Fault line – a break or fracture where in the
movement of masses of rock has displaced parts
of the earth’s crust.
2. Focus – the place inside earth’s crust where an
earthquake occurs.
3. Epicenter - the spot directly above the focus on
the surface of the earth.
4. Fault Plane – this is where fault slip or fault
movement happens.
5. Seismic waves - waves of energy caused by the
rupture, pass through the earth and we feel them
as an earthquake
The place where the Earthquake originates is called the

focus, the earth’s surface directly above the focus is
called an epicenter, the seismic waves travels outward
the focus in all direction when an energy is released,
scientists or experts in this field are called seismologist.
How strong is an earthquake?

There are two (2) major scales in which an
earthquake are measured: Intensity and Magnitude
1. Intensity - gives an idea of how strong or

weak the shaking is.
- It is the strength of an
earthquake perceived and felt by
people in a certain locality.
- It is expressed using the roman
numerals ( I, II, III, IV, etc.)
PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale

“Anyone know what the abbreviation PHIVOLCS
mean?” “Philippine Institute of Volcanology
“Yes! That’s right! PHIVOLCS stands for and Seismology.”
Philippine Institute of Volcanology and
Seismology, is a service institute of the Department of
Science and Technology (DOST) that is principally
mandated to mitigate disasters that may arise from
volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunami and other
related geotectonic phenomena.” They had this
PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale; they use this
one to describe the intensity of earthquake in our
country. (shows the intensity scale image)
2. Magnitude – the energy released by an
earthquake at the focus.
- Uses device which is the Richter
scale to measure the energy
released by the earthquake.
- Uses Hindu-Arabic numerals (2,
3,4, etc.)
- It is calculated from the
earthquakes recorded by an
instrument called seismograph.
(shows a picture of a
seismograph)
(shows an example of magnitude vs. intensity image)
But where does an earthquake start?

(shows a picture of an earthquake model) Let’s do an
activity!
Procedure:
1. Get 6 empty boxes and 3 stones with different
sizes. Pile the empty boxes one on top of the
other in groups of 3.
2. Place one pile near one end of the table and the
other pile at the other end.
3. Using a stone, strike one pile under table.
Observe the movement of the boxes in each pile.
4. Repeat using the two other stones one at a time.
“Observe the movement of the boxes as soon as

it strikes the pile with a stone.”
(insert video from youtube)
source:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Y55LUv6lN4
“In this activity the stone is what we called the

focus, the portion of the table directly above
where the stone was struck was the epicenter,
the table is the earth’s crust, the different sizes of
the stone is the magnitude, lastly how strong or
how weak the warbling was is the intensity.”
There are two classifications of Faults:

PHIVOLCS has the diagram that displaces the active
faults in the Philippines.
(shows the Philippine diagram )
1. Active Fault – one that has moved in the past

and is expected to move again. Faults are
commonly considered to be active if they have
moved one or more times in the last 10,000
years.
(shows an example of an active fault)
2. Inactive Fault – also called as a dead fault. Does
not cut or deform. As you can imagine, because
of the complexity of earthquake activity, judging a
fault to be inactive can be tricky, but often we can
measure the last time substantial offset occurred
across a fault.
(shows an example of an inactive fault)
“What could be the effects of movement of active fault?

Can you give me an example?
Yes, you are correct, all of that are the effects of
movements. Here are some of the effects:” (shows (students give example, may vary)
pictures of the example)
1. Strong Ground Motion
2. Surface Faults
3. Tectonic Deformation
4. Landslide and Rocks
5. Liquefaction
6. Tsunamis
7. Seiche
E. Generalization:
Class, what do you think is the reason why we
need to study about earthquakes?
(students answer may vary)
“Yes! Well Scientists study earthquakes because they “The reason why we need to study
want to know more about their causes and predict earthquakes is to know when exactly
where they are likely to happen.” earthquakes will occur, where they’ll
happen, and roughly how big they’ll be.”
“It is by the knowledge we gain from studying
earthquakes that we can start to understand their
impact on societies and to find ways to mitigate
damage.”
“They also need to know how the ground moves

during earthquakes. This information helps scientists
and engineers build safer buildings – especially
important buildings in an emergency, like hospitals
and government buildings.”
F. Valuing:
Earthquakes have always been part of the earth's
geology, and we all know the destructive effects of it, for
you class, What are the positive effects of earthquakes? “For me ma’am earthquakes provide a
Any idea? picture of what's going on underground.”
“Yes!, Earthquakes are very useful to humans because

they provide a picture of what’s going on underground.
This can make oil and gas extraction more efficient, and
allows scientists to monitor the progress of water during
geothermal energy extraction.
They also tell you what is happening in the structure of

the earth, for example, magma chambers, and allow
scientists to monitor volcanoes and the threat of
eruption.
Earthquakes can also tell us about the internal structure

of the Earth. By measuring the time it takes the seismic
waves to travel through the Earth we can map out the
structure of the Earth down to the core.
Tectonic activity is essential to sustaining life on Earth.

Matter is constantly being recycled between the
atmosphere and the crust. We have continents because
of tectonic activity. Mid ocean ridges support a huge
amount of life, and may have been important in the
origin of life, and the atmosphere is reliant on volcanic
eruptions for it’s composition.
