The document provides information about earthquakes, including key terms and concepts:
- The focal point or hypocenter is the area inside the Earth where an earthquake starts. The epicenter is the point at the Earth's surface directly above the hypocenter.
- Intensity measures earthquake damage and is measured using the Mercalli scale, while magnitude measures the energy released and is quantified using the Richter scale.
- There are two main types of faults - active faults where displacement currently occurs and inactive faults where movement has not been observed in millions of years. The five major active fault lines in the Philippines are also listed.
