9. Earthquakes refers to the shaking of the Earth as a result of the breaking or shifting of the rocks of the
tectonic plates, which release seismic energy.
Faults are zone weakness in the crusts and earthquakes occur repeatedly in these areas.
Ninety five percent of the world’s earthquake occur along active plate boundaries. California, Alaska,
japan, south America, and the Philippines are all on plate boundaries. Only five percent are associated with
volcanic activities.
Active faults are areas where rock displacement can occur. According to seismologists, faults can be
considered active if there has been observed movement during the last 10,000 years. Active faults tend
to occur within the edges of tectonic plates.
Inactive faults are areas that do not produce earthquakes. Inactive faults are those that had not exhibit
activity for millions of years.

11. GUIDE QUESTIONS?
1.What provinces in the Region VIII
that has the traces of active faults?
2.Does our province has an active
fault?
3.What will happen when those faults
suddenly moves?
13. GUIDE QUESTIONS:
What happens to the rubber band?
What happens to the box attached
to the rubber band?
What happens to the “house”?
Which is the “fault” in this setup?
17. How do movement of
fault generates
earthquakes?
How earthquakes cause
damage?

Create an Earthquake drill video
presentation together with your
household members showing
precautionary measures for the
occurrence of earthquakes.
