2nd Quarter

Name: Section:
 Week 1-3 (Earthquakes and Faults, The Quake Starts)
LEARNINING TASKS 1:
A. Direction: Use the word bank to fill in the paragraph below.

Line earthquake faults apart

crust
Sideward together

An is when two pieces of the earth’s

move or break apart and slide past one another. The on which the
crust breaks is calledthe “Fault”. can move in several directions and
are defined as; Normal faults, Thrust faults and Strike-slip faults depending on how
they move. Normal faults move the sides from one another. A
Thrust fault pushes the side _ and a Strke-slip fault moves
to the fault line.
B. Direction: Encircle the letter of the correct answer.
1. Which among of the following is the safest location during an earthquake?
a. inside the house c. in an open area
b. inside the car d. under a tree
2. What type of stress causes the formation of mountains?
a. compression stress c. confining stress
b. shear stress d. tension stress
3. What will be produced if there is a sudden movement of the earth’s crust due to
the release of stress accumulated along geologic faults or by volcanic activity?
a. tsunami c. earthquake
b. typhoon d. flood
