MESSAGE
This module will use by the grade 8 Students in science, the module contains
information and suggested learning activities on How earthquake waves provide
information about the interior of the Earth and it includes instructions and
procedures of all the activities to be done.
To the Learners:
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
understand on how earthquake waves provide information about the interior of the
Earth. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning
situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students.
The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order
in which you read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now
using.
Learning Objectives:
1. Discuss the characteristics of the different type of an Earthquake waves.
2. Illustrate how waves give us a picture of the earth’s interior.
3. Describe the interior layers of the Earth.
4. Draw and label the parts of the interior layers of the earth.
What I Know
Let us find out how much you already know about how earthquake waves provide
information about the interior of the Earth.
Part 1: Multiple Choices. Read and understand the statements /questions below.
Choose the letter of the best answer and write it in your answer sheet.
2
Part 11. Arrange the correct sequence of the Interior layers of the earth from the
Innermost to the uppermost layer. Write your answer on the blank before each layer
and use A, B, C, D, and E instead of numbering from 1 to 5.
What’s In
FORGET ME NOT!
This task is a flash back of the lesson discuss in your module 1 for Quarter 2 of
Week 2. It is always a best practice to look back and connect lessons that have learned
to the new one for you to keep the essential knowledge you need to remember. So let
us now proceed by looking at the illustration of an Earthquake and giving a feed back
to the five important words found in the brown box of Mr. Do you remember me.

Earthquakes and Tsunamis
In March 2011, a powerful earthquake took place in the Pacific Ocean near
Japan. Afterward, a tsunami hit Japan. Tens of thousands (please check
approximate figures) Twenty thousand people were killed. More than a million
houses and buildings were damaged or destroyed.
In December 2004, a strong earthquake occurred in the Indian Ocean near
Indonesia. A tsunami soon followed. More than 200,000 people were confirmed
dead, many of them in Indonesia, Thailand, India, and Sri Lanka.
In 1976, an earthquake took place in the Moro Gulf in Mindanao. Later on,
a tsunami hit nearby coastal areas. Thousands of people were killed. Many more
were declared missing.
What is the connection between earthquakes and tsunamis?
Faults are found not only on land but also under the sea. When a fault at the
bottom of the sea suddenly moves, the water above it can be affected. A sudden
push from an underwater fault can produce a wave called a tsunami.
Unlike a wave that is formed by the wind, a tsunami is so much more
powerful. Wind waves are just sea-surface waves. In comparison, a tsunami
involves the whole depth of the sea, from the seafloor to the surface.
Far from the shore, a tsunami is low, maybe just a meter high. But it travels
at the speed of a jet plane. When the tsunami reaches the shore, it slows down but
it grows in height.
A tsunami is very destructive because the force of the whole ocean is behind
it. This is the reason why whole towns and cities are totally devastated after a
tsunami attack.
So, how are earthquakes related to tsunamis? When a fault suddenly moves
on land, you get an earthquake. But if a fault suddenly moves in or near a body of
water, you may get a tsunami in addition to the earthquake.
Thus, when you are near the sea and you feel a strong earthquake, treat
that as a warning signal. Run to the highest place you can find, or if you have a
vehicle, evacuate inland.
Not every fault movement beneath the sea will produce a tsunami. Those
faults that move in a horizontal. direction or sideways will not result in a tsunami.
The fault has to move in the vertical sense. In the activity, a sudden upward push
triggered the wave.

REFLECT! It’s your turn to show what you have learned. Answer this!
5. Do you think there is also shaking in the inner core during an earthquake?
Why?
What is It
11
- S-wave can only travel in solid but not in Liquid and
gas.
- It is a form of transverse wave.
3. Love Wave - Moves on the surface of the ground from side to side
motion with a velocity of about 4 km/sec
- It is a form of a transverse wave
- Moves only in the ground surface in back and forth
path.
4. Rayleigh Wave - Moves on the surface of the ground slower than the
Love wave in a circular motion.
- The shaking that we felt during an earthquake is
caused by Rayleigh wave.
- Moves only in the surface of the ground in circular
motion.
For example, as seismic waves travel deeper into the crust, they speed up.
That means that at depth the rocks are denser. In the upper part of the
mantle, the waves slow down. That means the rocks there are partially
molten.
As the waves reach the core, one kind of seismic wave (s-waves)
disappears. That means that the outer core is liquid. At certain depths, the
waves are reflected and refracted (bent). That means the Earth must be
layered.
12
Thus, earthquake waves give us a picture of the Earth’s interior, the way an
“ultrasound” provides an image of a baby inside the womb. This is why
scientists know a bit about the interior of our home planet, even if no one
has gone deep into the Earth yet.
2. Mantle is divided into two parts, the upper mantle and the lower mantle. It is a
dense and hot semi-solid rock layer, composed mainly of Ferro-magnesium
Silicate. It is where most of the internal heat of the earth is located
3. The Core makes up one third (1/3) of the mass of the earth. Made up of two
distinct parts;
a. Outer Core is the thick liquid layer made up of iron and of very dense.
Thickest than the inner core.
b. Inner Core is solid is made up of solid iron and nickel. Many scientists
believe that it keeps in solid states due to the extreme pressure from the
other layers. It is the innermost layer of the earth.

Q4. Characteristics of the Earthquake waves.
Wave Type Characteristics
1. Primary Wave - Vibration is parallel to the direction
they are travelling in a push-pull
motion with a velocity of 4-6 km/sec
- P-wave can travel in solid, liquid,
and in gas. It can travel to the
different layers of the earth Interior
surfaces.
- It is form of a compression wave.
2. Secondary Wave - Vibration is perpendicular (Up and
Down) to their direction of travel with
a velocity of 3-4 km/sec
- S-wave can only travel in solid but
not in Liquid and gas.
- It is a form of transverse wave.
3. Love Wave - Moves on the surface of the ground
from side to side motion with a
velocity of about 4 km/sec
- It is a form of a transverse wave
- Moves only in the ground surface in
back and forth path.
4. Rayleigh Wave - Moves on the surface of the ground
slower than the Love wave in a
circular motion.
- The shaking that we felt during an
earthquake is caused by Rayleigh
wave.
- Moves only in the surface of the
ground in circular motion.
Q5. Body waves can travel deepest layer inside the earth while surface waves can only
travel at the surface ground.
Q6. The importance of Seismic waves;
1. Use to predict an earthquake and tsunami
2. Important in locating the Focus and epicenter of an earthquake.
3. It reveals information on the Earth’s interior composition and
4. Gives picture of what is inside the character?
Q7. Tsunami is a form of a powerful wave produce from a sudden push of underwater
Fault.
Q8. The relationship between Earthquake and tsunami is, when a fault suddenly moves
on land, you get an earthquake but if a fault suddenly moves in or near a body of water,
you may get a tsunami in addition to the earthquake.

4. SEAFLOOR 9. SECONDARY 14. MANTLE
5. SURFACE 10. SEISMIC 15. INTERIOR
Q9. The whole towns and cities are totally devastated whenever a tsunami attack because
it is much powerful than other form of wave that involves the whole dept of the sea
from the seafloor to the surface of water. Tsunami travels at the speed of a jet plane.
When the tsunami reaches the shore, it slows down but it grows in height.
Q10. Earthquake waves give us a picture of the Earth’s interior, the way an “ultrasound”
provides an image of a baby inside the womb. This is why scientists know a bit about the
interior of our home planet, even if no one has gone deep into the Earth yet. As seismic
waves travel deeper into the crust, they speed up. That means that at depth the rocks are
denser. In the upper part of the mantle, the waves slow down. That means the rocks
there are partially molten. As the waves reach the core, one kind of seismic wave
(s-waves) disappears. That means that the outer core is liquid. At certain depths,
the waves are reflected and refracted (bent). That means the Earth must be
layered.
Activity 2. What’s Inside the Earth
1. Four Layers of the Earth
a. Crust is the thinnest and brittle layer of the Earth’s Interior composed mainly of
aluminum silicates.
b. Mantle is a dense and hot semi-solid rock layer. It is composed mainly of Ferro-
magnesium Silicate. It is where most of the internal heat of the earth is located.
c. Outer Core is the thick liquid layer made up of iron and of very dense. Thickest than
the inner core.
d. Inner Core is solid is made up of solid iron and nickel. Many scientists believe that it
keeps in solid states due to the extreme pressure from the other layers. It is the
innermost layer of the earth.
2. Mantle & Crust
3. Crust is the thinnest layer.
4. Inner core
5. There is no shaking in the inner core, because the shaking we felt during an
earthquake is caused by the surface waves. Surface waves travels on the surface
of the ground only and cannot travel through liquid.
