SCIENCE TEACHER
MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCY

Differentiate the
1. Epicenter of an
Earthquake from its focus;
2. Intensity of an Earthquake
from its magnitude
3. Active and inactive faults
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
My goals for today:

1. Differentiate epicenter of an
earthquake from its focus.

2. Compare the intensity of

an earthquake with its
magnitude.

3. Determine the active faults in

the Philippines.
 RECAP
1. What is a fault? - a break in the rocks that make up the Earth's crust
2. PHIVOLCS stands for
- PHILIPPINE INSTITUTE OF VOLCANOLOGY & SEISMOLOGY
3. What force causes the stretching and elongation of the Earth’s crust?
- tension
4. Forces that create faults on Earth's crust
- stress
5. What type of stress is associated with a strike-slip fault?
- shearing
6. What type of fault involves the hanging wall moving down and the footwall moving up
as the crust moves towards each other?
- Normal Fault
 RECAP
7. It occurs when the hanging wall moves up while the footwall moves down.
- reverse fault
8. It is the starting point of the earthquake.
- focus
9. A device that can detect and record seismic
waves. - seismograph

10. What type of faulting be most likely to occur

along transform faults?
- Strike - slip fault
