 Not all movements along faults produce earthquakes because the friction between rocks was not overcome by the energy
of the Earth.
 Earthquakes commonly occur in Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines because they are found within the Pacific Ring of
fire.
 Faults produce earthquakes by energy from inside the Earth makes the ground move, once friction is overcome, a fault
slips producing an earthquake.
The correct sequence to locate the epicenter of a recent earthquake.
I. Obtain data from at least three different seismological stations
II. Determine the difference in the arrival of the P and S waves recorded from each seismological station.
III. Determine the distance of the epicenter from the station
IV. Use the triangulation method to locate the epicenter
 Active: A fault that can be a source of another earthquake.
 Inactive: Structures that we can identify, but which do not have earthquakes.
 Seismic waves are waves that are generated during an earthquake and they travel throughout the earth and can travel
through the surface and inner layers of the earth.

 Based on the figure, pair A and B waves can be used to determine the distance of the recording station to the epicenter.
 Typhoons usually start to develop from the low-pressure area. 26.5 0C is the temperature needed to warm the ocean
surface to maintain a warm core that powers up a tropical cyclone.
 The factors to consider to have an accurate typhoon track prediction are the typhoon’s position, the strength of high-and-
low pressure areas, and how these areas will migrate. The latitudes and longitudes indicate that the typhoon is within the
PAR is 5 ˚N 130 ˚E.
 Storm surge is caused by high winds pushing on the ocean’s surface. The Eastern boundary of the PAR is much farther
from the country than the Western boundary because most typhoons that hit the Philippines come from the Pacific
Ocean.
 If location E is within the eye of the tropical cyclone and location F is within the clouds surrounding the eye and making up
the eyewall. Wind speed at Location E and Location F is the wind speed at the eyewall is much greater than the wind
speed at the eye of the tropical cyclone

 Comets never appear in the sky for a longer time while meteors appear constantly.
 Based on the origin of comets and asteroids, the asteroid is most likely to make a frequent “visitor” of our earth. Silicates
are mineral that allows a comet and an asteroid to reflect more light.
