Content Earthquakes and Faults: 1. What is Fault?

Content Standard The learners demonstrate an understanding the relationship between faults and earthquakes.
Performance Standard The learners shall be able to participate in decision making on where to build structures based on knowledge of the location of
active faults in the community.
Learning Competency Using models or illustrations, explain how movements along faults generate earthquakes. (S8ES-IIa-14)
Lesson Objectives At the end of this lesson, the students should be able to:
1. Define fault;
2. Describe the appearance of a fault;
3. Explain how fault forms; and
4. Differentiate the types of fault movement.

Instruction:
Get ¼ sheet of paper. Choose the letter of the best answer. Each
item will flash every 30 seconds.

1. Which of the following describes a fault?

A. An energy released from the inside of the Earth
B. A movement in the Earth’s crust
C. A break in the Earth’s crust
D. A rock layer

2. What occurs when faults move?

A. volcanic eruption
B. earthquake
C. landslide
D. drought

3. Why is it that not all movements along faults produce

earthquakes?
A. It is because the energy of the Earth that causes the rocks to
move is very strong enough.
B. It is because the friction between rocks was not overcome by
the energy of the Earth.
C. It is because there is no friction present between the rocks.
D. It is because the layers of rocks were not broken.

4. How do faults produce earthquakes?

A. Energy from inside the Earth makes the ground move, once
friction is overcome, a fault slips producing an earthquake.
B. Rock materials from underneath go out along faults
produces earthquakes.
C. Magma spreads beneath the rock layers producing faults.
D. Tectonic plates collide producing earthquakes.

5. Which government agency is responsible for studying the

movements of faults and earthquakes? A. DOH
B. DepEd
C. PAGASA “Are you done class? “Yes, Sir!”
D. PHIVOLCS

phenomena anyone can experience. It can destroy
properties and even lives. An earthquake is a sudden
shaking of Earth's surface caused by the movement
of rocks deep underneath. Mostly, those movements
occur in faults. But what are fault? How does it
form? Let’s find out in our next activity.”

EXPLORE (15 MINUTES)

Activity 1. A FAULT-Y SETUP (Modified) “Are you excited to learn more about faults and (The students will do the activity)
earthquakes? Take time to do the following activities.
Objectives: Let’s begin.”
1. Describe the appearance of a fault.
2. Explain how fault forms. (The teacher facilitates the students during the
activity.)
Materials:
• Two sheets of cardboard (or folder)
• Fine sand
• Ruler
• Newspaper (or plastic sheet)

Groupings:
Counting 1 to 4 the student from 1 to 4

Procedure:
1. Spread a newspaper on a table or big flat surface. Do the
activity on the newspaper to avoid sand spilling everywhere.
2. Arrange the two sheets of cardboard edge to edge as shown
in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Cardboard sheets placed side by side

3. Between the two sheets, along the boundary, pour the sand
(Figure 2).

Figure 2. Sand along the boundary

4. Carefully flatten the top of the sand using a ruler, and create
two parallel lines on it.

5. Now, slowly move the sheets in the direction shown in

Figure 3. Move these sheets just to the point that one sheet is
halfway of the other sheet and observe what happens.

direction (Set-up 1)
6. Now, reset the set-up from Procedure 1 to 4. Slowly move
the sheets in the direction shown in Figure 4. Move these sheets
just to the point that one sheet is halfway of the other sheet and
observe what happens.

7. Now, reset the set-up from Procedure 1 to 4. Slowly move

the sheets in the direction shown in Figure 5. Move these sheets
just to the point that one sheet is halfway of the other sheet and
observe what happens.

8. Draw your observations in the following table and answer

the questions. Choose one group reporter to present your
outputs in front of class.

OBSERVATIONS:

QUESTIONS:
1. As you move the cardboards, what can be seen in
the sand in Set-up 1, 2, and 3?

2. What happened to the lines?
