Date and Time November 21, 2022 (7:30-8:30 AM) Quarter 2nd
MELC Differentiate the:
1. epicenter of an earthquake from its focus;
2. intensity of an earthquake from its magnitude; and
3. active and inactive faults. (S8ES-IIa-15)

I. Objectives
 Define active and inactive faults; and
 Differentiate active and inactive faults.
II. Subject Matter
A. Topic: Earthquakes: Active and Inactive Faults
B. References: Science 8, SLM- Earthquakes Epicenter and Magnitude, pp.,1-10
C. Materials: Laptop, PowerPoint Presentation, Pictures
D. Time Allotment: 60 minutes

III. Procedure

A. Daily Routine
 Prayer
- Class, please stand. Let us pray. (Interfaith Prayer)
 Greetings
- Good morning everyone! Please be seated.
 Checking of Attendance
 - Is anyone absent today?
 Review
Directions: Fill in the blanks with the correct term/s to complete the statements.

____________1. It is the measurement of the energy released during an earthquake.

____________2. It is a weak point in the tectonic plate where pressure within the crust is released.
____________3. It is the measurement of the destruction or the damage caused by an earthquake.

B. Motivation
Directions: Compare earthquake’s intensity from the magnitude by completing the Venn diagram. Use the terms given inside
the box below.
C. Presentation of the Lesson

Faults are classified into active and inactive.

 Active faults are areas along which all shallow earthquakes occur. These zones are believed to have exhibited evidence of
strong and frequent earthquakes in the past thousands of years, and they are likely to exhibit movements sometime in the
future. Active faults tend to be most common at the boundaries of tectonic plates where different plates bump into or
move away from each other.

 Inactive faults are areas which had not displayed any seismic activity for more than thousands of years. However, due to
the intricacy of earthquake activity, these faults may trigger bigger quakes which were already proven by geologists.
Consider what happened to the fault in Sierra Nevada, which was believed to have been inactive for over three million
years. It turned out that the said fault was actually capable of producing earthquakes of strong magnitude.

D. Generalization

Active faults are areas along in which displacement is expected to occur. Since a shallow earthquake produces displacement
across a fault, all shallow earthquakes occur on active faults. These are considered to be geologic hazards. Inactive faults are
areas that can be identified, but which do not have earthquakes.

E. Valuing/Application
Directions: Differentiate active from inactive fault by filling in the table below with the data required.
IV. Evaluation
Directions: Write the correct descriptions of active and inactive faults in the fish diagram. Choose your answers from the box below.

V. Assignment
Directions: Find the evacuation area by completing the earthquake maze below. Use your pencil to trace the correct path, then
answer the question that follows in paragraph using the given rubric.
