What are the three types plates boundaries?
B. Establishing a Purpose Priming Activity: Arrange Me!
for the Lesson Direction: Arrange the jumbled letters using the description below.

UEAQRKHATE

Clue: A sudden trembling or shaking or the ground.

CUFSO

Clue: Origin of the earthquake within the Earth.

 CTNEEPIRE
Clue: Is the point on the Earth surface vertically above the focus.

CTECINTO UEAQRKHATE

Clue: Occurs when large masses of rocks move because of cracks or fault on
the earth’s crust.

NACILVOC UEAQRKHATE

Clue: Occurs when movement of the plates on the Earth’s crust is caused by
volcanic activity.

EDUTINGAM

Clue: It is the energy released by an earthquake.

YTISNETNI

Clue: It is a measure of how much damage earthquakes cause on the surface.

C. Presenting
examples/Instances of
the New Lesson

Processing Questions:

1. What do you think is happening in the picture presented?

Based on the pictures and activities we've done, what do you think is our
lesson for today?
D. Discussing New Concept Our lesson for today, is all about earthquake.
and Practicing New
Skills #1  What is earthquake?
 What is focus?
 How about the epicenter?

There are two types of earthquakes

1. Tectonic Earthquake occurs when large mass of rocks moves because of

a crack or a fault on the earth’s crust.

There are 3 kinds of Tectonic Earthquake.

1. Divergent
2. Convergent
3. Transform
 2. Volcanic earthquake occurs when movement of the plates on the Earth’s
crust is caused by volcanic activity.
E. Discussing New Concept Learn More! (abstractions)
and Practicing New
Skills #2 Today, we also discuss the Measuring an Earthquake.

But before that, what is the instrument that they use to measure the
magnitude of an earthquake?
 Seismograph

What is magnitude?
 Magnitude is the energy released by an earthquake.
 Magnitude is measured using a Richter Scale.

Who was the American seismologist who developed The Richter Scale of
Magnitude?
 Charles F. Richer

Magnitude Scale

Magnitude Description
Scale
Not felt on the surface, only detectable when an ultra-
1 sensitive seismometer is operated under favorable
conditions.
2 Hardly perceptible shocks and may be felt only slightly near
the epicenter.
3 Very feeble shocks and only felt near the epicenter, but
causing little or no damage.
4 Feeble shocks, but causing little or no damage.
5 Moderate quake, felt over wide areas, can cause local
damages near epicenter.
6 Strong earthquake clearly felt over a wide area near the
epicenter. Damage to poorly constructed buildings within
10km.
7 Major earthquake and can cause serious damage and
possible loss of life near the epicenter; can generate
tsunamis when they occur under the sea.
8 Great earthquake, which can cause destruction, loss of life
over several 100 km from the epicenter. When they occur
under the sea.
9 Rare great earthquake, major damage and loss of life over
the large region even more than 1000km from the epicenter.

What is intensity
 Intensity is a measure of how much damage earthquake cause on the
surface.
Who was the Italian scientist who invented the Modified Mercalli Scale?
 Giuseppe Mercalli

Modified Mercalli Scale

Number Name Description
I Instrumental Detected by seismograph, usually not felt.
II Feeble Noticed only by people at rest
III Slight Shaking felt indoors but not in outdoors;
hanging objects swing back and forth
IV Moderate Generally perceptible by people in motion.
Hanging objects swing
V Rather Almost everyone feels movement. Sleeping
Strong people are awakened. Doors swing open or
closed; dishes are broken. Cracked walls;
trees disturbed.
VI Strong Felt by all. Slight damage occurs. Stronger
shaking can cause people to fall over and
walls and ceilings to crack. People walk
unsteadily; windows break.
VII Very Strong Everyone runs outdoors. Poorly built
buildings suffer severe damage. Difficult to
stand; plaster, bricks, and tiles fall; large
bells ring. Drivers feel their car shaking.
People fall over.
VIII Destructive Tall buildings sway. Minor damage to
specially designed buildings. Chimneys
and walls collapse. Drivers have trouble
steering. Houses that are not bolted down
might shift on their foundations. Tree
branches break.
IX Ruinous Ground cracks. Well-constructed
buildings damaged. Pipes broken. All
buildings suffer major damage. General
panic; damage to foundations; sand and
mud bubble from ground.
X Disastrous Landslides occur, ground cracks widely.
Major damage. Most buildings and their
foundations are destroyed. Some bridges
are destroyed.
XI Very Bridges and buildings destroyed; large
Disastrous fissures open. Almost all structures fall.
Very wide cracks on the ground. Railways
tracks bend; road break up.
XII Catastrophic Total destruction. Grounds surface waves
seen. River courses altered.
F. Developing Mastery Direction: Say “FACT” if the statement is correct and “BLUFF” if it is
incorrect.

1. Tectonic Earthquake occurs when movement of the plates on the Earth’s

crust is caused by volcanic activity. (BLUFF)

2. Detergent, convergent, and transform are the three kinds of tectonic

earthquakes. (FACT)

3. Earthquake is a sudden trembling or shaking of the ground. (FACT)

4. Focus is the origin on the earthquake within the Earth. (BLUFF)

5. Convergent is when two or more plate collides. (FACT)

G. Finding Practical Let’s Connect!
Application of Concepts
and Skills 1. Why do we need to study the earthquake?
2. What are the things we need to do if there is an earthquake?
H. Making Generalizations Sum it Up!
