What I Need to Know

Earth is said to be a dynamic planet with inevitable and continuous change observed
in the surface caused by the high temperature and pressure of the inner layers of the Earth.
With these changes, natural calamities occur like earthquakes that put possible risks to
human’s lives. In this module, we will be guided by the activities as we get to more about
earthquakes and its relationship to faults. In order to grasp understanding of this concept,
let’s be guided by the learning goals in this session below.

What’s In

Let’s take a quick review of what you have learned in Grade 6 Earth Science lessons.
This will surely help you get connected to the next topic.

A. Identify the parts of the lithosphere as seen in the diagram. Write your answers on a
separate sheet of paper.

What is It
Do you know that….
Although the Earth looks like a solid place from the surface, it is extremely
active just below the surface. The Earth is made of four basic layers: a solid crust, a
hot, nearly solid mantle, a liquid outer core, and a solid inner core.

freepik.com

Figure 17. Layers of the Earth

The solid crust and top, stiff layer of the mantle make up a region called the
lithosphere. The lithosphere is not a continuous piece that wraps around the whole
Earth like an eggshell. It is made up of giant puzzle pieces called tectonic plates.

1
Tectonic plates are constantly shifting as they drift around on the viscous, or slowly
flowing, mantle layer below.

This non-stop movement causes stress on Earth’s crust. When the stresses
get too large, it leads to cracks called faults. In the activity, the crack or break you
have seen on the sand or soil is the fault as you move the sheets. Moving the sheets
provides the stress or force that causes the deformation of the plates (change in
volume and shape of the Earth’s surface) and formation of faults. The formed fault
reveals its parts as shown in figure 18.

Figure 18. Parts of a Fault

A fault plane is a flat surface where slipping occurs. This may be vertical or
sloping. A hanging wall is a block located above a fault plane, which rests on the foot
wall of the fault. A foot wall, on the other hand, is a block located below a fault plane.
A fault line is the surface of a fault fracture along which the rocks have been
displaced. A fault scarp looks like a step on the Earth’s surface, which is caused by a
slip on the fault.

Moreover, the sheets of folder you move in activity A resemble the tectonic
plates. When tectonic plates move, it also causes movements at the faults. This
gives rise to the three (3) types of fault, namely, normal fault, reverse fault and strike
slip fault which are differentiated by the relative position of the fault plane.

A normal fault moves vertically and is associated with diverging plates.


Tension weakens and fractures the Earth’s crust as plates are being pulled away
causing the hanging wall to move downward relative to the footwall (figure 18 A).
This leads to the formation of valleys.

A reverse fault occurs in areas undergoing compression or pushing together


the plates, causing the hanging wall to move upward relative to the foot wall (figure
18 B). This leads to the formation of mountains.

1
A strike-slip fault occurs when two faults move past each other horizontally
along the boundaries of the plates. If the block opposite an observer looking across
the fault moves to the right, the slip style is termed right lateral; if the block moves to
the left, the motion is termed left lateral.

Figure 19. Types of Fault

Through this fault, a significant phenomenon is generated. Earthquake is the


sudden movement of Earth’s crust at a fault line. This movement is emphasized in
the activity on stick and slip and stick and shake. In stick and slip, the boxes serve as
the ground, and the boundary between them as a fault. Energy from inside the Earth
makes the ground move. You simulate this by pulling on the rubber band. There is
no movement right away because of friction. At first, the rocks are stuck together due
to friction. Once friction is overcome, the rocks suddenly slip, generating an
earthquake. Every time a fault slips, the Earth vibrates.

On the other hand, the activity on stick and shake that you just performed
simulates how rocks bend along a fault. The rulers serve as part of the ground and
are bent. The energy from inside the Earth makes the rocks bend. But again, the
rocks along the fault do not move immediately. Friction keeps them in place. When
too much bending occurs and the limit is reached, the rocks suddenly snap. The bent
rocks straighten out and vibrate. The vibrations travel in all directions and people in
different places will feel them as a quake. An earthquake is a vibration of the Earth
due to the rapid release of energy.

Faults and earthquakes are interrelated. Through the movements along faults,
earthquakes are generated. Faults, in turn are formed due to shaking of the Earth as
tremendous energy is being released.

1. An earthquake is one of the most powerful natural forces than can disrupt and destroy
many lives. It can be associated with the trials that people encounter in their daily life.
