DOMAIN
I. CURRICULUM CONTENT, STANDARDS, AND LESSON COMPETENCIES
A. Content INTRODUCTION TO EARTHQUAKES AND FAULTS
B. Content Learners learned that rapid movements along normal, reverse or strike-slip faults cause
Standards earthquakes
By the end of the Quarter, learners will appreciate the value of using systems to analyze and
explain natural phenomena and demonstrate their understanding of the dynamics of faults and
earthquakes. They are confident in identifying and assessing the earthquake risk for their local
communities using authentic and reliable secondary data. They use the country’s disaster
awareness and risk reduction management plans to identify and explain to others what to do in
C. Performance
the event of an earthquake. Learners explain the cause and effects of secondary impacts that
Standards
some coastal communities may experience should a tsunami be produced by either local or
distant earthquake activity. Learners use reliable scientific information to identify and explain
how solar energy influences the atmosphere and weather systems of the Earth and use such
information to appreciate and explain the dominant processes that influence the climate of the
Philippines.
D. Learning The learners classify geological faults according to the angle of the fault plane and direction of
Competencies slip.
At the end of the lesson, the learners should be able to:
1. Categorize the geologic faults according to the angle of the fault plane and the direction of
slip;
E. Learning
2. Illustrate the geologic faults according to the angle of the fault plane and the direction of slips;
Objectives
and;
3. Appreciate the importance of geologic faults to the angle of the fault plane and the direction of
slip in terms of disaster preparedness

A fault is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock, across
which there has been significant displacement as a result of rock-mass
movement.

Activity 5.1. Learner’s Takeaways
Ask the learners the following questions:
1. What are the 3 types of faults? Classify them according to angle and direction of
movement?
2. How are faults related to the generation of earthquakes?
3. How does understanding the fault, fault lines, and its location help you in keeping
you and your family safe?
B. Evaluating
Learning EVALUATE
(Tools for Instruction:
Assessment) A. Identify and classify the type of fault based on the given angle of the fault plane and the
direction of slip. Choose your answer from the illustration that follows.
1. The fault plane is inclined at an angle greater than 45 degrees from the horizontal, and the
hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall.
2. The fault plane is nearly vertical, and the movement is predominantly lateral along the fault
plane.
