    This document provides instructions for an activity called "Stick 'n' slip" that aims to demonstrate how faults can generate earthquakes. The activity uses two small boxes taped together to represent a fault, with a rubber band connecting the boxes to simulate stress building up along the fault. When the rubber band is pulled and released, one box will move relative to the other, showing how faults can suddenly slip and cause earthquakes when stress exceeds friction. Not all movements along the fault will produce slippage and earthquakes, representing how faults can also experience aseismic creep.

    slip
    Objectives:
    After performing this activity, you should
    be able to:
    1. explain how faults generate earthquakes;
    and
    2. explain why not all movement along faults
    produces earthquakes.
    Materials Needed:
     two small boxes (fruit juice boxes are
    ideal)
     masking tape
     rubber band
     paper clip
    Q3. What happens to the rubber band?
    -The rubber band was stretched out and then striked
    into the box when we let it go.
    Q4. Keep on pulling on the rubber band. What happens
    to the box attachd to the rubber band? Note: The tape is
    supposed to come off, so stick it on very lightly.
    -The box moved forward or in the direction where the
    rubber band was striked to.
    Q5. What happens to the house?
    -After we let go of the rubber band, the house
    moved depending on how strong the strike of
    the rubber band when we let go of it.
    Q6. What is the 'fault' in this setup?
    -The fault is the boundary between the two
    boxes.
