TASKS
 Unlocking of terms:
• Fault – is a break in the Earth’s crust, and along
the break which movement has occurred.
• Earthquake – vibration of Earth due to rapid
release of energy
• Plate – rigid section of the lithosphere that
moves as a unit
• Epicenter – the point on the earth's surface
vertically above the focus of an earthquake.
• Magnitude – a number that shows the power of
an earthquake

I T IS OUR
FAULT: THE
FAULT-Y SET UP
Procedure:
• Arrange the
two sheets of
cardboard,
edge to edge. It
could be
horizontally or
vertically
arranged.
• Flattened the
modeling clay
and place it at
the center of the
two cardboards.
Clay should be
along
the
boundary.
• Slowly pull the
two
cardboards
away from
each other.
Observe what
happens to
the clay.
 •Draw your observation
based on the result of your
fault-y set up in ¼
cartolina and post your
work on the board.

Look at the picture!
 FAULT - a break in the Earth’s crust,
and along the break, significant
movement has taken place.

➢When plates are moving away from

each other, it results to:
*Earthquake
*Fault

ASSIGNMENT:
• What is the difference
between a normal fault
and reverse fault?

To find out, create a 2D

model of a normal fault
and of a reverse fault.
