What is an earthquake ?
Earthquakes are the rumbling, shaking , or
rolling of the Earth’s surface.
How does an earthquake happen?
It happens when two blocks of the Earth suddenly slip
past one another, or break apart from each other as a
result of tension caused by the prolonged energy build
up.
Earthquakes come in many forms. It can be felt as shock

under your feet, or may be very powerful and destructive
enough to flatten an entire city. They can happen anywhere,
land or sea
Kinds of Earthquake
Tectonic Volcanic

Kinds of Earthquake
1. Tectonic Earthquake
- When two tectonic plates move suddenly

against each other, an earthquake occurs
- This kind of earthquake is known as tectonic
earthquake.
9
Kinds of Earthquake
2. Volcanic Earthquake
- occurs in areas that are associated with volcanic
activities
- As the fluid magma rises to the surface, its pressure
fractures rock masses and causes continuous tremors
that can be felt on small scale.

12
Focus
It is the break in the ground
caused by the pressure of the
moving rocks. This is the place
where the earthquake originates.
The ground around above the
focus is called the epicenter. It
is measured using a Richter
Scale.

14
Intensity
Intensity is a measure of
how much damage
earthquakes cause on
the surface. The shaking
is measured on the
Modified Mercalli
Scale.

Effects of an Earthquake
1. Destruction of Property and Loss of Lives
Ground ruptures are the

breaking and displacement
of the earth’s surface along
the trace of the fault.
18
2. Landslide and Avalanche Ground shaking
loosens rocks and
soil, which causes
the rocks and soil to
slide and bury a
town or area below
the mountain.
19
3. Fire
Fires can happen during
an earthquake when
electrical power and gas
lines break.
20
A tsunami is a huge wave produced
4. Tsunami when an earthquake occurs under the sea.
It is formed when rocks along a fault slip.
The sudden movement of the rocks

produces a shockwave through the water
above it and makes powerful waves.
21
Plate Boundaries and
Plate Movements
Plate Boundaries Collide
Plate boundaries are areas
where two plates meet. The Separate
plates move or drift slowly.
Slide past each
other 22
Tectonic plates
are composed
of the rigid
outer portion
of the Earth ,
called
lithosphere.
23
Three Types of Plate Boundaries
1. Convergent
Plate Boundaries
occurs when
tectonic plates
collide and move
toward each other.
24
2. Divergent
Plate Boundary
occurs when two
plates move apart
from each other.
25
3. Transform Plate
Boundary occurs
when two lithospheric
plates slide past each
other along transform
faults.
26
Volcanic Eruptions
A volcano is an opening in the
earth’s crust where lava,
pyroclasts, and gases are ejected
onto the surface during
eruptions . A volcanic eruption
begins when pressure on the
magma chamber forces magma
up through the conduit and out of
the volcano’s vents
27
Volcanologist
Volcanologist can tell when a
volcano is about to erupt.
The following are the

signs of an impending
eruption, bulging sides of the
volcano, earthquakes and
gaseous fumes.
28
Types of Volcanic Eruptions
1. Explosive or Violent
Eruptions
During explosive eruption, the lava ejected is torn into shreds,
forming pieces of pyroclastic materials called tephra. The
composition of magma affects the volcanic activity. When
magma contains more silica, the magma is thicker and more
viscous. In this case, the eruption is a violent one, releasing
huge amount of tephra.

2. Quiet Non-Explosive
Eruption
Basaltic magma has relatively low
silica readily from it. It is less
viscous and gases can escape readily
from it. As a result , the volcanic
eruption is mild and a gentle flow of
lava follows
