WEEK 5
WE THANK YOU LORD
FOR TODAY
YESTERDAY
AND TOMORROW
CAN YOU
REMEMBER OUR
LAST LESSON?
 Objectives
● Identify various potential earthquake hazards and
ways to minimize it;
● Identify the natural signs of an impending tsunami;
and
● Analyze the effects of the different earthquake
hazards.
 Let’s exercise

Analyze the image.

1. What do you call
this instrument?

2. What do you think

is the function of
this instrument?
- Earthquake

- Zhang Heng
- China
- 132 AD
Let us have a brief
throwback of the important
concepts about
earthquakes. Identify the
parts of the given image.
FAULT LINE

EPICENTER

FOCUS

FAULT
- What is an earthquake?

- Why does an
earthquake happen?
- What is the difference between an
epicenter and the focus or hypocenter of
an earthquake?

- What is the difference between

magnitude and intensity of an
earthquake?
In the movie “One More Chance” ; Popoy played the role of an architect who
was able to fulfill his vision of building calamity and earthquake proof housing
projects.
1. What do you think is the reason why Popoy
thought of building earthquake-proof houses?

2. What are the possible hazards or dangers

that can be caused by an earthquake?

3. Based from your previous learnings, what

are the materials and structural features of an
earthquake-proof house?
EARTHQUAKE
HAZARDS
EARTHQUAKE
The sudden movement of the
Earth’s surface.
EARTHQUAKE
- caused by slippage along a
break in the lithosphere, called
a fault.
AFTERSHOCK
- an earthquake that occurs
sometime soon after a major
earthquake.
SEISMOGRAPH
- a device used to record the motion of the
ground during an earthquake.
EARTHQUAKE
HAZARD
Earthquake Hazards refer to
earthquake agents which have the
potential to cause harm to
vulnerable targets which can
either be humans, animals or even
your environment
The effects of an earthquake can be classified as primary
or secondary.
1. Primary effects are permanent features an earthquake
can bring out. Examples include fault scarps, surface
ruptures, and offsets of natural or human-constructed
objects.

2. Secondary effects happen when ground movement

results to other types of destruction. Examples include
landslides, tsunami, liquefaction and fire.
LANDSLIDE
Seismic vibration is a common
triggering mechanism for landslides.
Landslides can have particularly
devastating effects like floods, blocking
of rivers, death, and damage to land and
natural resources.
Landslides can be prevented by
reinforcing slope material,
modifying the pathway for
surface and underwater and by
putting piles and retaining walls.
TSUNAMI
A huge sea wave triggered by a
violent displacement of the ocean
floor. Underwater earthquakes,
volcanic eruptions or landslides
can cause tsunami.
LIQUEFACTION
Earthquake motion can turn
loosely packed, water-saturated
soil to liquid.
LIQUEFACTION
FIRE
Earthquakes cause fires. Even
moderate ground shaking can break
gas and electrical lines, sever fuel
lines, and overturn stoves.
Most commonly used
methods of reducing
earthquake risks
1.Effective recording and
interpretation of ground motion
2. Constructing seismic hazard maps
A hazard map is a map that highlights areas
that are affected by or are vulnerable to a
particular hazard. They are typically created
for natural hazards, such as earthquakes,
volcanoes, landslides, flooding and
tsunamis. Hazard maps help prevent
serious damage and deaths.
3. Developing resistant structures
Base on your
knowledge, what do
you think are the signs
before tsunami?
 EFFECTS OF
EARTHQUAKE
HAZARDS
1. Ground Shaking caused by
rapid vibration of the ground. It is
produced by passing of seismic
waves beneath the structure that
generate sudden slip on the fault.
2. Ground Rupture/ Ground
Displacement is deformation on
the ground that marks the
intersection of the fault with the
earth’s surface.
3. Liquefaction is a
transformation of the
behavior of a body of
sediments or soil form to
liquid form.
4. Tsunami is a series of
waves caused by an
earthquake under the
sea.
5. Earthquake-induced
landslide is down slope
movements of rocks and other
debris commonly triggered by
strong shaking. It may include
soil, debris, and/ or rocks.
6. Earthquake-Induced ground
subsidence is the sinking or settling of
the ground surface due to various
causes, such as extraction of ground
water and natural gas, mining and
earthquakes.
DO YOU
HAVE ANY
QUESTION?
IF NONE,
I HAVE.
1.What are different
earthquake hazards?

2.What are the most commonly

used methods of reducing
earthquake risks?
- What is happening in the
picture?

- Describe the conditions of the

building and infractures.

- How can we avoid this situation?

- What disaster was
experienced by the man in
the picture?

- What makes an earthquake

so dangerous?
Read the poem
below and give your
insight about the
poem.
We Filipinos Are Disaster-Resilient, Aren’t We? By Rodgem A. Barairo

To combat a disaster, is an impossibility

Never ever say,
We can prepare
We can think of ways
Because truth is
We’re hopeless, down on bended knees
Never believe
The government and Filipinos are capable
Because reality is
We can’t work hand in hand
Never believe
Our nation can be great again
Because truth is
Filipinos are not resilient
Forget the thought
That we can’t make it
Never ever say
There’s hope after a disaster
- What can you suggest to
lessen the impacts of the
earthquake in the Philippines?

- Why is it important to be ready

when an earthquake happens?
