and proceed to your respective group and area.
C. PRESENTATION
What is an earthquake?
- An earthquake (also known as quake, tremor or tremblor) is the perceptible shaking of the surface of
the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic waves.
(US Geological Science-USGS)
What are the potential Earthquake Hazards?
- Geologists explain that an earthquake is a type of hazard that depends on the strength of seismic
activity, along with such factors as local topographic and built features, subsurface geology and
groundwater. A large earthquake will always be followed by a sequence of aftershocks that normally
aggravates its effect on human and material elements like buildings and infrastructure. The following
are the different hazards that normally result from the occurrence of an earthquake.
a. Ground Shaking or Ground Motion – the Earth shakes with the passage of earthquake waves, which
radiates energy that had been “stored” in stressed rocks, and were released when a fault broke and the
rocks slipped to relieve the pent-up stress.
b. Ground or Surface Rupture – surface rupture is an offset of the ground surface when fault rupture
extends to the Earth’s surface. Any structure that is built across the fault is at risk of being torn apart as
the two sides of the fault slip past each other. Normal –and-reverse- (collectively called dip-slip) faulting
surface ruptures features vertical offsets while strike-slip faulting produces lateral offsets.
c. Liquefaction – soil liquefaction is a phenomenon in which the strength and stiffness of a soil is reduced
by earthquake shaking or other rapid loading. It normally occurs on saturated soils, that is, soils in which
the space between individual particles is completely filled with water.
d. Earthquake-induced ground subsidence and lateral spreading – subsidence, or lowering of the
ground surface, often occurs during earthquakes. This may be due to downward vertical displacement on
one side of a fault, and can sometimes affect a huge area of land. Lateral spreading occurs where sloping
ground starts to move downhill, causing cracks to open up, that are often seen along hill crests and river
banks.
e. Tsunami – also known as seismic sea wave is a series of waves in a water body caused by the
displacement of of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake. Earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations of nuclear devices), landslides, glacier
cravings and other disturbances above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami.
f. Earthquake-induced Landsides – landslides are frequently triggered by strong ground motions. They are
important secondary earthquake hazard. The term landslide includes a wide range of ground movement,
such as rock falls, deep failure of slopes, and shallow debris flows. Strong earthquake-induced ground
shaking greatly increases the likelihood of landslides where the landscape is susceptible to these types of
ground failure.
D. ENHANCEMENT ACTIVITY
a. Identify the following pictures and name them according to the six potential earthquake hazards.
A B
C D
E F
b. Make a diagram of your emergency evacuation plan for your family. Identify the necessary thing for you to
include in your survival kit. Make a graphic organizer of your kit. (Example below)
E. GENERALIZATION
1. Group 1 – Make a one or two stanzas of a song that depicts your earthquake preparedness.
2. Group 2 – Make a poem about an earthquake and relate it to your everyday life.
3. Group 3 – Make a sketch/draw an actual scenario of an earthquake in a school setting.
4. Group 4 – Make an earthquake dance cover in the tune of Tala.
F. APPLICATION/INTEGRATION
An earthquake can strike anytime and anywhere. Its intensity can only be determined after it strikes. No matter
how and what science can do it still cannot predict as to when the earthquake will strike. Philippine history will
teach us a very valuable lesson that we should not neglect. Sometime in the 1990s, the powerful, magnificent,
luxurious, and thought to be out of this world construction of Hyatt Hotel in Baguio City was no excuse to such
an unpredictable strike of an earthquake. The death toll of that incident was too great to even speak of. On August
of 1976, a great tidal wave believed to be the after and immediate effect of an underwater earthquake took the
lives of some four thousand (4,000) people in Pagadian City and the nearby shorelines. The recent strike being in
Cotabato and Davao respectively that caused havoc and damage to the people on a peaceful Monday morning
sometime in Novemeber 2019. Earthquake strike is no laughing matter. The knowledge we have today that
Science has provided us can only make us prepare for such a disaster and to protect our lives and property when
this disaster strikes. The best thing we can do is to put God as our priority in our lives. If we do such, our safety
and salvation is already secured. Be it here on earth or in heaven above. No other option left for us, except this.
