    This document contains an activity sheet from Corazon Aquino High School in the Philippines for a lesson on earthquakes and faults. The activity sheet includes 3 activities to help students 1) differentiate between an earthquake's epicenter and focus, intensity and magnitude, and active and inactive faults, 2) identify earthquake wave types and their properties, and 3) explain how earthquake waves provide information about the interior of the Earth. The activities include labeling diagrams, matching terms to descriptions, and filling in blanks. The document was prepared by 4 science teachers and approved by the school principal.

    4. Secondary waves cannot travel through ___________________ and gases.
    5. The ___________________ wave is the most destructive wave.
    Activity 2. Let’s Talk About Waves
    A. Directions: Read the paragraph and complete the table below. Write your
    answers on a separate sheet of paper.

    Seismic waves are also known as earthquake waves. There are two main types of
    earthquake waves: body waves and surface waves. The body waves have two types: primary waves
    (P waves) and secondary waves (S waves). Primary waves travel the fastest of all the waves. They
    are also unique in the aspect that they travel through
    Earthquake all states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas. P
    Wave
    waves are considered push-pull waves. They push and pull the rock as it moves through just like
    sound waves that push and pull the air. Secondary waves are not as fast as P waves. They cannot
    travel through liquids and gases. S waves travel in a side to side motions, like a piece of rope that
    you wiggle.
    Surface waves such as Love waves (L waves) are the slowest waves. They move along the
    Earth’s surface similar to the way the waves travel in the oceans, up and down. They are the most
    destructive waves because of the damages they create directly to the Earth’s surface.
    Comparison of Different Types of Seismic Waves

    Earthquake Waves Also known as Speed Motion

    A. Body waves
    primary wave 1. 4. 6. push-pull
    secondary wave 2. 5. solids 8.
    B. Surface waves
    Love wave 3. slowest 7. 9.

    B. Directions: Write T if the statement is true and F if it is false.


    _________1. The primary wave is the slowest wave among the seismic waves.
    _________2. The secondary wave can travel through all states of matter.
    _________3. The most destructive wave is the surface wave.
    _________4. The primary wave is the first wave that can be detected.
    _________5. The two types of surface waves are the primary waves and Love waves.
