What’s In
On the previous lesson you learned the different parts of an earthquake and
various potential earthquake hazards. Earthquake is considered as one of
geologic hazards. It is a natural phenomenon that can occur in different
parts of the world. It is considered as one of the most disastrous phenomena
as it can kill thousands of people in a glance. In a record, the deadliest
earthquake happened last January 23, 1556 at Shensi, China where the
magnitude 8 earthquake recorded about 830,000 deaths. On December 26,
2004 at Sumatra, Indonesia, the 9.1 magnitude earthquake recorded about
227,898 deaths, and on January 12, 2010 at Haiti a 7.0 magnitude
earthquake recorded about 222,570 deaths. We are always warned by the
Department of Science and Technology- Philippines Institute of Volcanology
and Seismology (DOST-PHILVOCS) about the possible coming of “The Big
One”, the question is what are the possible effects of an earthquake once it
strikes the country? In this module you will able to identify earthquake
potential hazard and its effects and identify the different earthquake related
hazards that can affect your home and/or community.

What is It
1. Ground Shaking
Definitions: disruptive up,
down and sideways vibration
or movement of the ground
during an earthquake. (DOST-
PHIVOLCS,N.d.)
Definition: deformation on
the ground that marks the
intersection of the fault with
the earth’s surface (DOST-
PHIVOLCS,n.d.)
Ruptures occur along zones
of weakness, such as
preexisting faults or
fractures.
Effects: fissuring,
displacement of the ground
due to movement of the fault. Ground rupture caused by 6.5 magnitude earthquake Leyte

Characteristics of Ground Rupture
a. Length- It depends on the magnitude of an earthquake. Earthquake
with 6.5 magnitudes and above will result to larger rupture.
b. Width- deformation along the length of ground rupture also largely
depend on the type of faulting
3. Liquefaction
Definitions:
transformation of the
behavior of a body of
sediments or soil
form to liquid form.
(DOST-PHIVOLCS,n.d.).
It is a process caused
by water pressure
which makes soil
more compact. It
Source:https://www.phivolcs.dost.gov.ph/index.php/
decreases the ground’s ability
earthquake/earthquake-hazards
to support structures.
Effect: sinking and/or titling of structure above it; sand boil; fissuring
4. Tsunami
Definition: series of
waves caused by an
earthquake under the
sea. (DOST-PHIVOLCS,n.d.).
Wave’s height could be
greater than 5 meters.
It is also known as
tidal waves.
Effect: flooding,
Source:https://www.phivolcs.dost.gov.ph/index.php/
coastal erosion; earthquake/earthquake-hazards
drowning of people
and damage to properties

A tsunami event in the country happened last August 17, 1976, where a
magnitude 7.9 earthquake in Moro Gulf produced up to 9-meter high
tsunamis that devastated the southwest coast of Mindanao and left more
than 3,000 people dead and at least 1,000 people are missing (DOST-
PHIVOLCS,n.d.).
5. Earthquake-induced
landslide
Definition: down slope
movements of rocks
and other debris
commonly triggered by
strong shaking. It may
include soil, debris,
and/ or rocks. (DOST-
PHIVOLCS,n.d.).
It may include soil,
debris and or rocks.
Rockslide at Brgy. Conalum, Argao, Cebu last
October 2013 during 7.2 magnitude Bohol
Effect: erosion, burial Earthquake

nearby areas.
B. For those students with no internet access. Interview any adult in
your household or any one in your neighborhood who has experienced

earthquake.
C. Have a summary of your interview or research; be guided with the
following questions.
Questions
1. When did this earthquake happen? Date and Time (if possible).What
were the magnitude, intensity and epicenter location (if possible)?
2. What did you feel during the earthquake?
3. What did you do during the earthquake?
4. What did you do after the earthquake?
5. What are the effects of the earthquake based on your experience?
