Topic: Introduction to Earthquakes and Faults
Sub Topics:
1. Energy within the Earth and the Pacific Ring of Fire: Introduction to
earthquake
A. Content
2. Faults
2.1Types of Faults
2.2 Active and Inactive Faults
2.3 Fault Lines in the Philippines
B. Content The learners learn that rapid movements along normal, reverse or
Standards strike-slip faults cause earthquakes.
By the end of the Quarter, learners will appreciate the value of
using systems to analyze and explain natural phenomena and
demonstrate their understanding of the dynamics of faults and
earthquakes. They are confident in identifying and assessing the
earthquake risk for their local communities using authentic and
reliable secondary data. They use the country’s disaster
awareness and risk reduction management plans to identify and
C. Performance
explain to others what to do in the event of an earthquake.
Standards
Learners explain the cause and effects of secondary impacts that
some coastal communities may experience should a tsunami be
produced by either local or distant earthquake activity. Learners
use reliable scientific information to identify and explain how solar
energy influences the atmosphere and weather systems of the
Earth and use such information to appreciate and explain the
dominant processes that influence the climate of the Philippines.
Learning Competency: Classify geological faults according to the angle
of the fault plane and direction of slip;
Learning Objectives:
D. Learning 1. Describe the Pacific Ring of Fire;
Competencies 2. Classify the geologic faults according to the angle of the fault
plane and the direction of slip; and
3. Acknowledge the relevance of seismic activities with the location
of the country.
Learning Competency: use models or illustrations to explain how
movements along faults generate earthquakes and identify and explain
which types of faults are most likely to occur in the Philippines and
explain why

objectives.
Learning Objectives:
1. Illustrate how movement along faults generates
earthquakes;
2. Analyze a map that shows the faults and fault
lines in the Philippines; and
3. Recognize locations that are safe during
earthquakes in the Philippines.

plates beneath the earth. It can occur on land or under
the ocean.
