    Earth Science Quarter 2 - Week 3 Module 5 - Rock Behaviors Under Stress

    Uploaded by

    This document discusses the different types of stress that rocks experience - tension, compression, and shear - and the effects of each type of stress, including where examples of each can be found. It briefly describes how tension can cause rocks to lengthen or break apart, how compression can squeeze and fold or fracture rocks, and how shear can change the shape of rocks as they slide against each other. The document appears to be part of an Earth Science module on rock behaviors under stress for a STEM student.

    WHAT I HAVE LEARNED


    WHAT I CAN DO
    Question: Movement of tectonic plates generates enough energy that causes
    earthquakes which are released along the faults. As a STEM student, why do you think
    is it necessary to study the characteristics of fault system? If you are residing on an
    area where active fault is present, what will you do to educate your neighbors about it?

    As a STEM student, I think it is really necessary to study the characteristics


    of fault system and its features because we will gain some knowledge about
    faults and earthquake. Through this, we will know where these faults exists, how
    these faults behave and how to prepare for it.

    Only if the fault has caused an earthquake or left a visible mark on the
    earth's surface, we know that this fault is active. And this implies that there's a
    big chance that we're living on a hazardous area. In that case, we must be aware
    of the possible potential of an occurring earthquake and we should plan
    appropriately about it.

    If I am residing in an area where an active fault is present, I will encourage


    my neighbors to engage and participate in earthquake drills and other
    earthquake preparedness activities. I will also assist them in understanding the
    features of fault system and how they behave. This will give them a better
    picture in identifying where the faults are, that we are residing in area where an
    active fault is present, and how we will prepare in case an earthquake will
    happen.
