What’s More
Activity 1.1: Hurdling Language Barriers to Understand Science
1. When the soil is water-saturated, it tends to behave like a liquid. Such behavior leads to secondary earthquake effect
which is called liquefaction.
Maximum level of saturation
2. During earthquakes, LPG tanks and stoves may overturn and electrical lines may sever, and consequently may lead
to fire.
Break
3. Seismic activities must be monitored because earthquakes originate below the earth’s crust.
Frequency or moving
4. Ground subsidence happens because of the soft and liquid-like behavior of some soil.
Sinking or Collapse
5. A tsunami is caused by earthquake in oceanic floors. This leads to huge flooding in communities near the seashore.
Giant waves

5. How important is this invention for young children in school?

The invention can save students
6. Why do you think these scientists came up with these inventions?

What I Have Learned
1. Earthquake refers to the sudden movement of the ground.
2. Earthquake Hazards can cause either moving or shaking effects.
3. Primary effects are permanent features produced by the earthquake such as,
damage, casualties and cracks.
4. Earthquakes effects result when ground movement causes other types of

damage landslides, tsunami, liquefaction and fire.
