QUARTER 4 WEEK 1
The crust of the Earth is always moving. The
sudden movement of the Earth's crust can
cause masses of rocks to change its position
and release a big amount of energy that can
cause earthquakes. Earthquakes can bring
changes to the surface of the Earth.

What is an earthquake?
An earthquake is the vibration or
shaking of the Earth's crust caused by
the sudden movement of plates that
release a large amount of energy.
How does an earthquake occur?
An earthquake occurs when rock masses move and change in
position. As the rock masses change position, the energy stored in the
rock masses is released and transmitted onto the surface in the form
of seismic waves. The Earth's crust is broken into separate pieces
called tectonic plates. These plates move relative to each other and
interact along their boundaries in different plate movements.
Earthquakes usually occur along these
boundaries.
What are the types of earthquakes?
If an earthquake is due to sudden movement of the rocks, or when
two tectonic plates collide against each other, it is called a tectonic
earthquake.
If it is due to the movement of magma within the volcanoes, it is
called a volcanic earthquake. Sometimes earthquakes also occur
because of human activity. Big explosions and the wrong treatment
of the ground may trigger man-made earthquakes.
Where do earthquakes usually occur?
Earthquakes generally occur along faults. Faults are cracks in the Earth's crust
between two big plates. When two plates slip past against each other, it
releases a big amount of energy that causes the ground to shake. Usually, a
ground rupture will be created.
The point of origin of an earthquake beneath the surface of the
Earth is called focus. The earthquake waves travel from the
focus going outward. The epicenter is the point above the
focus on the surface of the Earth. It is at this point where
earthquake energy is felt the strongest.
What agency of the government monitors earthquakes?
In our country, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology" and
Seismology (PHIVOLCS) is the agency of the government
that monitors earthquakes. Below is the official logo of the
agency.
The principal mandate of PHIVOLCS is to
mitigate disasters that may arise from
volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunami
and other related geo-tectonic
phenomena.
How do we measure the strength of an earthquake?
The strength and damage caused by an earthquake is measured
by magnitude or intensity. Magnitude is recorded by a
seismograph in PHIVOLCS station and interpreted using the
PHIVOLCS scale. Magnitude is associated with the energy
released by an earthquake which is a way to tell its strength.
Intensity measures the extent of damage caused by an earthquake
on the surface of the ground. It is identified through ocular
inspection of the area or the
epicenter.
Prepare three columns on a separate sheet
of paper. Write the items on the first
column. Identify the type of earthquake as
shown in the pictures and write them on the
second column. Finally, describe each type
on the third column.

Earthquake has many effects on the Earth's surface. Surface
effects include ground shaking, tsunami, landslide, ground
rupture, and change in the flow of groundwater. It can bring
significant damage to buildings, bridges, roads, and other
infrastructures. It can also indirectly cause fire on people's
homes.
Read the following descriptions of some of the effects of earthquakes on
the earth's surface.
A tsunami is a series of huge waves,
which is an effect of underwater sea
earthquakes or undersea volcanic
eruptions. The waves become bigger
and taller when it reaches shallow
water near the land. When it sweeps
inland, it causes damage to
properties and loss of lives.
A landslide may happen when an
earthquake affects or occurs on
hilly or steep slopes. It is the
movement of a mass of rock or
earth down a slope due to ground
shaking.
Ground shaking is an effect of
earthquake that loosens rocks and soil
which causes landslide and bury the
area below the mountain. It can cause
damage to properties and loss of lives.
A ground rupture occurs during an
earthquake. It is caused by the push
and pull of rocks underground
causing the surface to tear apart that
form gaps or cracks on the ground.
Ground rupture can damage
buildings, bridges, houses, roads,
and other structures.

Did you know!
Topping the list of most active volcanoes on the planet is Kīlauea on the Hawaiian
Islands. Kīlauea is a shield volcano, meaning it has a broad, shield-like shape. It has been
erupting continuously since 1983. The volcano is part of the Hawaii Volcanoes National
Park and plays a significant role in Hawaiian cultural folklore.

In fact, Kīlauea eruptions have led to the creation of new land as its lava flows into the
ocean.
What is a volcano?
A volcano is an opening in the Earth’s crust where lava,
pyroclastic materials, and gases are ejected onto the
surface during eruptions. Volcanic eruption changes the
landscape in a violent manner.
The Earth Speaks Out!
Due to heat, pressure builds up deep inside the Earth. This causes
magma to rise and escape through volcanic craters. This is how
volcanic eruption occurs.
Take a look at the illustrations below and do as instructed.
Based on the description of the given volcanic eruption below each
illustration, sequence the events by writing numbers 1- 4 in the box
above it. Alternatively, write your answers on a separate paper.
The eruption of a volcano is a process. A volcanic eruption is a way
for magma from inside the Earth to escape.

Deep within the Earth the temperature is high that

causes the rocks to melt and form magma. There are
several factors that can trigger a volcanic eruption.
The triggers could be the rising of a less dense
magma, the pressure associated with gases in magma
and the injection of magma in an already filled magma
chamber.
The main parts of a volcano are the magma chamber, conduits, vents and craters. The hollow
spot within the volcano is the magma chamber where gases and magma accumulates. Magma
is less dense compared to rocks making them rise towards the surface of the Earth. Pressure
builds up deep inside the Earth that causes magma to rise and escape through the openings
called volcanic vent. Gases in the magma chamber, such as water vapor and carbon dioxide,

expands as temperature rises contributing to higher pressure. In some cases, new magma gets
injected to an already filled magma chamber causing pressure to build up and contribute to
eruption. During the eruption, magma shoots up out of the volcano and flows down the side of
the mountain as hot flowing lava. Magma that reached the surface becomes lava. The volcano
also releases ashes and gases.
Volcanic activities are written inside the box below.
Using the ladder organizer, sequence the events
about how volcanoes erupt. On the first step of the
ladder, write what happened first and so on by
writing the letters of the activities. Write your
answers on a separate paper.
What can I do during a volcanic eruption? Shade the circle before the things
that you must do to keep you safe during a volcanic eruption.

Presentation of homework.
Below is a write-up about the eruption of a volcano and its effects on the
environment. Read and study the write-up to answer the activity that follows.
Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.
The effects of volcanic eruptions are listed in column A of the table below and the description of
each effect is listed in column B. Match the effects with its description by choosing the letter of
the correct answer. Write your answers in on a separate paper.
Volcanic landslides, emission of gas, mudflow, lava flow, clouds of
hot volcanic ash, ash deposits, and formation of new landforms are
some of the effects of a volcanic
eruption. Many places, even miles away, could be affected by a
single volcanic eruption. The following describes some of these
major effects of volcanic eruptions.
Hot flowing lava from an erupting volcano can reach surrounding communities. Lava that
leaves the vent of a volcano can reach around 1,200 degrees Celsius immediately after being
released. The temperature of the flowing lava drops significantly as it is exposed to the air but
is still able to maintain a significantly high temperature sufficient to burn almost everything on
its path, including people and infrastructures like roads and bridges.
Volcanic eruptions are associated with vibrations of the ground called tremors.
These tremors disturb the balance in the soil that results to Volcanic landslides,
which are large heaps of wet or dry rock and soil that slide, or flow speedily down
the slope of a volcano due to gravitational force during a volcanic activity.
Volcanic landslides may contribute to mudflow that can travel as much as 200-
kilometers downstream.
Volcanic eruptions contribute to burning where ash is a common by product. Violent
volcanic eruptions contribute to a significant amount of ash that can be released into the
atmosphere forming ash clouds that cover the incoming sunlight. Because of this, major
volcanic eruptions contribute to a significant reduction in local or even global temperature.
With gravitation pull, ashes eventually fall to the ground.
Ash deposits are ashes that usually deposit on roofs of houses and other buildings.
An eruption causes many roofs to collapse because of the weight of the ash
deposit made wet by heavy rains. Volcanic eruptions also provide agricultural
benefits as the soil becomes fertile after an eruption.
When ash deposits and mud mix with rainwater, they become
mudflow. Mudflows cause further destruction than the eruption itself
as it buries villages. Lahar may also result as an effect of volcanic
eruption, which is a violent type of mudflow or debris flow
composed of volcanic materials, rock debris, water, etc.
Volcanic eruptions also emit gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide,
hydrochloric acid, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide, which can cause air pollution and is
dangerous to human health.
Volcanic eruptions can change the landscape of the Earth. New landforms can be created by
volcanic eruptions. Landforms created by lava include domes, plateaus, and volcanoes.
Match the effects of a volcanic eruption in column A with its
description in column B. Write your answers on another paper.
A volcanic eruption is a natural calamity that can bring
danger to people’s lives
without warning. Victims are usually left with nothing but
