1. Describe what fault is and how these faults related to
earthqaukes.
2. Explain how faults generate earthquakes; and
3. Explain why not all movement along faults produces
earthquakes.
Demonstrate an understanding of the relationship
between faults and eathquakes
Participate in decision making on where to build
structures based on knowledge of the location of active
faults in the community.
Explain how movements along faults generate
earthquakes. ( S8ES-lla-14 )

H. Evaluating Learning
Recall the appearance of a fault
Demonstrate activity in LM pp. 120-122
Ask the class about Michael Jackson’s famous moonwalk.
Let the students do the monnwalk. Ask the relationship
of the movement of the shoes and the floor.
Answer the questions in LM pp. 122
1. What happened to the boxes as the rubber bands is
being pulled?
2. What happens to the house in relation to the position
of the fault?
Applying your learning on the lesson presented, explain
why not all movement along faults producedearthquakes.
The ground in the area of fault tends to remain not
moving because of frictional force between the two
opposing plates. As stronger forces (rubber bands) shakes
up the fault, the friction (tape) can no longer hold up the
plates (box) thus resulting to a slip in the plates creating
a jerk called earthquake.
Direction: Pair the given term according to your
observation. Write your answer on the number below.
