B. Establishing Purpose of the Lesson 2. Unlocking Content Vocabulary: Match Type Activity REVERSE FAULT ACTIVE FAULT INACTIVE FAULT Faults where the hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall. This is caused by compressional forces pushing the rock together. are those that have experienced movement and displacement in recent geologic time, and have the potential for future earthquakes. are those that have not shown signs of recent movement and are less likely to generate earthquakes. NORMAL FAULT Faults where the hanging wall (upper block) moves downward relative to the footwall (lower block). This is caused by tensional forces pulling the rock apart.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding What is a fault? A fault is a fracture or break in the Earth's crust where the rock on one side of the fracture has moved relative to the rock on the other side. Faults occur when stresses in the Earth's interior cause the rock to crack and move.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding Types of Fault Type of fault: Normal fault Fault Plane Angle: Inclined at an angle less than 45 degrees from the horizontal. Direction of Slip: Vertical motion where the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall. This type of faulting occurs in extensional tectonic settings, such as divergent plate boundaries.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding Types of Fault Type of fault: Normal fault Generation of Seismic Activity: Forms in areas undergoing extensional tectonic stress, where the Earth's crust is being pulled apart (divergent movement) forming valleys. As the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall, tensional stress builds up along the fault plane. Eventually, the accumulated stress exceeds the strength of the rocks, causing them to rupture and release energy in the form of seismic waves.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding Types of Fault Type of fault: Reverse Faults (Thrust Faults) Fault Plane Angle: Inclined at an angle greater than 45 degrees from the horizontal. Direction of Slip: Vertical motion where the hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall. Reverse faults typically form in compressional tectonic settings, such as convergent plate boundaries.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding Types of Fault Type of fault: Reverse Faults (Thrust Faults) Generation of Seismic Activity: Reverse faults form in areas undergoing compressional tectonic stress, where the Earth's crust is being pushed together. As the hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall, compressional stress builds up along the fault plane. When the accumulated stress exceeds the strength of the rocks, they break along the fault, releasing stored energy as seismic waves.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding Types of Fault Type of fault: Strike-Slip Faults Fault Plane Angle: Nearly vertical, with minimal inclination from the horizontal. Direction of Slip : Horizontal motion where the movement is predominantly lateral along the fault plane. Strike-slip faults are common in transform plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding Types of Fault Type of fault: Strike-Slip Faults Generation of Seismic Activity : Strike-slip faults form in areas undergoing lateral tectonic stress, where the Earth's crust is moving horizontally past each other. Stress builds up along the fault plane due to the friction between the moving plates. When the frictional resistance is overcome, the rocks on either side of the fault suddenly slip past each other, releasing energy in the form of seismic waves.
Fault Movement and Earthquakes 1 Build-Up of Stress Movement along faults creates stress and pressure in the Earth's crust. 2 Release of Energy When the stress becomes too great, the rocks break, releasing energy as seismic waves that cause earthquakes. 3 Seismic Waves These waves travel through the Earth and can cause significant ground shaking and damage. C. Developing and Deepening Understanding
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding Philippine Fault System Active Faults These faults have a history of recent movement and are considered a high risk for earthquakes. Inactive Faults These faults have not moved in a long time but may still pose a risk. Fault Zones Areas with multiple faults that are interconnected.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding Active and Inactive Fault Lines 1 The Philippine Fault Zone (PFZ) is a major active fault system that runs the length of the archipelago. 2 The West Philippine Basin Fault System is another active fault system located in the western part of the Philippines. 3 The Eastern Philippine Fault System is located in the eastern part of the Philippines and is considered inactive.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding Subduction Zones Tectonic Plate Boundaries The Philippine Plate is subducting beneath the Eurasian and Pacific Plates, creating volcanic arcs and deep earthquakes. Transform Boundaries The Philippine Plate also has transform boundaries with the Eurasian and Pacific Plates, causing strike-slip faults and shallow earthquakes. Convergence The convergence of these plates leads to the formation of the complex and active fault systems in the Philippines.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding Safer Locations During Earthquakes 1 Areas away from fault lines 2 Buildings designed with seismic resistance 3 Open spaces and evacuation routes
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding Earthquake Preparedness 1 Understand risks Know your local fault lines and the potential for earthquakes. 2 Prepare for disasters Have an emergency plan and disaster kit ready. 3 Stay informed Listen to official sources for warnings and instructions.
