    The document provides instructions for an activity where students will use travel time data from hypothetical earthquake recordings at three stations to determine the epicenter of an earthquake using triangulation. Students are asked to interpret seismograms to calculate distances from each station to the epicenter, draw circles with those radii on a map, and find where the circles intersect to identify the location. The goal of the activity is to teach students how geologists use triangulation of data from multiple seismograph stations to locate an earthquake's epicenter.

    Name : _George Reginald C. Fernando Year & Section: _10- Rizal______________________

    TOPIC: Plate Tectonics


    LEARNING COMPETENCY: The learners should be able to describe the distribution of active volcanoes,
    earthquake epicentre, and major mountain belts.

    Activity No. 1
    Locating Earthquakes Epicenter
    I. OBJECTIVE:

    1. Identify the location of an earthquake epicenter using the travel time graph and triangulation
    method.

    II. LESSON OVERVIEW

    On July 16, 1990 at around 4:26 p.m. a major earthquake struck the island of Luzon in the Philippines
    with the estimated magnitude of 7.7 and caused damage and lost of lives in the area. Among the areas
    hardest hit by the 1990 Luzon earthquake was the summer destination of Baguio. All types of building
    including hotels, resorts, and government and university buildings suffered from tremendous damage.
    Collapsing of the buildings were the main cause of damage and death of people. Tremendous damage
    from the earthquake was widespread all over the island of Luzon and the actual earthquake’s epicenter
    was reported immediately. The epicenter of this earthquake was detected at the province of Nueva
    Ecija. How could geologist identify the main epicenter of the earthquake? Let’s find it out here using
    the triangular method. This method is used by geologist to detect the earthquake epicenter. They
    collected records of seismograms from three distinct stations to identify the location of the epicenter.

    A.MATERIALS:

    Hypothetical records of three statation of seismograms and travel-time curves


    Philippine map Safety drawing compass
    Ruler
    Grade 10 Science Learning Module

    III. PROCEDURE:

    1. Study the three seismograms and travel-time curves from each of the stations that are shown
    below. Interpret the seismograms to find the distance from each station to the epicenter.

    Distance from the epicenter: 189 km_______________


    Distance from the epicenter: _______________
    Distance from the epicenter: 195 km
    2. Using the known distance to the epicenter from three different locations, draw circles around
    each of the recording provinces
    Distance withepicenter:
    from the a drawing 230
    compass
    km (Note: Use the scale 1.5 cm: 100 km).
    3. Each circle should have a radius equal to the epicenter distance that you calculated.
    4. The place where the three circles intersect is the epicenter location.

    IV. ANALYSIS:

    Q1. Where is the epicenter of the hypothetical earthquake?

    The epicenter of the earthquake is in ilo-ilo

    Q2. What difficulty will you encounter if you only have data from two seismograms?

    The difficulty will be hard because I need to find the data and the distance

    Q3. Refer to the third graph that shows travel-time curves in the province of Batangas. The travel-
    time curves shows that the P-S wave interval is about 5 minutes. What is the distance of the epicenter
    from the seismogram?

    The distance is 295 km

    Q4. What do you think is the importance of determining the epicenter of an earthquake?

    The siesmogram

    V. GENERALIZATION:

    Create a triangle and divide it horizontally into three sections. At the bottom section, write three (3)
    things you have learned for the day. At the middle section, write two questions you have in mind that
    need an answer. At the top section, write information learned which are applicable to your daily lives.

    earthquake

    1. What should I do
    during an earthquake

    2. how can we survive

    1.How to determain the epicenter of the earthquake


    2.How to get the distance of the earthquake
    3.Determining the epicenter of the earthquake using a

    Choose one from the choices

    a. Earthquake drill if you are indoors


    b. Earthquake drill if you are outdoors
    c. Prepare an emergency kit at home.
