Introductory Message
Welcome to the Science 10 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Earthquake
Epicenter.
To the teachers:
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators from public
schools to assist you, teacher or facilitator, in helping the learners meet the standards set by
the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic constraints in
schooling.
As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module. You also
need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage their own
learning for optimal development and understanding. Furthermore, you are expected to
encourage and assist the learners as they do the tasks included in this module.
To the parents:
As vital partners in education, your support to your children’s learning at home is a great
factor to ensure that they will become successful in what they do. As parents, you are
expected to monitor your children’s progress while they are accomplishing the tasks in this
module while at the same time, ensuring that they learn independently.
The objectives set for this learning material will be certainly accomplished with your
steadfast guidance and support.
To the learners:
This learning resource hopes to engage you into guided and independent learning activities
at your own pace and time. This also aims to help you acquire the needed 21st century skills
while taking into consideration your needs and circumstances.
Furthermore, it is our objective that you will have fun while going through this material. Take
charge of your learning pace and in no time, you will successfully meet the targets and
objectives set in this module which are intended for your ultimate development as a learner
and as a person.
How to Learn from This Module
To achieve the objectives previously highlighted, you, the learner, are to do the following:
1. Take time in reading the lessons thoroughly;
2. Follow the directions and/or instructions in the activities and exercises carefully; and
3. Answer all the given tests and exercises diligently.
1. Use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary mark/s on any part of the module.
Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises.
2. Do not forget to answer the What I Know section before moving on to the next
activities included in the module.
3. Read the instructions carefully before doing each task.
4. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks and checking your answers.
5. Finish the task at hand before proceeding to the next.
6. Return this module to your teacher/facilitator once you are through with it.
If you encounter any difficulty in answering the tasks found in this module, do not
hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator. Always bear in mind that you are not alone.
We hope that through this material, you will experience meaningful learning and gain
deep understanding of the relevant competencies. You can do it!
As you have learned from your previous grade, earthquakes are natural
geological phenomena caused by the sudden and rapid movement of large volume
of rock. The violent shaking and destruction caused by earthquakes are the result of
the rupture and slippage along fractures of Earth’s crust called faults.
What happens when an earthquake starts? The sudden release of energy
from an earthquake sends out several different shaking movements, or seismic
waves. In some cases, an earthquake can have foreshocks. These are smaller
earthquakes that happen in the same place where the larger earthquake occurs. On
the other hand, mainshocks are always followed by aftershocks. These are smaller
earthquakes that occur afterwards in the same place as the mainshock. Depending
on the size of the mainshock, aftershocks can continue for weeks, months, or even
years after the mainshock!

What’s In
In the previous lesson, you learned about the different active volcanoes which
may cause earthquakes in various regions. You have also learned that an
earthquake is a sudden and violent shaking of the ground caused by the movements
of the earth’s crust or volcanic eruption, sometimes leading to great destruction.
This is because the Philippines is within the Pacific Ring of Fire. Hence, it is
expected to have more cases of earthquakes and these may happen anytime.

Rayleigh Wave
Rayleigh Waves move in an elliptical motion, producing both vertical and
horizontal motions. This moves the ground up and down and side to side in the same
direction that the wave is moving. It is named after Lord Rayleigh (John William
Strutt).

What Is It
Location of an Epicenter
15
The epicenter is usually the location where the waves from an earthquake are
highly intense. As a result, it is also the area where the most damage can possibly
occur. However, it is not always the case. If an earthquake is particularly large, it
may run across a large section of a plate boundary. In this case, the epicenter might
only be one of the many hotspot areas and the damage could be greater elsewhere.

What’s In
In the previous lesson, locating an earthquake’s epicenter is to be done
through the application of a triangulation method. In this case, seismologists need to
have at least three seismic sites to locate the epicenter. It is also imperative that we
must learn about its intensity, magnitude and the safety precautionary measures.
23
\ What’s New
To answer this activity, use the photo shown below. Write your answer on a
separate sheet of paper.
What Is It
Most earthquakes are caused by the sudden slip along fault lines. It slips
because of the movement of the Earth’s tectonic plates leading to ground shaking
which further results to landslides and other rock movements. Some of the primary
effects that are caused by earthquakes are tsunamis, loss of properties and lives,
while the lack of water, food, electricity and telecommunications are considered as
some of the secondary effects.
