Activity and Assessment Sheets provided separately.
UNDERSTAND
The relationship among the location of volcanoes, earthquake epicenters and mountain
ranges.
What is an earthquake?
Earthquake is a vibration of Earth due to the rapid release of

energy. It is caused by the passage of seismic waves through
Earth’s rocks.
Seismic waves are waves produced by earthquakes. It
consists of the Primary (P-waves), Secondary (S-waves) and the
Long surface waves (L-waves). P-waves and S-waves travel into
the Earth’s interior while L-waves travel on the surface of the Earth.
Most earthquakes occur along the edge of the oceanic and
continental plates. The earth’s crust (outer layer of the planet) is
made up of several pieces called plates. The plates under the
oceans are called oceanic plates and the rest are continental
plates.
The location inside the earth where an earthquake begins is
called Focus or hypocenter of an earthquake. The point at the
Earth’s surface directly above the focus is called the epicenter of
the earthquake or Earthquake epicenter. During an earthquake,
the strongest shaking occurs in the earthquake’s epicenter.
Scientists use triangulation method to find the epicenter of
an earthquake. When the seismic data is collected from at least
three different locations, it can be used to determine the epicenter
by where it intersects. Each seismograph records the times when
the first P waves and second S waves seismic waves arrive.
What is a volcano?
A volcano is a mountain where lava (hot, liquid rock) comes from a magma chamber
under the ground. A volcano usually has a summit, a slope and a base. Most volcanoes
have a volcanic crater at the top.
A traditional way to classify or identify
volcanoes is by its pattern of eruptions.

2
Classifications of Volcanoes According to Patterns of

Eruptions:
1. Extinct – Volcanoes which have not erupted in
historical times.
2. Dormant – Volcanoes that are quiet or inactive
3. Active – Volcanoes which may erupt again at anytime.
- Volcano that has had at least one eruption
during the past 10,000 years.
When they are active, materials pour out of the crater.
This includes lava, steam, gaseous compounds of Sulphur,
ash and broken rock pieces.
Volcanoes form at Earth’s surface whereas
earthquakes originate from deeper within the crust.
Volcanoes are formed by the release of gas and magma.
Earthquakes are caused by movement along a fault.
Volcanoes lead to the formation of new rock whereas
earthquakes simply cause waves which disturb the rock.
What is a mountain range?
A Mountain Range is a group or chain of mountains

located close together. It is a series of mountains or hills ranged
in a line and connected by high ground. A mountain system or
mountain belt is a group of mountain ranges with similarity in
form, structure, and alignment that have risen for the same
cause.
Mountain ranges are usually segmented by highlands or
mountain passes and valleys. One well known range is the
Himalayas range in Asia. Mountain ranges are formed when
pieces of earth’s crust called tectonic plates crashed into each
other several million years ago.
SAQ-1: Can earthquake epicenter exists in the ocean? Why?

SAQ-2: Name an active volcano in the Philippines.
SAQ-3: Which two plates do you think crashed millions of years ago to form the
Himalayas?

12. ____________ (tamouinn gearn). They are usually segmented by highlands, mountain
passes and 13.__________ (lavely). One well known range is the 14.________________

REMEMBER
Key Points
✓ An earthquake epicenter is the point directly above the focus or hypocenter of the
earthquake.
✓ A volcano is a mountain where lava (hot, liquid rock) comes from a magma chamber
under the ground. Volcanoes can be classified according to its pattern of eruptions
which can be an extinct volcano, a dormant volcano or an active volcano.
✓ Active Volcanoes are volcanoes that has had at least one eruption during the past
10,000 years and can erupt anytime.
✓ Mountain range is a group or chain of mountains located closed together. They are
formed when pieces of earth’s crust called tectonic plates crashed into each other
several millions years ago.
