What is our lesson for today
based from the words?
EARTHQUAKES:
ACTIVE AND INACTIVE FAULTS
OBJECTIVES
ü describe the active fault
lines in the Philippines
ü differentiate active and
inactive faults
OBJECTIVES
ü explain the causes
and effects of active
and inactive faults
What is the Pacific
Ring of Fire?
The region in the earth’s crust
where active volcanoes, plate
tectonics and faults located.
Why is it relevant to our discussion?
Volcanoes Faults
What is a Fault?
Fracture in the Earth’s
crust where earthquakes
are most likely to occur
repeatedly.
PHILIPPINE FAULT ZONE
ACTIVE and INACTIVE FAULTS
Earthquake faults are caused by the movement of Earth's lithospheric
plate. Active faults have the ability to generate earthquakes while
inactive faults can no longer produce earthquakes.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Active Faults
is a fault that has
displayed recent
seismic activity
Bases of Movement
• Historical and
contemporary seismicity.
• Fault slip
• Displacement of
Landforms

fault line in the world?
San Andreas

ü1,200 km
üMajor fault line
Hayward
Fault
üNevada, USA
ü119 km
üFault that can
trigger San
Andreas fault
