What’s New
Activity 1
Directions: Read the selection below
and take note of the facts and events.
After reading, answer the questions
that follow.
What Causes a Tsunami
One of the most common causes of a tsunami is by an
earthquake. The
entire planet is covered with pieces of rock that float on
liquid magma. These
pieces are called tectonic plates. As they move, they can
sometimes rub
together, causing the ground to shake. When two plates
move suddenly, the
water on the surface of the Earth gets displaced and can
cause a wave. The
When a strong quake occurs under the sea, a
tsunami alert is sometimes
declared, especially if it is near the shorelines.
When this happens, people are
advised to evacuate to higher grounds. Disobeying
orders to evacuate may
cause serious harm or injury to people.
1. What causes a tsunami according to the
paragraph?

2. Why does the Earth’s ground shake?

3. What is produced when water on the


surface of the earth is displaced?

4. When is a tsunami alert declared?

5. Why do people have to evacuate to higher


grounds during a tsunami?
DAY 3

What Is It
Study these sentences which you
already encountered in the previous
activities.
1. The Earth’s ground shakes because tectonic plates rub
together.

2. When the water on the surface of the earth is displaced, a


wave is created.

3. When a strong quake occurs under the sea, a tsunami alert is


declared.

4. People have to evacuate to higher grounds during a tsunami


so that they may be saved from its deadly effects.
What is cause and effect relationship?
You may have noticed that the lesson talks about cause and
effect. You’re right. You were even made to identify examples
of a cause as well as examples of an effect.
You may have noticed also that in any cause and effect
relationship, there is always one event that serves as a cause
and another event that becomes the effect
The cause is the reason why something happens,
while the effect is the result of something that
happened. Whatever the case may
be, the cause always takes place before the effect
and the effect always
happens last.
Dependent Clauses and Independent Clauses
Have you noticed how the word structure of all the
causes were written?
If you erase all the connected effects, will they stand
on their own as a
sentence? Let us look at these groups of words when the
effects are removed:
1. Because tectonic plates rub together
2. When the water on the surface of the earth
is displaced
3. When a strong quake occurs under the sea
4. So that they may be saved from its deadly
effect
These groups of words cannot be considered as
sentences since they
don’t have a complete meaning and they cannot
stand on their own. They
need the omitted parts to become complete
sentences. These group of words
are called dependent clauses.
Now, let us examine the groups of words that represent
the effect.
1. The Earth’s ground shakes.
2. A wave is created.
3. A tsunami alert is declared.
4. People have to evacuate to higher grounds during a
tsunami.
Do these groups of words have a complete meaning?
Can they stand as
a sentence on their own even without the causes added
to them? If your
answer is “Yes,” then you are right. These groups of
words that have a
complete meaning are called independent clauses.
1. The Earth’s ground shakes because tectonic plates rub together.
Independent Clause dependent Clause

2. When the water on the surface of the earth is displaced, a wave is


created.
3. When a strong quake occurs under the sea, a tsunami alert is
declared.

4. People have to evacuate to higher grounds during a tsunami so that they


may be saved from its deadly effects.
When a dependent clause and a independent clause
are combined they formed
a complex sentence.
