Key insights

• ⚡ The module focuses on seismic waves and locating earthquake epicenters using the triangulation method.
• 🗻 Competency targets include describing and relating the distribution of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and major mountain belts to plate tectonic theory.
• 🌊 Introduction of important terminologies related to earthquakes, including epicenter, focus, magnitude, seismologists, and tsunami.
• 🇵🇭 The recent earthquake in the Philippines occurred in Balayan City, Batangas, with an estimated magnitude of 5.4.
• 📈 Seismic waves are the energy released from an earthquake and are recorded by seismographs.
• 🌍 Seismic waves have two main types: body waves (P waves and S waves) and surface waves (Love waves and Rayleigh waves).
• 🌐 Primary (P) waves are faster and can travel through solid rock and fluids, while secondary (S) waves are slower and can only move through solids.
• 💥 Love waves are the most damaging type of surface wave, named after Augustus Edward H. Love, while Rayleigh waves cause most shaking during an earthquake, named after Lord Rayleigh.

Q&A

• What are Love waves and Rayleigh waves?

  Love waves and Rayleigh waves are two subtypes of surface waves. Love waves, named after Augustus Edward H. Love, are the most damaging type of surface wave. Rayleigh waves, named after Lord Rayleigh, cause most of the shaking felt during an earthquake.

• Can you explain the characteristics of primary (P) waves, secondary (S) waves, and surface waves?

  Primary (P) waves are longitudinal and can travel through both solid rock and fluids. Secondary (S) waves are transverse, slower, and can only move through solids. Surface waves, which do not travel inside the earth, propagate only on the earth's surface.

• What are the main types of seismic waves and their characteristics?

  Seismic waves have two main types: body waves and surface waves. Body waves, which include P waves and S waves, travel into the earth's interior, with P waves being faster and longitudinal. Surface waves, including Love waves and Rayleigh waves, travel through the crust and propagate only on the earth's surface.

• What are the specific details about the recent earthquake in the Philippines discussed in the video?

  The video discusses that the recent earthquake in the Philippines had its epicenter in Balayan City, Batangas, and the focus was directly below it. The magnitude of the earthquake is estimated to be around 5.4, considered moderate. It also explains seismic waves as the energy released from an earthquake and recorded by seismographs.

• What important terminologies related to earthquakes are introduced in the article?

  The article introduces important terminologies related to earthquakes, such as epicenter, focus, magnitude, seismologists, and tsunami. It explains that the epicenter is the location on the surface of the earth directly above the focus of the earthquake.

• What are the specific objectives of the grade 10 science module for week 2?

  The specific objectives of the grade 10 science module for week 2 include recalling characteristics of seismic waves, explaining the triangulation method for locating earthquake epicenters, and plotting distributions of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and major mountain belts in a world map to relate them to plate tectonic theory.

• What is the main focus of this week's grade 10 science module?

  The main focus of this week's grade 10 science module is earthquakes, with an emphasis on seismic waves and the use of the triangulation method to locate earthquake epicenters.
