Procedure:
1.To prepare the model cut along the fracture zone from point a to point b with a razor
blade.
2. Fold the paper on either side of the fracture zone as indicated. Make 90º downward
folds at the four locations marked Fold down, and 180º upward folds at the two locations
marked Pinch together.
3.The resulting model will now be about one-half as long as the original, and will have two
folds of paper (the soon to be created sea floor) projecting down from the
surface. Students must work in pairs to operate the model. One holds the ridge
segments together by gently pinching each of the downward folds just below the
surface. The other holds the paper at either end (adjacent to points a and b) and slowly
pulls the new sea floor out of the ridge crests.

BOXING DAY TSUNAMI: THE FACTS ABOUT THE 2004 INDIAN OCEAN
DISASTER
It has been 10 years since the Indian Ocean tsunami and earthquake
devastated parts of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India and Thailand.
The disaster was the world's deadliest tsunami, with over 230,000 people
killed and half a million injured by the waves that battered the low-lying coast. The
exact death toll is unknown. It was 7:58 a.m., December 26, 2004 when the
tremendous quake struck beneath the Indian Ocean 160 miles west of Sumatra.
Not only did it register at approximately a 9.3 magnitude (only the 1960 Chile
earthquake measured higher at 9.5, though there may have been stronger tremors
prior to the invention of seismographic equipment) and last nearly 10 minutes, the
quake moved a full 750 miles of underwater fault line earth up to 40 feet. The
movement of the earth–there is evidence that huge boulders weighing thousands
of tons were pushed several miles along the ocean floor–caused a massive
displacement of water. It is estimated that the resulting tsunami had an energy of
23,000 Hiroshima-type atomic bombs used during World War II.

In 1906 San Francisco was the ninth largest U.S. city with a population of
400,000, and over 225,000 were left homeless by the disaster. The death toll is
uncertain. City officials estimated the casualties at 700 but more modern
calculations say about 3,000 lost their lives. The lowballing city figures may have
been a public relations ploy to downplay the disaster with an eye on rebuilding the
city. On April 20, the U.S.S. Chicago rescued 20,000 victims, one of the largest
sea evacuations in history, rivalling Dunkirk in World War II. Martial law was not
declared, but some 500 looters were shot by police and the military.
The epicenter of this earthquake has moved around in the past 100 years, as
advances in seismology have been made. It was first thought to have been in Marin
County, then northwest of the Golden Gate, and most recently, in the Pacific
Ocean about two miles west of San Francisco. The plate-tectonics theory that
would shed some light on the quake wasn't formulated until the 1920s and not
embraced until some three decades later. The San Andreas fault is on the
boundary between the Pacific plate and the North American plate. During the
earthquake, the ground west of the fault tended to move northward and, in the
most extreme instance, a 21-foot shift was measured. Earthquake ruptures are
fast movers—seismologists estimated the average speed of this rupture to have
been 8,300 mi/hr going north, and 6,300 mi/hr traveling south. The quake was felt
from southern Oregon to south of Los Angeles and inland as far as central Nevada.

earthquake-savvy country, because few scientists had predicted the country would
experience such a large earthquake and tsunami.
The tsunami caused a cooling system failure at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear
Power Plant, which resulted in a level-7 nuclear meltdown and release of
radioactive materials. The electrical power and backup generators were
overwhelmed by the tsunami, and the plant lost its cooling capabilities. In July
2013, TEPCO, the Tokyo Electric Power Company, admitted that about 300 tons
of radioactive water continues to leak from the plant every day into the Pacific
Ocean.

Landslides, rock falls, and other types of mass movements may occur in
mountainous or hilly areas. Liquefaction, manifested by sand boils or lateral
spread may affect low-lying, water-logged, sandy areas at the banks of rivers.
Tsunami is not expected from the kind of movement of the Philippine Fault -
Surigao segment. The tsunami threat for Surigao del Norte would come from the
movement of the Philippine Trench, located east of the province.

What is the role of PHIVOLCS?
PHIVOLCS operates and maintains a network of 92 seismic stations spread
across the Philippines. Data from the seismic stations are used to determine the
location, magnitude and other characteristics of the earthquakes generated.

After 15 minutes, each group will assign one representative to explain the event assigned to
them. All visual aids will be posted on the board. Give each presenter 5-6 minutes to discuss
their work.
One article will be given to each group. Give the students 15 minutes to analyze the reading
material and make a visual representation of the described event. In a white cartolina, show how
the tectonic plates move using symbols like arrows, name the tectonic plates then identify the
type of plate boundary involved. Make sure that the illustration is readable and properly labelled.
Read the rubric for the activity so that the students will know how they will be graded.
