    Activity Magnitude and Intensity

    Uploaded by

    robelyn valenzuela
    This document outlines an earthquake activity that teaches students to differentiate between magnitude and intensity. Students are instructed to study an earthquake intensity map and complete a table to determine the intensity in different areas using the map's color codes and legend. They then answer questions about the data, such as which location was closest to the epicenter based on highest intensity, and how intensity decreases with distance from the epicenter while magnitude remains the same at the source. The goal is for students to understand that magnitude measures the energy released at the source, while intensity describes the effects on people and structures in a given location.

    Activity 1: QUICK QUAKE…


    Objectives:
    After performing this activity, you should be able to:
    1. Determine the intensity of an earthquake in a certain area using the earthquake intensity map and PHIVOLCS
    PEIS.
    2. Differentiate magnitude and intensity.
    Materials:
    Paper and pen
    Earthquake intensity map

    Procedure:
    1. Study the earthquake intensity map carefully and complete the table 1.
    2. Follow the legend below to understand the map.
    Legend: - intensity
    - epicenter
    - seismic wave
    2. To determine the intensity of an earthquake in a given place, look at the
    color codes from the map and the its corresponding color code level at
    the Phivolcs Earthquake Intensity Scale (PEIS).
    3. To determine the measured magnitude of an earthquake in a certain area,
    find the magnitude of an earthquake at the source or focus.
    3.Answer the guide questions based from the data on table 1 .
    GUIDE QUESTIONS:
    1. Which place is nearest to the epicenter? What is the measured magnitude of the
    earthquake in that place?
    _________________________________________________________________________
    ____________________________________________________________________
    _________________________________________________________________________
    2. Which place is farthest from the epicenter? What is the measured magnitude of the
    earthquake in that place?
    _________________________________________________________________________
    _____________________________________________________________________
    _________________________________________________________________________

    3. What happens to the magnitude of the earthquake as the wave move away from the
    epicenter?
    _________________________________________________________________________
    _________________________________________________________________________

    5. In which place does the lowest intensity scale was observed?


    _________________________________________________________________________
    _________________________________________________________________________
    6. Can you see an increasing or decreasing trend in the intensity data?
    Is the intensity affected by the distance from the epicenter? Explain.
    _________________________________________________________________________
    _________________________________________________________________________
    _________________________________________________________________________
    7. Based from the data above, what is the difference between magnitude and intensity of an
    earthquake?
