SELF-LEARNING KIT
SECOND QUARTER 1
Foreword
This Self Learning Kit (SLK) is intended for Grade 8 science students.
The objective of this SLK is to explain how movements along faults
generate earthquakes by using models and illustrations.
The activities in this SLK are made for the learners to connect
earthquakes with faults and explain how earthquakes occur.
