The Problem and its Background

This chapter introduce the research problem and significance to the field of the study.

Introduction:

As earthquake questioning is very important nowadays, new technologies are being developed all over

the world. They can provide better protection and give more accurate prediction of the seismic disasters.

By the help of earthquake detector this may alarm you if there is a cause of aftershocks. But earthquake

detector can be a useful home safety device because it alerts you to a quake some seconds before it

happens. This alarm can wake you up and alert you the moment the quake starts so that you can

immediately take cover or tend to other family members. The Earthquake Alarm can lessen the confusion,

save valuable seconds and provide peace of mind. Although the alarm will not give its users a huge amount

of warning, it may give them enough time to leave their properties or hide under a substantial table. This

might save lives. According to Dutta, P. K. (2017) proposed the study that involves design and

development for the earthquake alarm detection circuit based on electronic devices only which will be

highly helpful for the determination of high frequency vibrations which will trigger an impulse when the

S wave is detected by the earthquake sensor which in this case is a shaft with load that represents a steel

or building structure that shakes vibrations when the corresponding surface wave reaches the

ground.

In his study he proposed that the invention he made is detecting a high frequency which it can

determine how is level of the frequency, whether it is S-wave or a P-waves. But in our study this focused

only on giving alerts for everyone.

Statement of the Problem:

The purpose of this study is to develop a source material in calamity which can be used by Local

Government in teaching on how to detect an Earthquake in Seismology class. The purpose of this study is

to answer the following questions:

 What will be the contents of the source material?

 What content/s is/are most applicable and doable for practical use of the teachers?

 How to use a project based approach in the construction and design of the proposed source

material?

Conceptual Framework:

This is a diagrammatic presentation of the study used to visually summarize the whole study. It is

the result of a clearer understanding of the conceptual framework, as the recommended the

researchers use the IPO (input-process-output) model.

Objectives:

1. To rapidly detect the initiation of an earthquake,

2. Explain how this invention works

3. Describe the characteristics of earthquake

Methodology:

Research Design

This study uses a descriptive design used to utilize the purpose of accurately portraying the invention

that has been chosen because of some characteristics. This design aims to gather more information on

certain characteristics within a particular field of the study. The purpose of this study is to provide a picture

of a situation as it’s naturally happen.

Conclusion:

The conclusion of the study participated by the researchers of West Bay Colleges. Therefore the

researcher conclude that the study they creating for is considered as a detector, because of its

effectiveness in using this kind of prototype to alert everyone that there is an alarm in the said location.

Recommendation:

This recommendation are drawn based on the conclusion of the study.

1. The researchers recommend for the teachers to seek further to, continuously ask for this kind of

project that are relevant to their school works as a students.

2. The researchers recommend for the school administrators to support the suggestion that the

teachers will to enhance the abilities of some students in making or creating with their own

inventions that may help to their academics.

3. The researchers recommend for the future researchers to continue this kind of study/Prototype

and also this can be a guide for them or be a support for doing the same study.
