Tracking earthquakes

christopher_guy — 2015-03-18 22:12:00 UTC

You will look at this site and see how scientisits track earthquakes.

Being a Scientists

christopher_guy — 2015-03-18 22:14:00 UTC

You can have the students write a reenactment on a radio station that describes an earthquake that has hit the area hard. They will need to use all the verbiage that are included with layers, tectonics, ect. They can script it out as though they were actually on a radio describing what has happened.

You can find a video of an actual earthquake to complete this task.

Research

christopher_guy — 2015-03-18 22:15:00 UTC

To conduct the reenactment, you will need to look at various sites that discuss earthquakes and video feed. You can watch various clips on the weather channel for example and see how they discuss an earthquake

Google Earth

christopher_guy — 2015-03-18 22:17:01 UTC

Use images from Google Earth to track your earthquakes that you are watching to see if there is a trend based off location and what type of plate boundary is in the area of the earthquake.
