Topic Sentence:  The earthquakes caused scientists to rethink their understanding of liquefaction.
Supporting Sentence:  Before the earthquakes, scientists believed that the shaking of the ground caused the water-filled sediment and soil to lose strength, which made it behave more like a liquid than a solid. ]]> 2017-08-09 23:24:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tkuiti/mh7tad4aly24/wish/180540045 tkuiti https://padlet.com/tkuiti/mh7tad4aly24/wish/180849283 2017-08-13 23:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tkuiti/mh7tad4aly24/wish/180849283 tkuiti https://padlet.com/tkuiti/mh7tad4aly24/wish/180849526 What is a Richter Scale and how does it work? - can you find a short video clip on Youtube to assist your learning on this topic?  Add it to your Padlet.  A Richter Scale is a chart that shows how strong a earthquake is and it works by telling us small, strong, and major etc.  Also each one is ten times stronger than the previous one.]]> 2017-08-13 23:12:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tkuiti/mh7tad4aly24/wish/180849526 tkuiti https://padlet.com/tkuiti/mh7tad4aly24/wish/180850541 2017-08-13 23:31:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tkuiti/mh7tad4aly24/wish/180850541 tkuiti https://padlet.com/tkuiti/mh7tad4aly24/wish/181003385 Skim read slide 3 again.  Diagrams, images, maps, and charts all show visual information.  It is important to understand them.  What are the images showing on slide 3?  How is liquefaction caused?  Liquefaction is caused when a earthquake happens sediment comes bursting upwards and goes all through the sand and breaks through the tar.  What is sediment?  Sediment is the remains at the bottom of a liquid.]]> 2017-08-15 00:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/tkuiti/mh7tad4aly24/wish/181003385 tkuiti https://padlet.com/tkuiti/mh7tad4aly24/wish/181003486 2017-08-15 00:08:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tkuiti/mh7tad4aly24/wish/181003486 tkuiti https://padlet.com/tkuiti/mh7tad4aly24/wish/181003858 Which of the two earthquakes was worse and why?  The 6.3 earthquake was worse because the liquefaction caused extensive damage and this one didn't break across the fault line.  What was the size difference between the two earthquakes?  The size difference is 0.8.  On the Richter Scale diagram, why are the levels coloured differently, do you think? Because the darker the colour, the more stronger they are.]]> 2017-08-15 00:13:04 UTC https://padlet.com/tkuiti/mh7tad4aly24/wish/181003858 tkuiti https://padlet.com/tkuiti/mh7tad4aly24/wish/181004398 What do they diagrams on slide 5 show?  The diagrams on page 5 show the trampoline effect.  Skim read the Interpreting the Data paragraphs again.  What three factors caused the intensity of the earthquakes?  1. The fault lines were very solid.  2. The rupture of the earthquake was much faster than others.  3.
