What do I think it will be about

I think it will be about earthquakes, the Christchurch earthquakes, how people have tried to fix it up and information on what an earthquake is. ]]> 2017-08-09 23:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ethwaites/sfv1u7dgwz4g/wish/180538683 ethwaites https://padlet.com/ethwaites/sfv1u7dgwz4g/wish/180540042 The topic sentence states that 
The Christchurch earthquakes of 2010 and 2011 had terrible consequences for the city.

By studying the causes and impact of the earthquakes, scientists now understand more about the process involved. ]]> 2017-08-09 23:24:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ethwaites/sfv1u7dgwz4g/wish/180540042 ethwaites https://padlet.com/ethwaites/sfv1u7dgwz4g/wish/180542273 The main aim of the scientists is to research on earth processes such as landslides, earthquakes, floods and volcanic eruptions.

The first 1 was caused by movement from fault lines along West of the city beneath the Canterbury Plains.
The 2nd earthquake was caused by...
Liquefaction caused more damage but the cause of the earthquake was from one fault line that did not break the surface where as the 2010  earthquake is said to have had movement from 5 fault lines.
What is Liquefaction?
Liquefaction is cracks in the ground from the shaking which causes water to come up from the water-filled sediment.
The earthquakes caused scientists to rethink their understanding of liquefaction.

A Ritcher Scale is a sort of chart that rates the size of an earthquake by measuring the energy that the earthquake produced. All the whole numbers on the scale are 10 times the number before it. Such as a level 7 earthquake which would be times the size of a level 6 earthquake and 100 times the size of a level 5 one which means an earthquake below level 3 usually won't be felt.]]> 2017-08-16 23:07:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ethwaites/sfv1u7dgwz4g/wish/181346324 ethwaites https://padlet.com/ethwaites/sfv1u7dgwz4g/wish/181346780 2017-08-16 23:14:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ethwaites/sfv1u7dgwz4g/wish/181346780 ethwaites https://padlet.com/ethwaites/sfv1u7dgwz4g/wish/181346831 What are the images showing on slide 3?
They are showing what Liquefaction is and what it does.  They are also showing the before, during and after of an earthquake.
How is liquefaction caused?
It is caused by pressured water in the ground which escapes to the surface due to the shaking.
What is sediment?
A matter that settles to the bottom of a liquid.]]> 2017-08-16 23:15:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ethwaites/sfv1u7dgwz4g/wish/181346831 ethwaites https://padlet.com/ethwaites/sfv1u7dgwz4g/wish/181348107 And why?
The 2nd earthquake was worse because the 1st earthquake had no deaths and 2 serious injuries and the 2nd earthquake had 185 deaths.  There was also alot more damage done.
What was the size difference between the 2 earthquakes?
0.8 of a magnitude 6.3 - 7.1
On the Richter Scale diagram, why are the levels coloured differently, do you think?
I think the levels are coloured differently as the lighter colours would mean a weaker earthquake and the darker colours would be a stronger earthquake.]]> 2017-08-16 23:32:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ethwaites/sfv1u7dgwz4g/wish/181348107 ethwaites https://padlet.com/ethwaites/sfv1u7dgwz4g/wish/181516404 The diagrams show what the trampoline layer is and what it does.  It sort of shows what happens during an earthquake the shaking as it is like a trampoline bouncing up and down
What three factors caused the intensity of the earthquakes?
Fault lines:  They were very solid/strong.
Speed:  The earthquake rupture was also thought to be faster than earthquake's of this magnitude.
The Trampoline Effect:  This affected the damage of the earthquake so much more because the top weaker layer lifts up and separates from the lower layer then falls back down onto the lower layer like when an object is being bounced on a trampoline.
