Description
The lab activity is intended to be done prior to covering the material in the slide set to encourage the students to draw from their personal experiences with friction and elasticity.

In the review slides, elastic rebound is defined and the deformation in the near-field and far-field of a fault is illustrated. These slides discuss where and why aftershocks occur and include animations of aftershock sequences following two M 5 earthquakes in southern California.
