Description
We have developed and implemented a three week curricular unit on earthquakes. This unit followed a unit on plate tectonics and covers three specific topics: (1) Earthquakes, faults, and the relationship between these and plate boundaries, (2) Recording earthquakes and using seismic data to determine earthquake location and size, and (3) Earthquake hazards, forecasting and safety.
