Seismology & Volcanology
Chapter: 8 & 9 Approximate Length: 3 Weeks
High School Earth Science Objectives
· E3.2b Explain how scientists infer that the Earth has internal layers with discernable properties using patterns of primary and secondary seismic wave arrivals.
· E3.4b Describe how the sizes of earthquakes and volcanoes are measured or characterized.
· E3.4c Describe the effects of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions on humans.
· E3.4f Explain why fences are offset after an earthquake using the elastic rebound theory.
· E3.3d Distinguish plate boundaries by the pattern of depth and magnitude of earthquakes.
· E3.4a Use the distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes to locate and determine the types of plate boundaries.
