**Did you finish your VOLCANO homework??*
**Set up NEW cornell notes on the next page! Write your
objective and LEQ!!**

Objective: SWBAT describe the anatomy of an
earthquake and relate to different types of

HW: Study for Friday’s quiz
Activating Strategy
• Imagine that you have just received news that Charlotte is
preparing for an earthquake. If you had to prepare an
emergency kit, what would you include?
(Use complete sentences!)
• Prepare for binder check
• Get out volcano half-sheet to be collected
Follow-up: Did you think of these things?
• First aid kit and instruction booklet
• Plastic tarp or a small tent
• Emergency ("space") blankets and one sleeping bag for each family
member
• At least one gallon of bottled water per person, per day. For a 3-day
supply, that adds up to three gallons of water per person
• Enough canned or dried food for 3 days
• Can opener
• Flashlight (easily in reach)
• Battery-powered radio
• Spare batteries for everything (stored separately in waterproof bags)
• Toilet paper, soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes, and other personal
supplies
• Multi-purpose dry chemical (Class ABC) fire extinguisher
• Any important medicine and supplies for infants, elderly people, and
others with special needs

What is an earthquake?
• An earthquake is the shaking of the ground due to the
movements of tectonic plates
What causes an
Earthquake?
Along a fault, energy
builds up in a rock
until it breaks and
releases energy.
This release of
energy causes an
earthquake.
What is the Elastic Rebound
Theory?
• Gradual buildup, and release of stress and strain,
between tectonic plates which leads to
earthquakes
What Causes Earthquakes?
• As tectonic plates push,
pull or scrape against
each other, stress builds
up along faults until the
rocks finally move
• A fault is a break in the
Earth’s crust where
plates slide, push or pull
against each other
What are the parts of an earthquake?
The epicenter is the location on the surface of the Earth directly
above the focus. Surface waves move outward from the
epicenter.
The focus of an earthquake is the point INSIDE the Earth where
the earthquake starts. It is the place below the earth’s
surface where the rocks tear, come apart, or collide.
The fault is the break in the
crust where the earthquake occurs,
between two blocks of rock that
have moved past each other.
What is a Seismograph
• Records ground movements caused by
earthquakes, explosions, or other Earth-shaking
phenomena.
Magnitudes and Energy of Earthquakes
Annual Numbers of EQs
What’s the message?
MOST of the energy is released by around 20 magnitude-7 and larger EQs
every year.
Seismic intensity is affected by rock type.
Amplitude of oscillation
Form a hypothesis about how would you expect the houses to react
during an EQ.
Seismic intensity is affected by rock type.
Amplitude of oscillation increasing
What is an Aftershock?
• Smaller earthquake that occurs after a previous
large earthquake, in the same area of the main
shock.
Earthquake Project
• With your partner, read the article provided
• You will create a poster that needs to include the following:
• Table of information
• Diagram of earthquake with the labeled parts (fault, epicenter, focus)
• Definitions of the following vocabulary words: aftershock, fault, focus,
epicenter, seismograph
• You must include at least 3 colors!!
• Create table on the copy paper which displays the following
information about YOUR earthquake:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Earthquake Location
Date of Earthquake
Magnitude
Location of Epicenter
Approximate Deaths
Major destruction and damage
• Draw and label the different parts of an earthquake
• You have 15 minutes

Exit Ticket
1. Draw and label diagram which represents an earthquake
and its components.
2. What is an aftershock?
3. What records ground movements caused by
earthquakes, explosions, or other Earth-shaking
phenomena?
4. True or False: Seismic intensity (vibration) is greater on bed
rock than on water-saturated sand and mud.
5. True or False: A 7.0 magnitude earthquake will always cause
the same amount of damage, regardless of where the
earthquake occurs (ex. Haiti vs. California)
