Annotation of: What is an Earthquake? Recurrence Interval
No full textThis resource is used in the Living in Earthquake Country Teaching Box, Lesson 3: "Earthquake Patterns", Activity 2: "Patterns of Recurrence". It is an activity in which students relate the amount of slip in a single earthquake to the total accumulated offset over a very long time. The resource being annotated is: http://www.dlese.org/dds/catalog_DLESE-000-000-008-831.htm
Annotation of: What is Richter Magnitude?
No full textThis resource is used in the 'Living in Earthquake Country' Teaching Box, Lesson 5: 'A Whole Lot of Shakin' Goin' On!'. It is used as background for teachers to describe Dr. Charles F. Richter's magnitude scale for expressing the seismic energy released by an earthquake. The resource being annotated is: http://www.dlese.org/dds/catalog_DLESE-000-000-001-600.htm
Annotation of: Landslides
No full textThis resource is used in the Living in Earthquake Country Teaching Box, Lesson 6, activity 1: "Shaking and Landslides". It is used as a teacher tip and as the basis for the activity, modified to demonstrate landslides caused by shaking. The resource being annotated is: http://www.dlese.org/dds/catalog_DLESE-000-000-002-229.htm
Annotation of: Biology Project (Gone Fishing)
