PPT-Earthquake Safety 6 th Grade Earth Science

Earthquake Risk Earthquakes are likely wherever plate movement stores energy in the rock along faults Geologists can determine earthquake risk by locating where faults are active and where past earthquakes have occurred. :.

As plates move, we may feel these movements as earthquakes. If there were no plate motions, our planet would not look like home. There would be no mountains, no valleys, no plateaus .

A short lecture activity sequence designed to engage students in learning about EQ epicenter location . Tectonic plates are huge rock pieces within the earth’s crust. The plates are usually marked by fractures or fault lines formed when the plates tear apart or slide or collide past each other. This results in a change of the earth’s interior masses which send out powerful shock waves with enough force to alter the surface of the earth. The shock waves can thrust up cliffs and open huge cracks on the ground leading to an earthquake event. earthquake. (also known as a . quake. , . tremor. or . temblor. ) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the . Earth's. . crust. that creates . seismic waves. . . The . seismicity. , . seismism. An earthquake is a motion of the ground surface.. According to A.N. . Strahler. and A.H. . Strahler. ,(1976), ‘An earthquake is a vibration or oscillation of the surface of the earth caused by a transient disturbance of the elastic or gravitational equilibrium of the rocks at or beneath the earth the surface’.. Pick up materials for the model. Assemble your model. Explore the behavior of the model and consider the following… “How this might this model represent the earthquake process?”. Earthquake Machine.
