The Earthquakes textbook is divided into 16 chapters. It will take only a few minutes of your time to read the chapter summary, look at the pictures, and detremine the materials needed to do the experiment in each chapter.

Sample chapters

  • Tsunamis: Great Sea Waves are giant sea waves that can reach a height of 30 meters as they come ashore.
  • San Andreas Fault runs north and south through California separating the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate.
  • Faults are fractures between two blocks of rocks. Normal faults and thrust faults are two types of faults that cause earthquakes.

Earthquakes on the Ring of Fire

The Ring of Fire forms a horseshoe shape around the Pacific Ocean. It is home to 75% of the world's volcanoes and 90% of its earthquakes. The Pacific Ocean is decreasing in size as the Atlantic Ocean increases in size.

Subduction zones are found along the Ring of Fire that generate earthquakes when two plates collide and the rocks fracture.

Sample experiments

  • Can You Hear That Wave?
  • Tin Can Seismograph

Your students can look over the experiments in each chapter and gather the materials they will need. They will find most of the materials listed in each experiment around your home or at a nearby store.
