Aim: What destructive events can be triggered from earthquakes? Japan Earthquake/Tsunami 2011 Japan Earthquake/Fire 2011

1)Buildings: I. Earthquake Damage 2) Liquefaction Solid materials that are saturated begins to act like a fluid when vibrated What do you think are some factors that determine structural damage?

3) Tsunamis the Japanese word for “seismic sea wave.” triggered by an earthquake or landslide, travels very fast.

a. Tsunami Warning System Pacific seismic stations relay data to Hawaii and other island nations. this gives sufficient time to evacuate coastal areas.

II. Earthquake Predictions a.Short-Range Predictions So far predictions have not been successful. b. Long-Range Forecasts A seismic gap is an area along a fault where there has not been any earthquake activity for a long period of time.

III. Preparedness If you live in an Earthquake prone area what things would you do to prevent loss of life or damage to your home?
