Earthquakes (day 3) Practicing Graphing

Aim, Learning Target and Agenda  Aim:  How can you use a graph of earthquake waves’ travel distance and time to find an epicenter?  Learning Target:  I can use observational data to solve for the earthquake epicenter.  Agenda  Catalyst  Intro to Procedure of Mini Lab  Lab  Exit Ticket

Do Now  An earthquake produces waves that travel away from the earthquake’s epicenter, like ripples on a pond when you throw in a pebble. An earthquake produces three types of waves, primary (P waves), secondary (S waves), and surface waves. Seismologists track how far and how fast P and S waves travel to find the epicenter of the quake. In this investigation, you will construct a travel-time graph for P and S waves. You will use the graph to answer some questions about earthquakes.  1. What causes an earthquake?  2. What is the epicenter of an earthquake?

Magnitude  Richter Scale  1 – 10  2 is 10x bigger than 1  3 is 100x bigger than 1  (each time you go up, x 10)

Procedure  An earthquake produced P and S waves that were recorded by instruments at 20 stations. These waves are listed in the Data Table on the next page. The table shows the distance traveled and the travel time for each wave. Using these data, construct a graph showing the relationship between the distance traveled by P and S waves and their travel times.  Label the curves P wave or S wave  Use your graph to answer the questions.

Heres how you do it

After your done  Answer the questions  HW:  Finish Any questions that you have not completed!
