Essential Question: How does Earth's composition change the landscape? Investigation Question: How do earthquakes affect with the landscape?
Investigation 3 Claim:
Earthquakes occur at the focus of a fault directly under the epicenter. Seismic waves, such as Surface/S/P waves, deform the crust (Primary Effects) as the waves move outward and the damage depends on rock density. The energy released can cause fire, tsunamis, landslides, and liquefaction (Secondary Effects).
Terms:
Earthquakes, Seismic Waves, Surface Waves, S-Waves, P-Waves, Epicenter, Primary Effect, Secondary Effects, Liquefaction, Focus

2. How do earthquakes affect with the landscape?
Evidence Figure 3.1
Justification
How does the evidence justify the claim that an earthquake occurs at the focus of a fault?
Terms: Earthquakes, Epicenter, Focus, Convergent Boundary, Subduction
See: Measuring the Size of an Earthquake

3. How do earthquakes affect with the landscape?
Evidence: Figure 3.2
Justification
How does the evidence support the claim that seismic waves deform the crust where the damage depends on the density of the rock?
Terms: Seismic Waves, Surface Waves, S-Waves, P-Waves, Epicenter, Primary Effect
See: Measuring the Size of an Earthquake
& Primary and Secondary Effects of EQ

4. How do earthquakes affect with the landscape?
Evidence Figure 3.3
Justification
How does the evidence support the claim that the energy released by seismic waves causes liquefaction?
Terms: Earthquakes, Seismic Waves, Surface Waves, Secondary Effects, Liquefaction, Focus
See: Primary and Secondary Effects of EQ & Soil Liquefaction

5. Investigation Question: How do earthquakes affect with the landscape?
Claim: Earthquakes occur at the focus of a fault directly under the epicenter. Seismic waves, such as Surface/S/P waves, deform the crust (Primary Effects) as the waves move outward and the damage depends on rock density. The energy released can cause fire, tsunamis, landslides, and liquefaction (Secondary Effects).
