1. ANNOUNCEMENTS
Exams back at the end of class. If you took yours by name, you don’t get it back yet until I get an from you with your PIN. A couple of PINs I have no names for…
First group project: due Monday Feb. 26
choose any volcano or any earthquake
put together a 3-4 page paper with its location, tectonic setting, kind of fault or volcano, any other interesting information, and how it affected people in the surrounding area. Choose jobs for each group member, and tell me who did what. Watch your for detailed instructions and rubric.

2. TODAY Finish the exercise from Monday A “pre-test”, and an explanation
then
FINALLY!! Volcanoes (rule)

3. First, of course, a quick review

4. Generally speaking, the greatest control on intensity is
how far you are from the epicenter
the magnitude of the earthquake
the local geology
how long the shaking lasts

5. (not a clicker question)
forecasting earthquakes is a critical science, but not a well-developed one
using foreshocks, seismic gaps, water wells, leveling lines (ground deformation) etc., is worth a try, but right now we know very little about how to successfully predict an eq

6. What’s smarter than a talking parrot?
A spelling bee

7. Finish the exercise from Monday.
be careful: a correlation doesn’t have to be universally true to generally work
what characterizes deep earthquakes?
what characterizes moderate earthquakes?
what characterizes shallow earthquakes?
the correlation doesn’t need to be precise, like this, in order to exist!
depth
damage

8. While you are communing with your group…
Brainstorm for 5 minutes (time keeper?) and agree on THREE things you need to know to feel like you can assess a volcanic hazard
