Agenda:
Bell work
BP - Earthquakes
Earthquake triangulation activity
Daily Objective:
Today we will learn how to triangulate the epicenter of an Earthquake
Daily Question:
What is a P wave? What is an S wave?

2. Earthquake Triangulation - Vocab
Triangulation: is process that uses data from three seismograph stations to locate an earthquake's epicenter
Time Lag: The time difference between when the P and S wave arrive at a seismograph station.
P-waves: Primary Waves – These hit first. They travel at a rate of 6km/second
S-waves: Secondary waves – These hit second. They travel at a rate of 4km/sec
Epicenter: The point on the Earth’s surface above the focus
Focus: The place where the earthquake originates
Richter Scale: The scale used to rank the magnitude or size of an earthquake.
Calculate the P-S Wave time lag
Use the triangulation method to find the epicenter of = earthquakes.

3. Earthquake Triangulation
How do you calculate time lag?
How do you calculate the distance to the epicenter in kilometers?
How do you calculate how far away on the paper in centimeters the epicenter is?
How do you use the angle ruler?
