1.  Earthquakes (Day 4) Reading Our Reference Table!

2.   Find Your New Seat! (1 Min)  Review Procedures (ON PAPER) (3 Min)  Answer Challenge Question: (1 Min)  What do we know about the structure of the earth because of seismic waves? Do Now: 3 Tasks

3.   AIM  How do we determine the distance of P and S waves, and/or the epicenter using our reference tables?  Learning Target  I CAN use my reference table and given information to calculate the distance of P and S waves as well as the epicenter of an earthquake.  Agenda  Catalyst  Mini Lesson  Practice (groups)  Exit Ticket Aim, Learning Target & Agenda

4.   Using Page 11 of the ESRT we can determine how long it will take each type of wave (P and S) to travel a specific distance. Turn to Page 11

5. 

6.  The The X-axis measures DISTANCE from Epicenter

7.  The units on the X-axis are x10^3 km. Ex: 1 really is 1000 km.

8.  The scale on the X-axis goes by 200 km.

9.  The Y axis measures TIME IT TAKES WAVES TO TRAVEL

10.  The units on the Y axis are MINUTES

11.  The scale on the Y axis goes by 20 seconds.

12.  Example #1: If an earthquake occurred 4200 km away, how long did it take the P wave to get there?

13.  Example: If an earthquake occurred 4200 km away, how long did it take the P wave to get there?

14. 

15.  Example #2: If an earthquake occurred 4200 km away, how long did it take the S wave to get there?

16.  Example: If an earthquake occurred 4200 km away, how long did it take the S wave to get there?

17. 

18.  Example #3: If it took a P wave 5:20 to arrive at a location, how far is it from the epicenter?

19. 

20. 

21.  How long would it take the S wave to travel the SAME DISTANCE Example #3: If it took a P wave 5:20 to arrive at a location, how far is it from the epicenter? How long would it take the S wave to travel the SAME DISTANCE

22.  Example #3: If it took a P wave 5:20 to arrive at a location, how far is it from the epicenter? How long would it take the S wave to travel the SAME DISTANCE Example #3: If it took a P wave 5:20 to arrive at a location, how far is it from the epicenter? How long would it take the S wave to travel the SAME DISTANCE

23.  Distance from Epicenter P-Wave Travel Time S-Wave Travel Time 2,800 km 10 minutes Solve the table

24.  Example #4: If an earthquake occurred 2800 km away, how long did it take the P wave to get there?

25.  Example: If an earthquake occurred 2800 km away, how long did it take the P wave to get there?
