2 Warm-Up “A major 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck southern Haiti in Jan 2010, knocking down buildings and power lines and inflicting a catastrophe for the Western Hemisphere's poorest nation.” …However, a 7.0 magnitude has also hit California without causing as much damage.  Why do you think Haiti had more damage even though the earthquake was the same intensity?  *Explain using a 5+ sentence paragraph

3 Haiti and Chile: A Tale of Two Earthquakes “The 8.8-magnitude earthquake that hit Chile early on Feb. 27 was 500 times stronger than the 7.0 quake that killed an estimated 200,000 Haitians last month. And yet the number of casualties in Chile appears to be exponentially smaller, with the official death toll still in the hundreds. Far fewer people were rendered homeless than in Haiti, and much of the telephone service in Santiago and parts of central Chile had been restored within five hours”

4 What type of destruction occurs from Earthquakes? LANDSLIDES FIRES TSUNAMIS

5 Destruction from Earthquakes Tsunamis: –A tsunami triggered by an earthquake occurs where a slab of the ocean floor is displaced vertically along a fault. –It can also occur when the vibration of a quake sets an underwater landslide in motion.

6 Landslides: –With many earthquakes, the greatest damage to structures is from landslides and ground subsidence, or the sinking of the ground triggered by vibrations. –Liquefaction occurs when soil loses its strength and behaves like a liquid, causing foundations to collapse.

7 Fires: –The greatest destruction is often caused by fires when gas and electrical lines are cut and water lines are also broken, so the fire can’t be stopped. –More than 100,000 people died in fires from a 1923 earthquake in Japan.

13 Epicenter = S wave – P wave

14 Read units carefully (kilometers on top, miles on bottom) If the epicenter is 1500 miles away, the S wave and P wave are 4 minutes apart If the S wave and P wave are 5 minutes apart, the epicenter is 2000 miles away

15 A = Continental Crust B = Oceanic Crust C = Lithosphere D =Asthenosphere E = Mantle F = Outer Core G = Inner Core H = Crust

20 The Crust A 100

21 Layers of the Earth 200 Question A 200 Which layer of the Earth is solid and rocky but semi- solid in some areas due to high heat or low pressure?

22 The Mantle A 200

23 This is the major source of heat in the center of Earth, made up of iron-nickel A 300 Layers of the Earth 300 question

24 The Core A 300

25 Layers of the Earth 400 Question A 400 Which layer of Earth is semi-solid, where convection occurs, allowing the plates to move?

26 Asthenosphere A 400

27 This specific layer is made up of both the crust and uppermost mantle A 500 Layers of the Earth 500 Question

28 Lithosphere A 500

29 Convergent Boundaries100 question B 100 What plate motion do we see at convergent boundaries?

30 Plates collide/come together B 100

31 What 3 major geological features are associated with Convergent Boundaries? B 200 Convergent Boundary 200 Question
