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

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.

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

More viscous lava will have a more violent eruption, exploding upwards. Less viscous lava will simply flow over the volcano’s edge, producing no major eruption C 500
