BIG IDEA – COPY BELOW YOUR MAP! Earthquakes are more likely to occur at plate boundaries.

More info… There are small earthquakes every day, and in general we aren’t aware of them. In this way, earthquakes are like many other geoscience processes that usually make only gradual changes but are sometimes much stronger, catastrophic events like the ones shown at the end of the video. Earthquakes can changes Earth’s surface in different ways. Strong earthquakes can cause cracks and shifts in the crust, or sometimes trigger landslides or tsunamis, which change Earth’s surface in their own ways. Some of Earth’s changes are very slow and happen over millions of years, like the formation of a mountain. But others can be very sudden, like a very strong earthquakes. Scientists can’t yet predict the exact time that a large earthquake will occur, but they continue to look for patterns in data like this lesson for clue. Earthquakes are another piece of evidence that shows us that Earth is constantly shifting and changing.
