The size of an earthquake -Richter magnitude scale based on measurements of amplitude of waves on a seismogram ( you will do this in the Virtual earthquake assignment) -Measure amplitude of tallest waves ( usually the S waves )
Objective: In this lab, you will learn how to determine the location and magnitude of an earthquake. Click on Virtual Earthquake. DO NOT CLICK ON EARTHQUAKE! To begin, click on Execute Virtual Earthquake. Using this web page, answer the questions below. 1. What is an earthquake?
In this virtual investigation you will study simulated earthquakes from different locations in the world. After an earthquake occurs, you will gather information from three seismograms. Using the data provided, you will determine the epicenter and the magnitude of each earthquake.
Virtual Earthquake: Locate an earthquake’s Epicenter and determine its Richter Magnitude.
20 lis 2023 · Creating a tabletop exercise for earthquake disasters is relatively straightforward in just five steps. And it can be made even simpler by using an earthquake tabletop exercise template. Follow these five steps, and download this free tabletop exercise template to get started.
Teachers have access to simulation-specific tips and video primers, resources for teaching with simulations, and activities shared by our teacher community. Founded in 2002 by Nobel Laureate Carl Wieman, the PhET Interactive Simulations project at the University of Colorado Boulder creates free interactive math and science simulations.
