| Summary: | Age Range: 8 and up (approximately - there are aspects that will appeal to people of all ages) Due to the massive earthquake in Chile on February 27th (magnitude 8.8 on the Richter Scale), I thought your children may have questions about earthquakes. At this USGS website (designed for kids) you can learn all about the science behind earthquakes and much more |
||
| Description: | When you get to the site you'll see a menu of items that include: *The Science of Earthquakes - Discover what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another and better understand terminology like fault, fault zone, magnitude, Richter Scale, hypocenter, and epicenter. *Latest Quakes - View an interactive map of the world indicating where and when earthquakes have happened. *Become an Earthquake Scientist - Learn how a geophysicist studies the Earth using gravity, magnetic, electrical, and seismic methods. *Animations - Watch incredible animations of liquefaction, strike-slip fault, thrust fault, wavefronts, foreshocks and more. *Puzzles and Games - Get coloring pages to print, take an earthquake quiz, enjoy an interactive word search puzzle, use a calculator to see how much bigger a magnitude 8.7 earthquake is than a 5.8. You'll also find terrific links to further resources, science projects, and "Earthquake ABC's." Then, learn what to do to stay safe in an earthquake at FEMA’s website. Enjoy! |
