This week in our class we have been talking about how the surface of the Earth can be changed by forces such as earthquakes and glaciers. We have been specifically focused on earthquakes. We have been studying what causes them, and how they change the surface of the earth. As we are studying earthquakes we have learned many technical terms that are associated with earthquakes, so I would like for our students to visit http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learning/animations/ . This site allows the students to see animations of terms such as Amplification, Divergent Boundary, and Thrust Fault. Students should watch the animations for each term, so they can further understand the properties of earthquakes, and what causes them.
After students look at the animations, they should watch this fun video by Dr. Textbook. It gives the students some really interesting facts about earthquakes!!!
