Earth Science Unit 2 Day 11

Learning: Students will learn about minimizing the impacts 

of earthquakes by constructing and evaluating models in 

writing using the language of science (infrastructure, 

engineering, force, magnitude, energy, pressure, plate 

movements, causes of structural failures, effects, seismic 

waves, earthquake epicenter and focus)

Questions:

  1. What types of structures might survive an earthquake the best? (brain)
  2. What factors should you consider when trying to minimize earthquake damage? (brain)
  3. Why are some buildings and structures damaged more than others during earthquakes? (book/brain)
