Virtual Earthquake

For schools with easy access to computer labs or with 1-1 laptop initiatives, try this "Virtual Earthquake" activity. Students measure s-p lag times, estimate the energy of the earthquake using a nomogram, 'draw' the circles for triangulation, and practice using longitude & latitude measurements.

Enjoy!

Great idea! I am glad you were willing to create this message board. I will be periodically checking in to answer questions if anyone has any about the materials presented during the first week of this workshop. You can also email me directly if you would like.
