2. Part 3 Step 2 Question 2
Q:What do you notice about the distribution of these
earthquakes?
A: The earthquakes are distributed all on the
boundary lines.
3. Part 3 Step 2 Question 3
Q: How does the distribution of these
earthquakes compare to others?
A: That they are all in groups against the
Convergent Boundary. And they are more near
the oceans.
4. Part 3 Step 2 Question 5
Q: What type of plate boundary is associated with earthquakes that have a
magnitude of 7.0 or greater?
A: The occur by Convergent boundaries.
5. Part 3 Step 3 Question 4
Q: What Percentage of big earthquakes occur within 100 miles of a
convergent plate boundary?
A: 613 out 1286 of 48% of big earthquakes occur within 100 miles of
convergent plate boundaries.
6. Part 3 Step 3 Question 5
Q:What Percentage of big earthquakes occur within 200 miles of a
convergent plate boundary?
A: 977 out of 1286 so that is 76% of big earthquakes occur within 200 miles
of a convergent plate boundary.
7. (Initial) Ten places I think that will get a
earthquake sometime in the future:
California
Alaska
China
Chile
Peru
Italy
Russia
Japan
Kazakhstan
Indonesia
8. Places that I think are overdue for an
Alaska earthquake:
Chile
Japan
California
Saudi Rarbia
Russia
China
Spain
Brazil
United Kingdom
10. What new technology do
scientists have to predict
earthquakes
New Technology:
Scientists have satellites that can detect
earthquakes days and even weeks before they
occur.
12. Overall:
I have learned a lot about earthquakes. I have learned that earthquakes
are caused by tectonic plates moving/shifting and creating what we call
an earthquake. It helps when scientists can tell through satellites when
an earthquake is going to hit, by doing that they can give out a warning to
the people.
Earthquakes usually occur along the plate boundary lines because the
tectonic plates are always moving and that is why earthquakes
particularly occur along the place boundary line.
