This document discusses earthquake prediction and factors that influence it. It notes that most major earthquakes occur along tectonic plate boundaries where faults are common. The document also mentions that seismologists are working to develop tools like satellite monitoring to help forecast quakes, but prediction remains difficult. Key factors mentioned are stresses building in the Earth's crust and release of infrared radiation.

Earthquakes are caused by vibrations that travel through the Earth's crust. They are measured on scales that indicate their magnitude, or size. Strong earthquakes can cause damage like cracks in the ground and broken buildings. Earthquake waves called seismic waves come in two types - P waves and S waves. The 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan was very powerful, measuring 7.9 in magnitude. It caused environmental damage through cracks and fires as well as economic and social impacts for Japan.

Investigating earthquakes

amw10

The document discusses factors that influence earthquake prediction and locations that are prone to earthquakes. It summarizes that most major quakes occur near convergent plate boundaries in places that have not experienced a significant quake recently. Based on proximity to plate boundaries and past earthquake activity, the top 10 countries most likely to experience a major quake soon are listed as the United States, Mexico, Russia, Venezuela, Colombia, Algeria, Spain, Portugal, India, and New Zealand. Of these, the United States is identified as most likely due to its location on a convergent plate boundary with ongoing small quakes but fewer major quakes than other parts of the boundary.

Floe Project

The document discusses making open educational resources (OERs) more flexible and inclusive. It argues that most current OERs focus on polished delivery rather than learner engagement, use inflexible formats, and do not support peer learning or translation. The document proposes a model called "one size fits one" that customizes content to individual learner needs and preferences through teaching inclusive design, transforming content, and augmenting OERs with tools for contributions and choosing customized versions.

CSUN Inclusive Design Changes Perspective

This document summarizes a presentation on inclusive design given by Jess Mitchell at OCAD University in Toronto. The presentation aims to change the audience's perspective on inclusive design. Mitchell defines inclusive design as design that considers the full range of human diversity and involves recognizing diversity, using an inclusive process, and having a broader beneficial impact. Mitchell discusses three tenants of inclusive design: recognizing diversity and uniqueness, using an inclusive process and tools, and having a broader beneficial impact. The presentation provides examples of how an inclusive design process can be applied and encourages practicing inclusive design to solve problems in a more creative and affordable way.

Hewlett presentation OER 2011

This document discusses an approach to making open educational resources (OER) accessible to all learners by allowing them to express their individual needs and matching them with flexible resources. It proposes a three-part system: 1) tools for learners to discover and express needs and preferences, 2) a service to transform or find alternative resources to meet those needs, and 3) growing a community of "producers" to create resources. This approach aims to address problems with digital technology design, accessibility legislation and special education services by focusing on individual needs rather than categories. It is presented as being aligned with OER principles and having potential benefits for inclusion and economic growth.

Inclusive Design and OERs

The document discusses inclusive design of open educational resources (OERs) to make them accessible and usable for all people. It emphasizes that inclusive design, which aims to accommodate individual user needs and preferences, is preferable to universal design, which assumes a one-size-fits-all approach. The document provides strategies for making OERs more inclusive through personalized and flexible content, user interfaces, and tools that can match unique users' needs and abilities. It encourages commitment to building inclusivity into online content and applications from the start.

Earthquake findings

RileyandTheresa

1) South Washington and the boundary of the Eurasian plate are at high risk for earthquakes according to a map showing seismic activity. 2) California, Greece, Alaska, Italy, Texas, Japan, Chile, and Haiti have all experienced major earthquakes in recent years and remain areas where aftershocks could still occur. 3) Factors that influence earthquake prediction include previous seismic activity in an area, the boundaries of tectonic plates, and whether an earthquake may be an aftershock of a previous large quake.

Earthquakes are caused by the abrupt rupture and rebound of rocks in the earth's crust where elastic strain has accumulated slowly over time. They are measured using devices that detect seismic waves, and their magnitude refers to their size or intensity. Major earthquakes can cause damage through tsunamis and aftershocks, resulting in death and destruction of infrastructure and the environment. There are two main types of seismic waves - P waves and S waves - with P waves traveling faster through solids and liquids. The 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan registered a magnitude 9.0 and had devastating effects, including tsunamis, destroyed cities, loss of life, and damage to Japan's economy and global supply chains.

1) Earthquakes occur along fault lines where tectonic plates meet. Scientists can rate earthquake strength on the Richter scale but predicting exact timing remains difficult. 2) Strain builds up over time at plate boundaries until suddenly releasing energy in an earthquake. Factors like past earthquake history, satellite imaging of ground changes, and seismograph readings help scientists predict general locations and timing of future quakes. 3) Major earthquakes tend to strike where tectonic plates meet, such as along western North and South America and islands off East Asia.

Earthquakes occur along fault lines in the Earth's crust. While they are difficult to predict precisely, scientists can determine areas that are most at risk based on historical earthquake data and monitoring of tectonic plate movements. New technologies like satellites and seismographs are helping scientists better detect subtle crust movements that may precede major quakes and improve prediction over time.

Earthquake Presentation

singingstar818

Earthquakes are difficult to predict due to movement deep within the Earth's crust. Scientists study past earthquake data and use technologies like satellites and seismographs to monitor ground movement and temperature changes in order to make rough predictions about earthquake risks. The most at-risk areas tend to be near tectonic plate boundaries, especially around the Pacific Ocean where many of the largest earthquakes occur.

1) The document lists 10 places that may experience earthquakes next based on their locations along convergent plate boundaries or areas of tectonic plate activity. These places include Mexico, California, Italy, Greece, North and South Korea, Singapore, Alaska, Chile, and Algeria. 2) Earthquakes occur where tectonic plates meet, such as at convergent boundaries where plates collide or slide past one another. Aftershocks can sometimes be stronger than the initial quake. 3) Seismologists consider factors like position of boundaries, crust activity levels, and past quake history to predict future earthquake locations. Areas directly on plate boundaries or with new crust are higher risk.

Inquiry Project 3

Natalie Bolen

The document describes Natalie Bolen's experience of an earthquake in southern Indiana in 2008. She felt her room shaking and wonders what caused it. The earthquake was located on the New Madrid fault line, a zone of deep cracks in the earth's surface. Scientists use seismographs to measure earthquakes on the Richter scale and by intensity levels. The region has experienced earthquakes since 1811-1812, and there is potential for future quakes due to reactivated ancient faults.

Earthquake findings

The document analyzes potential locations for future earthquakes based on several factors. It lists the top 10 countries/states that are most likely to experience earthquakes, including North and South Korea, California, Japan, Chile, Texas, China, Jamaica, Australia, India, and Alaska. It then discusses key learnings about earthquakes occurring near tectonic plates and fault lines, and factors that influence earthquake prediction like plate movement and areas considered overdue for seismic activity.

Most earthquakes occur around the Pacific Ocean and where tectonic plates meet, especially at convergent plate boundaries. Over half of large earthquakes with a magnitude of 7.0 or greater happen within 100 miles of a convergent plate boundary, and around 80% occur within 200 miles. Seismologists are using new tools like InSAR, infrared cameras, and satellite-based methods to better monitor and potentially predict earthquake activity.

Earthquake Data in the Earth Toolbox

swimmer4evr

The document discusses factors that influence earthquake prediction and where major earthquakes tend to occur. It notes that earthquakes often happen near plate boundaries, especially convergent boundaries where tectonic plates collide. About 47% of big earthquakes in recent years have occurred within 100 miles of a convergent plate boundary, and 71% within 200 miles. Major factors for prediction include locations of recent quakes, plate boundaries, and whether a recent quake was major in magnitude.

Earthquakes and Tsunamis

Yasy19

Earthquakes are caused by the shifting of tectonic plates underneath the earth's crust, which can cause faults to rupture. The movement of these plates can also trigger tsunamis by disturbing the seafloor. Earthquakes are measured based on how large the originating fault is and how much it slips. While earthquakes cannot be predicted, preparation is important and involves having an emergency plan and following guidelines from organizations like FEMA. Examples of historic quakes include the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the 1960 Chile earthquake, and the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake in Japan.

Hannahs ppt pres

Hannah learned several things about earthquake prediction through this project. First, nearby earthquakes can influence the timing of future quakes in an area. Second, the magnitude of earthquakes follows patterns that can aid prediction, as larger quakes are usually preceded by smaller ones. Lastly, major earthquakes can have widespread economic and social impacts around the world. Factors like a location's proximity to tectonic plate boundaries and fault lines determine earthquake risk, as the shaking is strongest closest to where the plates interact. Some of the regions with the largest quakes historically are Chile, Japan, California, China, Turkey, Italy, Africa, Australia, Texas, and Alaska due to their positions on plate boundaries or fault systems.

An earthquake is caused by the sudden release of built-up energy along fault lines in the earth's crust. Most earthquakes occur along plate boundaries and fault lines, especially around the Pacific Ring of Fire. Earthquakes can cause tremendous damage through ground shaking and secondary effects like tsunamis. Recent major quakes in Nepal and Japan killed over 9,000 and led to widespread destruction. While earthquakes can't be prevented, communities can take steps to minimize damage by strengthening buildings and infrastructure and preparing emergency plans.
