Earthquakes occur when built-up stress causes rocks beneath the earth's surface to suddenly break along faults. Rocks experience stress as the tectonic plates they reside in move and push against each other. This stress accumulates until it surpasses the rocks' elastic limit, at which point the rocks snap in an earthquake. The type of fault that forms depends on whether the rocks experience tension, compression, or shearing forces from plate movement.

Earthquakes - Interior - Magnitude - Hazards
This document discusses seismic waves and how they help reveal the internal structure of Earth. P-waves pass through solids and liquids while S-waves only pass through solids, allowing scientists to determine that Earth has a liquid outer core. It also describes two scales used to measure earthquakes - the Richter scale measures magnitude based on wave amplitude, while the Mercalli scale measures earthquake intensity through damage levels. Additional sections discuss online earthquake labs and hazards caused by earthquakes like fires, liquefaction, and destructive tsunamis generated by underwater seismic activity.
Earthquakes and Seismic Waves II
When an earthquake occurs, stored energy is released from the focus (starting point) and travels outward as seismic waves. There are two types of body waves - P waves and S waves - that travel through the earth's interior. Surface waves travel along the earth's surface and are the most destructive. By measuring the arrival times of seismic waves at multiple seismograph stations, scientists can use triangulation to determine the exact epicenter (surface location) of the earthquake.
Earthquakes.
An earthquake is caused by a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust along faults. The Earth has layers including the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. Plate tectonics involves the movement of plates in the mantle which can cause earthquakes at plate boundaries. Earthquakes produce seismic waves that are measured with seismographs. The location of the earthquake is found using three seismograph locations. Building damage depends on factors like magnitude, soil type, and building construction quality.

Seismic Waves
Seismic waves are waves that travel through the Earth due to earthquakes or explosions. There are three main types of seismic waves: P waves, which travel fastest; S waves, which travel slower than P waves; and surface waves, which are the slowest and cause the most damage. Seismographs can detect and measure seismic waves, recording the ground shaking on paper to indicate the strength of the waves.
Detailed study of Seismic Waves [Research]
Seismic waves originate from the breaking of rocks during earthquakes. There are different types of seismic waves including P-waves, S-waves, and surface waves. Seismology is the study of seismic waves and earthquakes, which has been practiced for around 150 years. Seismic waves can be used to determine the location and depth of the earthquake focus, and to measure the size of earthquakes using scales like the Modified Mercalli scale and Richter scale. Earthquakes caused by seismic waves can damage buildings and infrastructure, cause injuries and loss of life, trigger events like liquefaction and landslides, and in some cases generate destructive tsunamis.
Seismic waves.
This document discusses seismic waves and different types of seismic waves:
- Seismic waves are vibrations that travel through the Earth carrying energy from earthquakes. There are two main types - body waves and surface waves.
- Body waves include P-waves and S-waves. P-waves are fastest and cause a push/pull motion. S-waves are slower and cause side-to-side motion. They travel through the Earth's interior.
- Surface waves include Rayleigh and Love waves. Rayleigh waves cause up/down and side-to-side motions along the surface. Love waves cause only horizontal motions. They are constrained to the Earth's surface.
- Surface waves are responsible
1. Earthquake and Faults
Convection currents in the earth's mantle cause the movement of tectonic plates. Faults form at the boundaries of these plates where the rocks are weak. When stress builds up along fault lines from the movement of plates, it causes the faults to slip suddenly and generate earthquakes. There are three main types of faults - normal, reverse, and strike-slip - which move in different ways due to tensional, compressional, or shear stresses. Active faults have generated earthquakes within the last 10,000 years and may continue to do so, while inactive faults have not produced quakes recently but could still be capable of generating future seismic activity.

Earthquakes and faults
An earthquake is caused by the sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Faults in the Earth's surface develop from movement or displacement of rock and are zones of weakness where earthquakes can occur. There are three main types of faults - strike-slip, normal, and reverse - which are defined by the movement of the rock on either side. Seismographs use a pendulum that remains fixed while the ground moves beneath it to record the intensity and duration of seismic waves, including primary P waves, secondary S waves, and surface L waves, generated by earthquakes.
Seismic waves 6th
Seismic waves are vibrations that travel through the Earth caused by earthquakes. There are three main types of seismic waves: primary (P-) waves, secondary (S-) waves, and surface waves. P-waves are the fastest waves and can travel through solid and liquid materials. S-waves are slower and only travel through solids. Surface waves are the slowest and only travel along the Earth's surface. These seismic waves transmit the energy and effects of earthquakes through the Earth.
Earthquake

It describes seismology as the science dealing with studying earthquakes. Key terms are defined, such as the focus or hypocenter being the point of origin below the surface, and the epicenter being the point above the focus. Different types of seismic waves - P, S, and L waves - are described. Earthquakes are classified based on depth, magnitude using the Richter scale, and causes. Causes include tectonic plate movements and volcanic eruptions. Effects are shaking, landslides, fires, tsunamis, and impact on humans, rivers and seas. Design of earthquake

Earthquakes
Earthquakes occur when rocks under stress accumulate strain energy and break, releasing seismic waves. There are two types of seismic waves: body waves that travel through the interior of the Earth, and surface waves that travel along the surface. Seismographs record these waves and the analysis of timing between P and S waves allows the distance to the earthquake to be determined. Triangulating data from multiple seismograph stations locates the earthquake epicenter. The magnitude of an earthquake is measured on the logarithmic Richter Scale based on seismic wave amplitude. Earthquakes can cause shaking, ground displacement, tsunamis, and fires. While prediction remains difficult, monitoring subsurface activity may provide future warning of earthquakes.
Earthquakes
Earthquakes occur when tectonic forces cause rocks underground to break, releasing energy in the form of seismic waves. The focus is the point where the rocks break, and the epicenter is the point directly above on the surface. There are three main types of seismic waves - P waves, which move particles back and forth; S waves, which move particles at right angles; and surface L waves, which cause the most damage. We measure the location and magnitude of earthquakes using seismographs to detect and measure the amplitude of the different wave types.

earth movements Endogenic forces
This document summarizes different types of earth movements caused by endogenic forces. It describes sudden forces and diastrophic or slow forces, which include epeirogenic and orogenic movements. Epeirogenic forces cause upward or downward continental movements, while orogenic forces are horizontal and cause mountain building through compression or tension. Various types of geological structures like folds, faults, and warping result from these horizontal compressional and tensional forces. Folds can be symmetrical, asymmetrical, monoclinal, isoclinal, recumbent, overturned, or plunge folds. Faults displace crustal rocks and include normal, reverse, lateral, and step faults.
2.2a earthquakes and volcanoes introduction
The document discusses Earth's interior and plate tectonics, explaining that Earth's interior is composed of layers and plates that move and interact, causing earthquakes and volcanic activity at plate boundaries. Evidence for plate tectonics includes earthquake and volcanic activity at places like convergent and divergent plate boundaries. The movement of tectonic plates is responsible for creating different landforms over long periods of time through processes like mountain building, volcanism, and earthquakes.
Earthquakes
This document discusses earthquakes and their causes, effects, and classification. It defines earthquakes as the sudden movement of rocks below the earth's surface that produces shaking or trembling. Earthquakes are caused by tectonic plate movements and volcanic activity. They produce different types of seismic waves that originate at the focus and spread out from the epicenter. Earthquakes can be classified based on their origin, depth, and location within major belts around the world. The effects of earthquakes include surface deformation, damage to structures, loss of life, and secondary hazards like fires, landslides or tsunamis that impact communities and economies.
01 chapter:Earthquake
The document summarizes key aspects of seismology and plate tectonics. It describes how seismology studies earthquakes and seismic wave propagation to understand Earth's internal structure. It then outlines Earth's major layers - crust, mantle, and core. It introduces the theories of continental drift and plate tectonics to explain the movement of tectonic plates across Earth's surface, driven by convection currents in the mantle. It categorizes the three main types of plate boundaries - divergent boundaries where plates spread apart, convergent boundaries where they collide subduct or collide, and provides examples of each.
Introduction to earthquake
The document provides an overview of earthquakes and seismology. It discusses key topics such as:
- Seismology is the study of earthquakes and seismic waves. Earthquakes are caused by the sudden movement of tectonic plates.
- The movement of tectonic plates is driven by convection currents in the earth's mantle. As plates move against each other, strain builds up at plate boundaries and is released through earthquakes.
- India experiences earthquakes due to its location in a seismically active zone where the Indian plate is moving northward into the Eurasian plate. The country is divided into several seismic zones based on expected earthquake intensities.
Convergent boundaries
Convergent plate boundaries occur where tectonic plates move towards one another. There are three main types:
1) Oceanic-oceanic, where two oceanic plates collide and one subducts under the other, forming ocean trenches.
2) Oceanic-continental, where an oceanic plate subducts under a continental plate, pushing up mountains.
3) Continental-continental, where collision resists subduction and the plates break and fold, forming mountains.
Earthquake and its causes
Earthquake is a tragedy to life and property. Here its possible causes , effects and hazards they cause are discussed.
The Faults from within Earth
This document discusses faults and earthquakes. It describes how faults are fractures in the Earth's crust where earthquakes occur. There are different types of stresses that can cause faults, such as tensional, compressional, and shear stresses. Active faults have generated earthquakes within the last 10,000 years and may continue to do so, while inactive faults are not likely to produce future quakes. When rocks break along a fault, stored elastic energy is released as seismic energy in the form of seismic waves, causing earthquakes. Earthquakes are recorded by modern seismographs that detect seismic waves and produce seismograms. Earthquake preparedness is important, as described in the final section.
Unit 2 - Earthquakes and Volcanoes (2017/2018)
The document discusses how earthquakes and volcanoes form. It explains that earthquakes are caused by a sudden release of energy along fault lines when rocks move. Stress builds up until the rocks fracture and snap back, releasing seismic waves. Volcanoes form at plate boundaries due to tectonic forces pushing magma toward the surface. The document describes different types of volcanic eruptions from quiet lava flows to explosive eruptions, and the various volcanoes like shields, composite cones, and cinder cones they form. It also discusses how scientists study earthquakes and try to predict future volcanic activity.
Faults in the Philippine Setting
This document discusses earthquakes and seismic waves. It begins by defining key terms like mid-ocean ridges and trenches. It then describes how seismographs and seismometers are used to record earthquake waves. There are three main types of seismic waves - P waves, S waves, and surface waves - that provide information about the interior of the Earth. The document later distinguishes between earthquake magnitude and intensity scales and discusses preparations that can be made for earthquakes.
Plate Tectonics Review Answers
1. Plate tectonics describes how the Earth's crust is broken into plates that move relative to each other as magma circulates underneath. Plates can divide, collide, or slide past one another at their boundaries.
2. There are three types of plate boundaries: divergent where plates move apart, convergent where they move together, and transform where they slide past each other horizontally.
3. At convergent boundaries, the plates squeeze rock as they move together or subduct one beneath the other.
Convection in the Mantle
The document discusses how temperature changes within the Earth's layers. It explains that temperature increases toward the core due to greater pressure from overlying material. Point A is warmer than Point C because it is closer to the core. Denser, colder material like at Point C sinks due to higher density, while less dense, warmer material rises up through the mantle and hits the lithosphere. This interaction between tectonic plates drives geological phenomena at the Earth's surface like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain formation.

Plate Tectonics
This document describes the four main types of plate tectonic boundaries: divergent, convergent, transform, and subduction. At divergent boundaries, plates move apart from each other, creating mid-ocean ridges and rift valleys on land. At convergent boundaries, plates move toward each other, resulting in mountain building or one plate subducting under the other. Transform boundaries involve plates sliding horizontally past one another, forming strike-slip faults. Subduction occurs when one oceanic plate sinks beneath another plate into the mantle.
Review: Continental Drift - Convection - SFS (NB p.70)
The document discusses evidence that supports the theory of continental drift, including the matching shapes of continents, matching fossil records, evidence of past climate changes, and matching rock formations found on separate continents. It also describes how convection currents in the mantle transfer heat from the core to the crust, causing the movement of tectonic plates at mid-ocean ridges where new ocean crust is formed through sea-floor spreading.
SONAR and Sea-Floor Spreading
Scientists used sound waves (echo sounding) to map the ocean floor and discovered underwater mountain ranges, volcanoes, and valleys. This helped support the idea of continental drift. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge was found to be the largest undersea mountain range. Harry Hess proposed the theory of sea floor spreading to explain how new crust forms as the lithospheric plates move apart at mid-ocean ridges due to convection currents in the mantle.
Evidence of Sea-Floor Spreading
Rock samples near mid-ocean ridges provided evidence for sea floor spreading. The youngest rocks were found near the ridges, with older rocks located farther away, showing that new crust was being created at the ridges over time. Additional evidence came from magnetic striping patterns in the rocks, which recorded changes in Earth's magnetic field during the formation of new ocean crust along the ridges. Hydrothermal vents at the ridges also indicated that magma chambers must be close to the surface in order to heat the water emerging from the vents.

It also includes diagrams showing the relative sizes of objects from the classroom to the solar system using powers of 10. The document aims to help students understand how small their immediate surroundings are in comparison to the vastness of the universe.
Continental Drift
1) Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, which suggested that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea before drifting apart over millions of years.
2) To support his theory, Wegener presented four pieces of evidence: the matching shapes of continental edges, identical fossil distributions, matching rock formations, and evidence of past climate zones that no longer align with the continents' current locations.
3) Despite this evidence, Wegener's contemporaries rejected his theory because he could not explain the mechanism that caused the continents to move. Acceptance of the theory required understanding how and why continental drift occurred.
Minerals - Identifying Minerals
Minerals can be identified through various physical properties including color, streak, hardness, luster, cleavage, fracture, specific gravity, magnetism, acid testing, smell, taste, double refraction, and fluorescence. Some key properties include hardness measured on Mohs scale, metallic or non-metallic luster, whether the mineral breaks along smooth planes of cleavage or irregularly fractures, and comparing the mineral's weight to an equal volume of water to determine specific gravity. Identifying the combination of physical characteristics can help determine what mineral one has.
Minerals - How they form?
Minerals form through crystallization as elements in magma or dissolved in water solutions solidify into crystals. Magma crystallization produces minerals through slow cooling underground or rapid cooling when lava reaches the surface. Slowly cooled underground magma results in larger mineral crystals, while rapidly cooled lava produces smaller crystals. Water solutions deposit minerals as crystals through evaporation, such as salt precipitating from seawater.
Minerals - What are they?
Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic solids with a definite crystalline structure and chemical composition. They are made up of elements and compounds that combine in different ways to form various minerals. Minerals then combine to form rocks. There are over 4000 known mineral species on Earth that each have unique physical and chemical properties determined by their composition and crystalline structure.
Hurricane information
Hurricanes are intense rotating storms that form over tropical oceans. They are known as tropical cyclones and are classified based on wind speed as either a tropical depression, tropical storm, or hurricane. Hurricanes gain their strength from warm ocean waters which provide heat and moisture, with wind speeds caused to rotate by the Coriolis effect of the Earth's rotation. Hurricane damage primarily results from strong winds, heavy rainfall and storm surge which can flood coastal areas.
Learning From Light
The document discusses how astronomers can learn about stars by analyzing the light they emit. Key points include:
- Parallax is used to measure the distance to nearby stars by observing how their positions shift relative to background stars over the year as Earth orbits the sun. Closer stars have larger parallax shifts.
- Absolute magnitude indicates a star's intrinsic brightness, while apparent magnitude depends on both brightness and distance from Earth. Brighter or larger stars have smaller magnitudes.
- Spectroscopy breaks light into a spectrum that reveals the chemical composition of a star by dark absorption lines that different elements produce. Temperature can also be inferred from spectrum.
- The inverse square law states that a star's apparent brightness reduces with the square of
Nuclear Fusion and E-M Light
The document discusses key properties and processes of the Sun. It begins by explaining that the Sun is actually a star at the center of our solar system, composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. It then describes the Sun's internal structure, with nuclear fusion occurring in its core, producing immense heat and light. This nuclear fusion process involves combining hydrogen atoms to form helium, releasing energy. The Sun emits electromagnetic radiation across the spectrum as a result of these nuclear fusion reactions in its core.
Earth Interior - Chemical and Mechanical Models
Convection currents in Earth's mantle driven by heat from the core cause the movement of tectonic plates. Denser, cooler material sinks and less dense, warmer material rises in a convection cycle. Earth is composed of layers with increasing density, temperature, and pressure towards the core. The crust and rigid upper mantle form tectonic plates that move due to convection in the soft asthenosphere below.
Branches of Earth Science
The document discusses different fields of Earth science. Geology is the study of the solid Earth and the forces that have shaped it over time. Oceanography studies Earth's oceans, their chemistry, and life forms. Meteorology examines Earth's atmosphere and weather. Astronomy observes celestial objects like stars and galaxies beyond Earth. Environmental science analyzes Earth's environments and resources, and how human activities impact them.
Doppler Effect - Red Shift
The document discusses the Doppler effect and how it provides evidence for the Big Bang theory. It explains that the Doppler effect is when the frequency of a wave changes depending on whether the source of the wave is moving towards or away from an observer. It then asks what would happen to sound waves in front of and behind a moving object compared to a stationary object. Finally, it notes that the Doppler effect can cause absorption lines in spectra to shift towards the red or blue side when observing celestial objects, providing evidence that the universe is expanding.
Earth's Interior
Geologists use two main types of evidence to study Earth's interior: direct evidence from rock samples and indirect evidence from seismic waves. Rock samples provide clues about conditions deep inside Earth, but can only be obtained from certain depths. Seismic waves from earthquakes reveal more about Earth's deep structure by studying how their speeds and paths change as they pass through different layers of the crust, mantle, and core. The layers vary in size, composition, temperature, and pressure, resembling a cracked hardboiled egg.
Earth as a System
The document discusses several key concepts about Earth's systems:
1. Earth is made up of several interacting systems - the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere - that exchange matter and energy.
2. The geosphere includes the solid layers that make up Earth's interior and crust.
3. The hydrosphere contains all of Earth's water and cycles through the other systems.
4. Matter and energy continuously move between these systems, transforming from one form to another.

__deformation_of_the_crust.ppt
The document discusses how mountains are formed through crustal deformation processes. It describes how isostatic adjustments occur as the crust seeks equilibrium between downward pressure from overlying rock and upward pressure from the mantle. When forces exceed rocks' ability to deform through folding, faults form through brittle failure. There are four main types of faults. Mountains are often formed at plate boundaries through collision and compression of crust. The main types are folded mountains, fault-block mountains, volcanic mountains, and dome mountains, each involving different deformation mechanisms.
Chapter 1 earths surface
The document discusses the movement and deformation of Earth's crust. It describes the two types of crust - continental and oceanic - and how they undergo stress that causes rocks to break, tilt, and fold. There are three basic types of deformation: compression squeezes rocks closer together, tension stretches rocks out, and shearing causes rocks to twist or tear apart. Faults form when rocks move along breaks or cracks, and can cause earthquakes. Folding also bends and shapes the crust. These processes of deformation continually change Earth's surface features over long periods of time.

earthquake and faults for grade eigth studentsmy presentation science 8.ppt
Stress builds in the Earth's crust over millions of years due to forces that cause tension, compression, and shearing of rock. When the stress exceeds the strength of the rock, it breaks along faults causing seismic waves that trigger earthquakes. The focus is where the rock breaks underground, while the epicenter is where seismic waves reach the surface above the focus. Seismic waves cause damage depending on soil conditions and can trigger aftershocks and tsunamis.
Ch19 building the earths surface
This document discusses various geological processes that shape Earth's surface over long periods of time. It describes how stress and strain lead to folding and faulting in the crust. It also explains how volcanic activity, earthquakes, and plate tectonics result in mountain building and other surface features. Key points include how the principle of uniformity helps us understand slow, gradual changes versus sudden catastrophic events, and how different rock types respond to stress depending on temperature, pressure, and time.
Concept of rock deformation and tectonics( Khan A.A)
This document discusses concepts of rock deformation and tectonic plate movement. It describes how plate tectonics involves the movement and deformation of Earth's crust due to convection currents in the mantle. There are three types of plate boundaries - divergent, convergent, and transform - which experience different tectonic forces like compression, tension, and shearing that generate structures through deformation. Deformation can be elastic, plastic, or brittle, forming primary structures during rock formation or secondary structures in pre-existing rocks.
Modes of deformation of rocks presentation
Rocks can deform in two main ways: brittle deformation and ductile deformation. Brittle deformation occurs near the surface where pressures and temperatures are low, causing rocks to fracture. Ductile deformation occurs at depth, where high pressures and temperatures cause permanent shape changes without fracturing. The type of deformation depends on factors like pressure, temperature, strain rate, and rock composition. Hard rocks under low pressure and temperature typically undergo brittle deformation, while soft rocks at depth experience ductile deformation.
Structural Geology Folds
Structural geology is the study of rock structures and deformations within the Earth's crust. There are several types of rock structures that provide evidence of past deformation, including folds, faults, joints, and foliations. Folds occur when rock layers are bent, and there are different types such as anticlines, synclines, tight folds, overfolds, recumbent folds, and nappe folds. Understanding rock structures provides insight into the stress fields and tectonic processes that shaped the geological past.
Mountain buildings-Geomorhology Chapter
Mountain building occurs through various geological processes including volcanic activity, tectonic activity like folding and faulting of rocks. The key factors that influence rock deformation are temperature, pressure, rock type, and time. Different types of stresses like compression, tension, and shear can cause rocks to deform through folding or fracturing. Major mountain ranges form at convergent plate boundaries through compression of colliding plates.
unit iii ppt.pptx
This document discusses elements of seismology and earthquake engineering. It covers topics such as causes of earthquakes including plate tectonic theory, elastic rebound theory, types of seismic waves, measurement of earthquakes through seismographs, magnitude and intensity scales, and characteristics of strong ground motion. Key concepts are the different types of plate boundaries that can cause earthquakes, as well as the different types of seismic waves like P, S, love, and rayleigh waves that radiate from earthquake sources.
Earthquake waves and types of faults caused by earthquake
unstable movement of ground is known as earthquake . Earthquake is transferred by waves known as Primary waves and secondary waves.
Effect of earthquake includes faults. There are three types of faults caused by earthquake .
Folding and faulting
The document discusses endogenetic forces that cause folding and faulting within the Earth's crust. It describes several types of folds that occur due to compression, such as anticlines where rock layers bend upwards and synclines where they bend downwards. It also details different fault types like normal faults where rocks move apart and reverse faults where they move together. In total, the document outlines seven fold types and five fault types that shape the Earth's surface over millions of years through horizontal and vertical crustal movements.
Earthqaukes
An earthquake is caused by the sudden movement of tectonic plates deep below the earth's surface. Tectonic plates are constantly slowly moving and putting pressure on each other. When the pressure exceeds the strength of the rocks, it causes the plates to suddenly slip past each other or collide, releasing energy in the form of seismic waves. Fault lines mark the boundaries between tectonic plates and are where most earthquakes occur. The theory of plate tectonics explains how the movement and interaction of these massive plates results in earthquakes and volcanic activity around the world.
Plate Tectonics2.ppt
The document discusses the theory of plate tectonics, including what plates are, how they move, and the three types of plate boundaries. The three types of boundaries are divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where plates move towards each other; and transform boundaries, where plates move past each other laterally. Each boundary type results in different geologic features and events due to the stresses caused by the ways plates are pulled, pushed, or sheared at their edges.

Composing The Final Proposal
This document provides instructions for interns to complete and submit their final malaria treatment proposal. It guides them through writing an introduction paragraph by copying relevant information from their project summary. It then instructs them to state their design claim by describing the key aspects of the proposed treatment design. For the conclusion, interns are told to summarize why their design should be chosen, describe their design priorities and the trade-offs between criteria, and convince the reader their design is optimal despite the trade-offs. The document also reviews revising the entire proposal, including the three design decision paragraphs, before submitting.
Writing Design Decisions
1. Interns were instructed to review feedback from the project director on their outline and background research and discuss how to strengthen their design decision paragraphs with colleagues.
2. They were then directed to write the three design decision paragraphs for their proposal, using their outline, feedback, and other resources as guides.
3. Interns were reminded to save their work in progress but not submit, as they will continue working on the introduction and conclusion sections during their next workday. They should review tasks and determine if any unfinished work needs completion after hours.
Considering Design Decisions
The document discusses strategies for writing a strong proposal to address the problem of drug-resistant malaria, including focusing on one section of the proposal at a time, using an outline to organize evidence supporting design claims, and reviewing examples to understand how different parts fit together. Interns are asked to gather evidence by outlining their design decisions for three criteria related to minimizing drug resistance, side effects, and cost in order to receive feedback on their evidence and arguments.
Choosing An Optimal Design
This document outlines steps for interns to review design feedback, interpret how well their design addressed different criteria, and plan iterative testing to improve their design. Interns receive feedback letters evaluating their designs on criteria like minimizing drug resistance, reducing side effects, and lowering treatment costs. They annotate the letters and record notes in a feedback summary table, color-coding results as strongly, moderately, or weakly addressing each criterion. Discussing trade-offs between criteria helps interns prioritize areas for improvement and set targets for their redesign strategies, as it is difficult for one design to strongly address all criteria equally. The goal is to identify an optimal design through iterative testing and choice of priority among criteria.
Designing Malaria Treatments
Engineers at Futura are developing malaria treatments using an iterative design process and simulation tool called MalariaMed. Students practiced this process by running multiple iterative tests of simulated malaria treatment designs, recording the results, and analyzing the data to identify the strongest design. The best design would minimize drug resistance and side effects while keeping costs low, without increasing the malaria parasite population. After analyzing all their results, students selected one design to submit to their project director for feedback on how to further improve their treatment design.
Exploring Antimalarial Drugs
The document discusses exploring antimalarial drugs to treat malaria. It describes running tests in MalariaMed to investigate how changing the drug type, dose size, and number of treatment days affects various criteria like the total parasite population, drug resistance, patient side effects, and total cost. The tests show that using a larger dose or more days of treatment generally reduces the parasite population more but increases drug resistance faster. In contrast, a smaller dose or fewer days reduces side effects and cost but risks allowing more parasites to survive and the population increasing. Using multiple drugs sequentially is suggested as a way to minimize drug resistance.
Understanding Drug Resistance
Using a single drug treatment for malaria results in a shift in the parasite population toward increased resistance to that drug over time. Testing different single-drug treatments in the MalariaMed model showed that resistance developed quickly when only one drug was used. Combining multiple antimalarial drugs is preferable to delay the development of resistance compared to reliance on a single drug.
Writing A Scientific Argument
This document provides guidance to students on developing a scientific argument to explain why stickleback populations changed over 13 generations. It instructs students to use a Reasoning Tool template to organize their claim, evidence, and reasoning. Students are told to annotate their Reasoning Tool by circling their strongest evidence, crossing out unrelated evidence, and connecting related evidence with arrows. They then write an argument referring back to the Reasoning Tool and using suggested sentence starters to clearly articulate their reasoning. For homework, students finalize and revise their written arguments.
Engaging In A Science Seminar
The document describes a classroom lesson where students will participate in a Science Seminar discussion to answer the question "What caused the stickleback population to have less armor and become faster?". The students will be split into two groups - one to lead the discussion in the inner semicircle and one to listen and take notes in the outer semicircle, and they will switch roles halfway through. The goal is for the students to use the evidence cards and their knowledge to build the best explanation for why the environmental change caused the stickleback population to change.
Examining Evidence About Sticklebacks
This document describes a science seminar about stickleback fish. It includes sections where students annotate passages about sticklebacks, are introduced to how the population has changed over generations from having more armor plates to fewer, and examine evidence cards about stickleback traits, environment, and lifespan. The goal is for students to analyze the evidence and determine which of two claims is best supported about what caused the changes in the stickleback population.
Wrapping Up The Newt Mystery
Mutations can introduce new traits into a population. A mutated trait will become more common over generations if it provides an adaptive advantage in the environment. According to the document, a mutation introduced a trait for high poison levels in newts 50 generations ago. When snakes were introduced to the environment 40 generations ago, the high poison levels provided an adaptive advantage by preventing snakes from eating the newts. As a result, the highly poisonous trait became the most common trait in the newt population over many generations.
Mutations In a Population
This document discusses mutations in populations and how traits created by mutations may become more or less common over generations. It describes an activity using a simulation where students will investigate whether mutations can introduce non-adaptive fur traits into an ostrich population in a cold environment. The simulation allows students to observe the population over 50 generations with mutations turned on and analyze changes in fur traits, to see if low-fur traits introduced by mutation become more or less common. Key points emphasized are that mutations occur randomly, can create adaptive, non-adaptive or neutral traits, and adaptive traits will become more common while non-adaptive traits will become less common over time.
Introduction to Mutations
This document describes a lesson about how new traits can emerge in populations through mutations. Students will read an article on mutations and discuss how mutations could explain a new poison level trait appearing in newt populations over time. They will then use a simulation to explore how mutations can introduce variation that allows a population to adapt when the environment changes. By running the simulation with and without mutations turned on, students can compare the outcome for a population of ostrilopes in a cooling environment and see the impact of mutations on the population's ability to survive.
Reviewing Key Ideas About Natural Selection
The document discusses natural selection and reproduction through a lesson on newts. It explains that traits are passed down from parents to offspring, and that individuals with adaptive traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on those traits. The lesson has students complete different activities to understand how adaptive traits like high poison levels in newts became more common in a population over time through this process. It concludes with a self-assessment for students to reflect on their learning.
The Deadly Dare
The document discusses a chapter about natural selection and reproduction. It includes sections about warming up and reading activities for students, including reading an article called "The Deadly Dare" about how poison helps rough-skinned newts survive and how it became more common over generations through natural selection. The chapter asks how some traits become more common over many generations while others become less common.
Reasoning About The Newt Mystery
The document describes students rereading an article on how a newt population evolved to have higher levels of poison over generations. It has the students use evidence from histograms and the article to complete a reasoning tool connecting the evidence to a claim about why the trait for increased poison became more common. The reasoning tool is used to help the students write a scientific argument explaining their claim to share with others.
Survival and Reproduction
The document discusses natural selection and how traits become more or less common over generations within populations. It describes an investigation using a simulation of ostrilopes with different color traits. Data was collected on how many offspring each color trait produced. The data showed that ostrilopes with the yellow color 7 trait reproduced more on average and became more common in the population over time, while ostrilopes with traits like blue 1 and yellow 10 that did not provide camouflage reproduced less and became less common. This occurred because traits that helped ostrilopes survive longer, like yellow 7, allowed them to reproduce more and pass on their genes more frequently.
Reproduction and Traits
The document describes a simulation activity where students use a natural selection simulation to gather evidence about how traits are passed from parents to offspring during reproduction. The simulation shows that while offspring generally inherit traits from their parents, over multiple generations of reproduction the frequency of traits in a population can change as some traits become more or less common than others. The activity provides evidence to refute the claim that reproduction always produces offspring with adaptive traits, since in the simulation non-adaptive traits were still passed down from parents to offspring.
Explaining Changes in Trait Distribution
The document summarizes a lesson on explaining changes in a population of rough-skinned newts over time based on evidence. It discusses:
1) Having students review evidence that the newt population changed, with more highly poisonous individuals now than 50 generations ago.
2) Connecting this to the fact that snakes became part of the newts' environment between the first and second data samples.
3) Concluding that snakes likely caused high poison levels to become an adaptive trait, leading to more poisonous newts over time through natural selection.
Adaptive Traits
This document describes an investigation of how traits change over time in different environments using a simulation of ostrilopes. Students observe an ostrilope population in two environments - one with a predator where being yellow provides camouflage, and one without a predator. In the environment with a predator, the population shifts to being entirely yellow over time as yellow ostrilopes are more likely to survive. In the environment without a predator, the trait distribution changes little. This provides evidence that yellow color is only adaptive in an environment where it provides camouflage from predators. The document then discusses using a modeling tool to predict how traits in a thornpalm population might change over time in response to environmental factors like

What are Earthquakes I
- 2. Earthquakes and Plate Boundaries • Seismic Eruption Simulation
- 4. Earthquakes • An earthquake is the shaking and trembling that results from movement of rock beneath Earth’s surface. • Earthquakes produce vibrations when rock snaps and breaks. • Plate movement produces stress in Earth’s crust. • This stress builds up until the rock breaks. Objects can only withstand so much force: - A stick will snap when bent too far. - A rubber band will break if pulled too tight. • An elastic limit is the maximum force an object can withstand before breaking.
- 5. Earthquakes 1. Rocks have an elastic limit. 2. Rocks will actually bend until they reach their elastic limit. 3. When rocks bend too far, they will then break. 4. The break or crack in the rock of Earth’s crust is called a fault. PLACE ELASTIC REBOUND ANIMATION HERE!
- 6. How do Earthquakes form? Earthquakes occur when rocks move past each other along a fault. Faults form when Earth’s plates move and place stress on one another, eventually forcing the crust to snap.
- 7. How do Earthquakes form? • Rocks have jagged edges. • The jagged edges along a fault get stuck. • Stress builds up in the stuck rock as the plates try to move. • The rocks bend until they reach their elastic limit and break. • The rocks snap back to their original position (elastic rebound). • The breaking of the rock creates an earthquake.
- 8. Stress - Faults - Boundaries
- 9. Foot Wall vs. Hanging Wall Foot Wall: - The block of rock below the fault line. - Imagine being able to walk on it as if it were the floor below you. Hanging Wall: - The block of rock above the fault line. - Imagine being able to hang something from it as if it were a ceiling.
- 10. Normal Faults • Type of Force: Tension • Caused by forces of tension (stretching). • Tension forces pull rock apart. • Tension causes the hanging wall to move down.
- 11. Three Major Types of Faults
- 12. Reverse Faults • Type of Force: Compression • Caused by forces of compression (pushing) • Compression forces squeeze rock together. • Compression causes the hanging wall to move up.
- 13. Three Major Types of Faults
- 14. Strike/Slip Fault • Type of Force: Shearing • Caused by forces of shearing (sliding). • Shearing forces move rock in opposite directions. • The movement is only in a horizontal direction.
