  1. What do you think has happened here?

  2. WALT Recognise and sequence the features of an earthquake. Interpret seismographs to explain the effects of an earthquake. WILF Collaboration and Distilling. Earthquake!

  3. Living Seismographs

  4. Los Angeles Earthquake • On January 17, 1994, the costliest earthquake in the history of the United States struck the Los Angeles region, killing 57 people, leaving 20,000 homeless, and causing more than $20 billion in damage to homes, public buildings, freeways, and bridges. • This magnitude 6.7 quake occurred 10 miles beneath the town of Northridge on a previously unknown ramp-like ("thrust") fault not visible at the Earth's surface. Many faults, including such hidden or "blind" faults, in the Los Angeles region are capable of producing even stronger earthquakes.

  5. Living Seismograph 1) Draw arrows from the real life scenarios to the seismograph in the right place. Birds suddenly fly up into the sky

  6. Living Seismograph • Add the real life scenarios to the seismograph • For three of these, explain why you have put them at that point on the seismograph. Try to include lots of key words, facts and examples. Birds suddenly fly up into the sky

  7. Living Seismograph • Add the real life scenarios to the seismograph • For three of these, explain why you have put them at that point on the seismograph. Try to include lots of key words, facts and examples. Birds suddenly fly up into the sky Look at the examples of other students’ work. What level would you give them? How can you improve your work?

  8. Create your own Living Seismograph for a LEDC • The effects of an earthquake may be very different in a LEDC. • Using the A3 seismograph, create your own story for a LEDC during an earthquake. • Make sure you choose a country which does experience earthquakes! Look back at your maps.
