Historic Earthquakes
Read, Read All About This Earthquake!!!
Pamphlet Project on a Historic Quake
Summary of Project:
You are going to construct a pamphlet about an historic earthquake. You will work with your group to collect data, and turn in your own pamphlet. This pamphlet will describe when and where the earthquake took place, the kind of plate tectonics, amount of damage to cities and people, and the kinds of preparation that was done either before or after the earthquake to prevent damage from future quakes.
Name of your Earthquake:
____________________
Project Requirements:
1) Front Page of Pamphlet
a. Title
b. Colored Picture or something creative related to earthquakes
c. Lower right corner: Name, Date, and Period
2) 1st Page—The Facts of the Quake
a. Where the quake took place, labeled picture of country and continent where it is located
b. When it took place
c. Describe the magnitude, depth, and the number of aftershocks from quake
3) 2nd Page—Illustrations and Descriptions
a. Describe and draw a picture of the plate tectonics near the place of the quake
b. Describe & draw the type of fault that the earthquake came from
c. Label and explain a picture of P and S Waves
4) 3rd Page – Destruction, Damage, & Prevention
a. The amount of people who were injured and/or died
b. The amount of money that it took to rebuild the city, village, or land
c. Unique facts about that quake, (ex. warning system, type of buildings destroyed {or not} humanitarian aid from other countries, repair processes)
d. The kind of damage resulting from the quake, example: fire, water or gas lines,
tsunami, liquefaction, mudslides, or sink holes.
5) 4th Page – Where we live
a. Draw and label a picture of the plate tectonics effecting where we live in Washington
b. Describe in words the movement of the plates.
c. Draw & label major fault lines in our area.
d. Explain why it’s easier to predict the location, than time of a quake.
6) Back Page of Pamphlet—Poem, Song, Rap or Short Story
a. Create a poem, song, rap, or short story that relates to the quake
