 * 2 || [|USGS] || The United States Geological Survey shares geology information with the whole world. The page on earthquakes is a great place to start. ||
 * 3 || [|PBS] || The Public Broadcasting Service in the United States creates educational programs, such as the one on earthquakes, which can help you extend the knowledge you receive from your school textbook. ||
 * 4 || [|The Why Files] || The University of Wisconsin has created this site to introduce the basic concepts of geology. This site includes most of the material in your textbook. It may also have some interesting links to follow. ||

The following areas need to be discussed. Each group will pick one area and one earthquake and then produce a report. 1. The movement of the earth's crust must be described. Which plates moved? How deep was the focus (hypocenter) ? How many after shocks were there? 2. The human picture must be described. How many lives were lost? How many people were injured? How many survivors were found? What did the country learn by responding to the disaster? 3. The effect on infrastructure must be decribed. What type of damage to houses occurred? How prepared was the country for a major earthquake? What types of building codes were established, and what improvements can be made to these codes?
