Today you will study historical earthquakes. For each earthquake, take a Google Earth Picture of the place where the quake was centered, write down it's magnitude, the date it hit, and how many people were killed in the quake, and find a real image of the quake damage.
Put everything in an Appleworks document.
Go here and download the Significant Earthquakes of the World file.
1. Loma Prieta, Santa Clara, Ca (this is also known as the San Francisco Earthquake of 1989 because most of the deaths happened in the SF area as well as the news stories)
2. San Francisco, Ca
3. Hayward, Ca
4. Indonesia
5. korfez, turkey
6. Northridge, Ca
7. Mexico City, Mexico (this was actually 250 miles away in arteaga, mexico, but all the news and images are from destruction in Mexico City)
Name this: name historic earthquakes and put it in the historic earthquakes folder on the server.
San Andreas Fault Research
Put all pictures in an Appleworks document.
1. Go here and download the San Andreas - Carrizo Plain Google Earth file.
2. Double-Click the file to open it in Google Earth and find Wallace Creek. Take a picture with Apple-Shift-4. You may need to turn off layers that are clogging the scene with icons.
3. Find 2 other creeks that are offset due to the fault and take pictures of them. Explain why they are offset.
4. Download the Historic Faults file on the link above and find The Hayward fault and take a picture of where it goes through San Leandro.
5. Tools > Enter Flight Simulator and fly down the San Andreas Fault from San Francisco to LA. The Page UP button increases thrust and the page down button decreases thrust.

Subduction and Hot Spot Volcanoes
California Content Standard:
Students know the explanation for the location and properties of volcanoes that are due to hot spots and the explanation for those that are due to subduction.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Today's lesson is on the differences between volcanoes formed by Subduction and volcanoes formed by Hot Spots.
In a document, do the following:
1. Start by reviewing what subduction is. Write an explanation of what it is and find an image that illustrates it.
2. What kind of Earth structures are found around Subduction Zones?
3. What kinds of volcanoes are found near subduction zones? Composite or Shield volcanoes? Go here to find out.
4. Name some volcanoes formed at subduction zones and find a couple images of these volcanoes
5. Find out what Hot Spots are. Explain what they are and find an image that shows what a hotspot is.
6. Find the names of 3 hot spot volcanoes.
7. What kind of volcano is formed at hot spots?
8. Go to Google Earth and find Hawaii. Is it near a plate boundary? Take a picture of Hawaii and the islands that stretch out. What do these islands in a line all suggest about the Pacific Plate?
Put this document on the server in the Hot Spot folder

Active Volcanoes
Today you will study the currently active volcanoes of the world.
Go here to find a list of volcanoes that are active this week.
Study three active volcanoes by doing the following for each:
1) Explain as well as you can what the volcano is doing right now and find a picture.
2) Find the volcano in Google Earth and take a picture of it. Every volcano has a google earth link on its information page.
3) Open the Realtime Earthquakes file from yesterday's assignment and see if each volcano is near a plate boundary. Use the Tectonic Plate Boundary checkboxes to find out what kind of boundary it is. Take a picture of the plate boundary.
Put this all in an Appleworks document and turn in to the Active Volcanoes folder on the server.

Google Earth
Today we are learning how to use Google Earth. We will be using it for much of our studies of the Earth.
1. Go to Applications > Google Earth and drag the icon to your Dock.
2. Start it up, read the tip, and practice moving around the planet with the navigation tools.
3. Find SLHS using the navigation tools. Some quick tips: Holding down Control lets you fly into an area and holding down Apple lets you tilt it so you can see it from the side.
4. Once you find the school, press Apple-Shift-4 and drag your mouse across the screen to take a picture of it.
5. Now find where you live. You can put the address right into the search box. Apple-shift-4 again to take a picture.
6. Go to the Layers menu and check the box that says Street View. This will bring up pictures that have been taken of your street. Is there a picture near where you live? Look at it and Apple-Shift-4 it.
7. for the next few questions, make sure the Terrain layer is on. Find Mt. Everest and take a picture of it.
8. Turn on the Borders and Labels layer, zoom out, and tell me what two countries have Everest on the border.
9. Now go to The Grand Canyon. Try to get down near the river and take a good picture of the canyon and river.
10. Put all your images into an Appleworks document along with an explanation of what the picture is and put it in the Google Earth folder on the server.
