Historical Earthquake Research

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.
