Quake Damage Estimates

Start an Appleworks document and past these questions in it.

1. Go here and find San Leandro on the Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Map. What is the predicted "g" acceleration for SL?

2. Now go here and copy the "Annual Economic Loss Due To Building Damage by County" map to your document. What color is Los Angeles county and what color is Alameda county?

3. Go down the page and find out how much is estimated to be lost in building damage if the San Francisco Quake of 1906 repeats. (remember that the number listed is in Millions of dollars)

4. If a 6.7 quake happens on the Hayward fault (repeat of the 1868 quake) happens, what is the estimated damage?

5. Finally, go here and find the largest recent quake in the world (largest square) and find what magnitude it was and where it was. Click on maps and download the Google Earth KML. Take a picture of the place.

Save this as your name and quake damage and put it in the quake damage folder on the server.
