You are vacationing in Tokyo, Japan when you feel the ground begin to move. At first you think you are imagining it, then it gets stronger, you can see the buildings swaying and people running. Its been 30 seconds and the earthquake is still raging. You start to notice the ground rolling beneath you and run into a clearing, far from buildings and large trees. You watch as debris falls and the ground forms small cracks and try to keep your balance. The roads begin to buckle and some buildings crumble, until finally the movement stops and silence falls. You gaze upon the damage, stunned by what just happened.

The distances you have found are from the epicenter to the seismograph location, or the radius of the circle around each city. In order to map your data, you need the diameter of the circle around each city.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Convergent Subduction		Plates moving away from each other, forming a spreading center ridge.
Transform		Where one plate slides under the other, forming a trench and volcanic mountain ranges.
Divergent		Where the plates smash into each other and rise up into a mountain range.
Convergent Collision		Two plates sliding against each other, either horizontally or vertically, forming large fault lines.

Looking at this map of world wide earthquakes and volcanoes, What do you notice? What do the lines of volcanoes and Earthquakes map out?

Find Japan on this map, What does the map tell you about this location in relation to earthquakes and volcanoes?

How can you use seismograph data to learn more about an earthquake (other than force and duration)?

Map your data and mark the epicenter location.

Looking at this map of world wide earthquakes and volcanoes, What do you notice? What do the lines of volcanoes and Earthquakes map out?

In the diagram of the Earth's Interior, which part drives the movement of the plates?

What process occurs within the Earth that causes the plates to move?

What is a Seismograph?

How can you use seismograph data to learn more about an earthquake (other than force and duration)?

In the image above, which wave is the P-Wave?

What do P-Wave and S-Wave stand for?

Map your data and mark the epicenter location.

Look at the map. What 2 plates are interacting at the location of the epicenter?

Make sure to read the plate labels carefully.

Use the Key on the map to identify the type of plate boundary the epicenter is on.

What type of movement is happening on this boundary?

What type of geologic feature would you expect on this boundary?

An Oceanic Plate is subducting on it's eastern side, what is the most likely boundary type on the western side of the plate?

Match the type of boundary with the correct plate movement.
