1 Name: Earthquake Lab! Seismic Waves 1. What do scientists believe the Earth is made of? Period: 2. How do scientists make measurements of inside the Earth? 3. What are the two types of Earthquake waves? (describe) 4. Use the Wave Maker to make different kinds of waves. Describe and draw the waves you make on a separate piece of paper. 5. Take the quiz and check your answers. Earthquake Simulator 6. Make and Earthquake, How big was it? Describe what happens to the ground, building and water. 7. Make second quake different from the first, How big was it? Describe what happens to the ground, building and water. 8. Make Third quake different from the first, How big was it? Describe what happens to the ground, building and water. Become an Earthquake Expert 9. Become an Earthquake Expert! (Warning Very Challenging Lab) Read through and do the lab. If you answer the questions correctly it will tell you. If you don t, redo the lab until your correct. Write Your Findings Here:

2 Guess the Magnitude 10. You pick the Length, depth and slip of your earthquake. Guess what you think the 11. Now change your Length, depth and slip of your earthquake. Guess what you think the 12. Now change your Length, depth and slip of your earthquake. Guess what you think the Danger of Volcanoes 13. Why can you say that volcanoes are god and bad? 14. What causes volcanoes to erupt? 15. Where do you find most Volcanoes? 16. Describe and Draw how volcanoes grow. 17. Describe and draw the Mt. St. Helens Eruption. 18. List and describe all the Hazards to people that come from an Eruption.
