Rock your world with these project ideas

Can you find out more information about earthquake waves and seismographs? Use words and diagrams to explain what you find.
Research the San Andreas Fault and find its location, size, and importance for earthquakes. Was the 1906 San Francisco earthquake related to the San Andreas Fault? What were some features of the Californian quake that made it into the history books?
Refer to a geological map to discover on what rocks/soil type your house/school/workplace is built. How might this affect the building's change of withstanding an earthquake? Talk to your teacher about how you would like to present your findings to the class. Make sure your information includes the following:

the location of earthquake (you can use maps to show this)
the intensity and damage caused
some survival stories
some interesting facts, and
the lessons learned and some of the steps that could be taken for the future (how did/could the country or city prepare better for another similar event?).

Research the earthquake in Armenia, 1988, or the earthquake in Kobe, Japan, 1995.
