This
site
is
a
joint
effort
of
NOAA
Research
and
the
College
of
Education
at
the
University
of
South
Alabama.
The
goal
of
the
site
is
to
provide
middle
school
science
students
and
teachers
with
research
and
investigation
experiences
using
on-line
resources.
In
this
unit
students
explore
what
El
Nino
is,
where
it
is
located,
how
it
is
created,
and
weather
changes
that
El
Nino
causes.
Students

This
site
contains
information
about
discoveries
made
after
World
War
II
when
ocean-going
geologists
adapted
sensitive
magnetometers
developed
for
antisubmarine
warfare
for
use
in
seafloor
research.
This
modern
technology
gave
geologists
their
greatest
boost
in
more
than
a
century
of
field
work
and
led
to
the
idea
of
sea
floor
spreading.
This
site
has
animations
showing
sea-floor
spreading
and
a
magnetometer

This
report
describes
how
the
work
of
K.
Wadati,
Charles
F.
Richter,
Harry
O.
Wood,
and
Beno
Gutenberg
resulted
in
a
way
of
rating
earthquakes
in
southern
California
according
to
an
instrumental
analysis
of
the
amount
of
energy
they
released
in
the
form
of
seismic
waves.
This
work
resulted
in
the
first
use
of
the
term
"magnitude"
for
describing
the
amount
of
energy
released
by
an
earthquake,
and

This
report
describes
how
measurements
of
earthquake
magnitude,
as
quantified
by
the
Richter
Scale,
have
gradually
replaced
measurements
of
intensity,
as
characterized
by
the
Modified
Mercalli
scale.
Topics
include
the
advantages
of
the
Richter
Scale,
such
as
open-endedness,
its
purely
instrumental
measure
which
doesn't
require
observers'
reports,
and
its
usefulness
for
measuring
earthquakes
located

This
resource
explores
earthquakes
and
seismic
hazards,
using
the
San
Francisco
area
as
an
example.
Materials
include
histories
of
San
Francisco's
earthquakes,
including
the
1906
'Great
Earthquake'
and
the
1989
Loma
Prieta
quake.
A
section
on
quake
basics
addresses
the
relationship
between
earthquakes
and
plate
tectonics,
fault
movements,
seismic
waves,
and
how
earthquakes
are
measured.
For
educators,
