Discovering
Plate
Boundaries
is
based
on
5
world
maps
containing
earthquake,
volcano,
topography,
satellite
gravity,
and
seafloor
age
data.
The
novel
aspect
of
the
exercise
is
the
"jigsaw"
manner
in
which
student
groups
access
the
maps
and
use
them
to
discover,
classify,
and
describe
plate
boundary
types.
The
exercise
is
based
only
on
observation
and
description,
which
makes
it
useful
at
a
wide
variety

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
in

earthquake
of
2001,
the
Washington

developed
two
