uses
interactive
diagrams
of
ground
shaking
from
the
1906
San
Francisco
Earthquake
to
teach
students
about
the
mechanics
involved
in
the
rupture
of
a
fault
and
the
propagation
of
seismic
waves
as
an
earthquake
progresses.
They
will
understand
that
earthquakes
begin
at
a
point;
that
a
long
section
of
a
fault
can
rupture
during
an
earthquake;
that
the

West,
a
task
taken
over
in
later
years
by
the
United

Geological
Survey
(USGS).
The
discussion
includes
the
early
surveys
of
the
West
(by
King,
Powell,
Hayden,
and
Wheeler)
and
their
relation
to
the
USGS
mission.
There
is
also

This
teacher
packet
uses
Landsat
satellite
imagery
to
teach
about
changes
over
time.
Materials
include
a
lesson
plan
in
which
students
examine
four
sets
of
images
from
different
locations
and
times
to
see
how
the
landscapes
have
changed.
Links
are
provided
to
Multispec
software,
which
is
used
to
process
the
imagery,
to
the
image
sets,
to
