This
lesson
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
earth
shakes
in
all
different
