Virtual
Earthquake
is
an
interactive
web-based
program
designed
to
introduce
the
concepts
of
how
an
earthquake
epicenter
is
located
and
how
the
Richter
magnitude
of
an
earthquake
is
determined.
Virtual
Earthquake
shows
the
recordings
of
an
earthquake's
seismic
waves
detected
by
instruments
far
away
from
the
earthquake.
The
instrument
recording
the
seismic
waves
is
called
a
seismograph
and

NOAA's
Paleoclimatology
Program
is
working
with
scientists
from
around
the
world
to
study
past
climate
in
hopes
of
achieving
a
better
understanding
of
the
Earth's
present
and
future
climate.
This
site
was
developed
to
help
educate,
inform
and
highlight
the
importance
of
paleoclimate
research;
as
well
as
to
show
how
paleoclimate
research
relates
to

This activity teaches students how bathymetric maps (topographic maps of underwater landforms) are made by using sonar. Students use a simulated sonar exercise to map something they cannot see and then see how close they were to the actual shape. They produce a bathymetric map and answer questions about this process.
