We
in
the
United
States
have
almost
come
to
accept
natural
disasters
as
part
of
our
nations
social
fabric.
News
of
property
damage,
economic
and
social
disruption,
and
injuries
follow
earthquakes,
fires,
floods
and
hurricanes.
Surprisingly,
however,
the
total
losses
that
follow
these
natural
disasters
are
not
consistently
calculated.
We

In
this
activity,
students
study
seismograms
from
three
different
seismic
stations
that
recorded
the
magnitude
9.0
Sumatra
earthquake
of
December
26,
2004.
By
comparing
the
arrival
times
of
the
P
and
S
waves
on
each
seismogram,
they
can
determine
the
distance
from
the
epicenter
to
each
station
and
accurately
map
its
location.
Using
this
information,
they
also
calculate
the
position
of
the
quake-generated
