This
earthquake
unit
was
designed
to
be
used
with
a
college
course
in
physical
geography.
From
this
module,
students
learn
the
location
of
areas
in
the
United
States
with
the
greatest
potential
for
earthquake
shaking
and
the
hazards
presented
by
earthquakes.
They
also
learn
how
geological
conditions
and
building
construction
affect
the
amount
of
destruction
during
an
earthquake.

as
any
push
or
pull
that
causes
a
change
in
motion,
like
eruptions,
quakes,
or
floods.
There

categories
of
earthforces
covered
on
this
Franklin
Institute
Science
Museum
website:
forces
beneath
the
Earth's
surface
in
the
mantle
and
core,
forces
on
the
crust
of
the
Earth
involving
plate
tectonics,

Students
investigate
the
importance
of
water
historically
and
in
their
daily
lives
and
examine
the
nature
of
water
as
a
limited
resource.
Working
in
groups,
they
will
list
the
various
uses
of
water,
discuss
why
water
is
a
limited
resource,
research
technological
systems
that
are
intended
to
use
water
as
productively
as
possible,
and
create
"How
It
Works"
posters
for
presentation
to
