• 3/31 - Put your name in your new Dynamic Earth book in three places. Look through unit 4 and write down major topics covered.

• 4/1 - What patterns do you see when earthquakes are plotted over a long period of time?

• 4/2 - What happen in Iquique, Chile yesterday? Magnitude? Depth? Type of fault? What caused it? What were the effects of elastic rebound? Could it have been predicted?

• 4/3 - Make a table showing how the three kinds of stress, Tectonic Plate Boundaries and Faults are related.

• 4/7 - Make a Venn diagram comparing the Focus, Fault, and Epicenter. Why is it unlikely that an earthquake's epicenter would fall on a fault line?

• 4/8 - How can GPS be used to help predict earthquakes at convergent boundaries?

• 4/10 - What kind of materials can P and S waves go through? How could this tell us about the inside of the Earth?

• 4/11 - What can you do to prepare for an earthquake? What would you do if an Earthquake happened while you were in class?
