Your Learning Goal:Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in a
pattern around the world. Volcanic eruptions often
occur in regions that also have earthquakes.

Analyzing Seismic Data 09/20/111. Where do earthquakes
occur?
2. Where do volcanic eruptions occur?
3. Do big earthquakes and small
earthquakes occur in the same or
different regions?
4. Do earthquakes happen near volcanic
eruptions?
5. What sizes of earthquakes are most
common?
6. What patterns do you notice?
7. What similarities do you see between
the earthquake and volcano data?

Scientific Modeling 09/22/11Do earthquakes/volcanic
eruptions
occur everywhere on Earth?
Do earthquakes/volcanic eruptions
happen in the same or different
locations?
What patterns do you see in the data?
Is there a relationship between the
continents coastlines and where the
activity occurs?
List 2-3 main ideas you gathered fromyour data:
09/22/11
Develop at least two questions with
your group that you can ask about your
model (what do you need to include or
figure out in order to make your model
more scientifically accurate?):
Make sure your models represent all of
the evidence you collected th
at fits your
region. This includes earthquake data
and volcanic eruption data. Someregions may have different
amounts, but
all contain evidence of some seismic or
volcanic activity.

Your Learning Goal:Earths surface moves slowly and continuously,
not just during
catastrophic events. GPS is a tool used for directmeasurement of
slow surface movement. Different areas ofEarths surface move in
different directions and at different
speeds.Table of Contents:3.1 Tracking Slow Movements 7L, 7R
