Paleoseismology: Geologic Evidence of Past Earthquakes
Paleoseismologists use evidence of visible surface
damage including landslides, liquefaction features and
sand blows to estimate the age of ancient earthquakes.
Question 1:
What is Paleoseismology?
Question 2:
How large an area was covered with sand blows during the 1811-1812 New Madrid earthquakes?
Question 3:
Can we still see sand blows from the 1811-1812 earthquakes on the surface today?
