Here is our tenth and final seismology mini-investigation to support those
of you still leading e-learning as a result of stay-at-home orders!
This week’s investigation could be used now, but we know many of you are
done for the school year. Thus, we designed it to also be used in the fall
since Hurricane season spans from June to November. Yes, Hurricanes! The
techniques of seismology can be applied in a variety of contexts to explore
many aspects of Earth’s system! From glaciers, sea ice, …

Here is our ninth seismology mini-investigation to support those of you
still leading e-learning as a result of stay-at-home orders! This week’s
investigation is an extension or introduction to the idea that an
earthquake’s magnitude is determined by physical features of the fault.
The correlation between magnitude and energy released is a strong
emphasis. Students use some basic math and a few assumptions to calculate
the magnitude of their own jumpquake!

IRIS is committed to supporting educators in their need for “virtual”
investigations and e-learning as a result of stay-at-home orders. Through
June 19th, IRIS will be releasing a weekly 'Teachable Moment' that offers
an opportunity for teachers and students to explore various elements of
seismology. These will be offered in addition to our regular earthquake
summaries.
This week’s investigation explores various factors (fault length, depth,
slip, and rigidity) that combine to determine the m…
