SigBig 2008 Eathquakes  

This post was edited by Marie Wisz on May, 2008
1. My map is showing significant big earthquakes within a 100 mile radius in China near the recent earthquake of Chengu. These earthquakes are shown in yellow and depict earthquakes occurring in 2008 with a magnitude of 6.0 or greater.

2. Possible GIS data that my students may investigate include significant earthquakes at various divergent, transform, and convergent boundaries with magnitudes of 5.0 to 10.0. Students may hopefully understand Plate Tectonics as it relates to earthquake distribution worldwide.

3. Students could use analysis techniques to map earthquakes by determining latitude and longitude. They could manipulate layers and colors for earthquake comparisons and distribution.

3. GIS analysis techniques
