Earthquake
Earthquakes, a geological force to be reckoned with! Understanding them isn't so hard when you have the information presented in just the right way. That's what this unit is about - exploring plate tectonics and how that translates into the movement you feel under your feet when the quaking begins. The Richter scale is also covered as is seismic waves, measuring earthquakes, and damage form earthquakes.
