Student Investigations on Earthquakes

Introduction: Using the program Seismic Eruption each team of two will investigate a specific earthquake event or region and present it to the class and your teacher. During your presentation one member of your team should run the computer while the other points to the screen and addresses the audience. The questions below are meant to guide you investigations but not limit it. You may present as many views as necessary including ones you make on your own.
