Seismicity Activity Example: Students plot earthquake foci on a series of cross sections, then answer a set of questions prompting them to tie observations to interpretations.
Concepts:
- Earthquake foci are related to faults – faults generate earthquakes.
- Plate boundaries are faults.
- Earthquake depth and magnitude is strongly governed by tectonic setting.
