By completing these activities, the learner will: suggest processes that can destroy buildings, understand that earthquakes occur in some parts of the United States, discern patterns of world-wide earthquake location, predict where earthquakes are most likely to occur, and practice procedures to follow should an earthquake occur. These lesson ideas provide questions which require students to think and be creative in order to answer them. There are many links to various other earthquake websites and activity ideas. The tasks are grouped into sub groups so that the work can be done over several days. Educational levels: Middle school, Intermediate elementary, Informal education, General public, High school
