• Objective: Today you will learn about the Earth's crust, faults,
and plate movement.
• Starter: What do you know about Earthquakes?
K (what you Know)
Some earthquakes
are stronger than
others
It can occur when 2
plates collide
The epicenter of the
earthquake has the
most force
W (What you want
to learn)
Do they move the
entire Earth?
How do earthquakes
spread?
Are they useful?
L (What you learned)
• Objective: Today you will learn about the Earth's crust, faults,
and plate movement.
• Starter: What do you know about Earthquakes?
K (what you Know)
Two plates move then they
occur
The ground shakes
Cause damage
Can create tsunamis
W (What you want to learn)
How do earthquakes create
tsunami’s
Why do they occur
Where do they mostly occur?
L (What you learned)
• Objective: Today you will learn about the Earth's crust, faults,
and plate movement.
• Starter: Where is the San Andres Fault? Why is it important?
• Objective: Today you will learn about the Earth's crust, faults,
and plate movement.
• Starter: What is the biggest earthquake recorded since 1900?
Where was it? How do seismologist know where to check for
earthquake activity?
• What have been your experiences with earthquakes?
• A force that acts on an area of rock to change its shape or
volume.
• A type of stress
that pulls on the
crust.
A type of stress
that squeezes
rock until it folds
or breaks
A type of stress
that pushes a
mass of rock in
two opposite
directions.
• Tension in Earth’s
crust pulls rock
apart. The fault is
at an angle.
The block above the
normal fault
The block below the
normal fault.
• The blocks move in the opposite direction.
• The rocks on either side of the fault slip past each other side
ways.
• A large area of flat land elevated high above sea level.

Mr. Ochoa
6th grade teacher
• Objective: Today you will learn about earthquakes and how
they are measured.
• Starter: What are the three different types of faults and which
way do they move?
• What kinds of waves have you observed? How do waves move
in water?
• The shaking that results from the sudden movement of rock
along a fault.
• The area beneath
Earth’s surface where
rock that is under
stress breaks,
triggering an
earthquake.
The point of the surface directly
above the focus
• Seismic waves that
compress and
expand the ground
like an accordion.
Seismic waves that vibrate
from side to side as well as up
and down.
Seismic waves that move more slowly than P and S waves; they
produce severe ground movements.
• A scale that determines the
intensity or strength of an
earthquake in a certain
place.
• A number that
geologists assign to
an earthquake based
on the earthquakes
size.
Assigns a magnitude number
to an earthquake based on
the seismic waves.
• A device that measures seismic waves.
• A rating system that estimates the total energy released by an
earthquake.

• Objective: Today you will learn about how earthquakes are
monitored.
• Starter: How do geologists determine where earthquakes
occurred? What is the device below and what is it used for?
• Why is it important for scientists to develop ways to predict
earthquakes? Do you think earthquakes will ever be predicted
accurately?
• The force that opposes the motion of one surface as it moves
across another surface.

• What kind of structures have you seen that make buildings,
bridges, or highways stronger? Do you think these structures will
help during an earthquake?
• Occurs when an earthquakes violent shaking suddenly turns
loose soft soil into liquid mud.
• Occurs after a large earthquake in the same area. They may
strike hours, days or even months later.
• A large wave that may be caused by an earthquake.
• Is designed to reduce the amount of energy that reaches the
building during an earthquake.
