Questions on earthquakes
> We used this site @http://www.sfmuseum.org/1906/ew.html to gather eyewitnesses' stories to the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906. After reading some of these stories our team understands how quickly and earthquake can change our life. media type="custom" key="6154471"
 * How does our environment affect us?
 * As young geologist we will use this site to gather information on how earthquakes affect our world. We will share with you why earthquakes occur and what tools are used to measure them. We will also explain the different types of faults.
 * We have added links to sites that helped us along the way.

Understanding Earthquakes?

 * Here is the link to our [|KWL] (this is what we know, what we want to learn, and what we learned after completing this project.) discussion page.
 * We used the link below to make an earthquake and see the result it has on different building types and the magnitude of the quake. Here is our findings on our tests? (I don't have time to do this, but you get the idea?) We used sceenjelly to create this video.
 * We used the following sites to help us better understand earthquakes.
 * Daily quake results for May 18th.[[file:May 18 quakes.xls]] Based off this information, one can see that earthquakes occur all the time.

Types of Faults

 * Transfer of motion is when the plates slip by each other like the faults in California. [[image:Picture_3.png width="283" height="239" align="center"]]
 * Convergent plates crush together. This occurs in South America.
 * Divergent plates come apart. This usually occurs in East Africa, some are found in New Mexico.[[image:Picture_2.png align="center"]]
