This is the introduction to the Burke Museum's online exhibit on earthquakes and natural disasters. This is part of the Burke Museum's collection of geology. Topics that are covered include an introduction to quakes, quake science, quake...

When an earthquake occurs, seismic shock waves travel out through the earth from the source of the event. The shock waves travel through the earth (body waves), or along the Earth's surface (surface waves), and can be recorded at remote...

The information on tsunamis provided at this site is part of the Burke Museum's online exhibition on earthquakes and geology. Prevention is discussed, along with famous tsunamis in history.

This is an excellent resource for children, parents, and teachers who need to talk about earthquakes. It includes guides for teachers and parents and an ABC Children's Book about earthquakes.

Provides insight on how scientists determine the depth of an earthquake. Offers links to locating earthquakes as well as earthquake facts and lists.

Use this interactive map to find out about earthquakes which have happened around the world since about 1970.

Explains what earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are and how they are related.

Coloring pictures of seismic waves, earthquake safety and hazard maps. [PDF] Links to other handy tools, including trivia, stories, games and fun projects.

Students use geologic fault maps of the San Francisco Bay Area to find relationships between tectonic plate fault lines and landscape features, topographic features, and epicenters of past earthquakes.

Maps and images that show liquefaction, the process by which water-filled sediment loses strength and acts like a fluid.

The USGS provides the facts and figures on 2004's earthquakes, which is the second most fatal in recorded history.

Students learn the two main methods to measure earthquakes, the Richter Scale and the Mercalli Scale. They make a model of a seismograph - a measuring device that records an earthquake on a seismogram. Students also investigate which...

Article on the Japanese mythological explanations of the history of geologic events in Japan.

See interactive, 360 degree panoramic photos of the San Andreas Fault. Aerial photos of the fault were taken using a technique called Kite Aerial Photography.

The different types of earthquake waves are discussed and illustrated. Features geologist video clip.

This is a comprehensive website featuring how to build a model that illustrates sea-floor spreading and subduction. It has diagrams and pictures reviewing major geological concepts.

This site features information and related links that can be used by students and scientists to understand the events that led to the December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.

Looking for the epicenter of an earthquake and measuring the magnitude of waves are goals for students in this lesson plan for intermediate to middle school students. Students get to analyze the P and S waves.

Our home, Earth, is a living planet. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are proof that the geological forces that shaped our planet and created the land masses are ongoing. An amazing example of geologic activity that is less damaging is...

If you live in an area where earthquakes happen, you might be especially interested in this science project. You'll learn how to build your own seismograph and how to use it to detect ground motion.

A unit on rocks and minerals presented with interactive and classroom activities. Gain understanding of rocks, weather, erosion, earthquakes, and relative dating with this resource.

Describes details of the earthquake of November 29, 1975 Kalapana in Hawaii, the tsunami, and the eruption of the volcano Kilauea as a result of the earthquake.

The intent of this module is for students to make straightforward numerical calculations as they learn about earthquake geology at a National Park.
