Earthquake Lab – Patterns of Crustal Activity, Earth’s Layers, Geology

In this Patterns of Crustal Activity Lab, students will actively engage with real-world data, maps, and scientific tools, providing them with a tangible understanding of complex geological concepts. The purpose of this lab is for students to identify the relationships amongst the specific locations of crustal activities. Students will plot the areas in which earthquakes occur most frequently, the depths at which they happen, and identify other crustal activities that appear related to these zones.

$3.00
