Make-up Assignment for Earthquake lab

If you were absent On May 2 or 3 then you will need to complete the alternate assignment for the Lab that we completed in class.

Please see me and I will go over it with you if I haven't already.

The directions are below:

Visit the site "Faultline: Earthquake history and science"
The link is on on the sidebar of the blog.

Read through all of the materials on the site focusing on how Earthquake technology has improved over the years. You might want to take some notes to help you with the following writing assignment

-Write 2-3 paragraph assessment of the improvements that have been made over the years in building in Earthquake zones, and Earthquake technology in general. Some questions you might want to answer in your writing: What techniques used to be used in the early 1900’s? How has earthquake technology changed between the two big quakes (1906 and 1989)? What does the future hold?

Due on Monday May 9.
