Famous+Earthquakes

= Famous Earthquakes =

We are learning to investigate some significant earthquakes that have occurred in New Zealand and other countries.

We will demonstrate our understanding of this when we can:

- name at least two magnitude 7 or more earthquakes that have occurred in New Zealand and one from another country

- show the area/areas affected on a map

- name the tectonic plates involved

- written a report for each quake which includes information about: - magnitude - reported damage - injuries and fatalities (deaths - main problems during the disaster - a brief summery of one survivors story - main changes to the area since the quake

Do this in your topic book.
