Answer the following questions:How many earthquakes in California occurred over the last day?Where did those California earthquakes occur?Using what you know about plate tectonics, your lecture notes, and the internet, provide a hypothesis for the cause of these quakes.Now zoom out to the whole Earth so you can see earthquakes on the other continents.Name all the earthquakes that occurred in the last day over magnitude 4.0 (location and magnitude..example: Bodie, CA, 2.2)Choose 3 of these earthquakes (>4.0) and hypothesize what caused each. Hint, the red lines on the map are plate boundaries!Did any earthquakes occur far away from plate boundaries? Name one and hypothesize what caused it (example: magma movement from a volcano, landslides, fracking, etc), you can use the internet to research.Make sure you have the Fault Map selected in settings (see YouTube video) and answer the following: (Watch the following Lab Lecture:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL66AJrjQ48)There is a dense system of faulting in Nevada, use the internet to determine the geologic name of this province. Now research how this area formed and describe in one sentence.Read the summary of this recent 6.5 earthquake in Idaho, what did the geologists say caused it? https://www.usgs.gov/news/magnitude-65-earthquake-felt-central-idaho (Links to an external site.)
