Lesson: Earthquakes Geology and Ecology • Third Year of Secondary School

In this lesson, we will learn how to explain how earthquakes happen, describe their effects, and compare between different types of earthquakes’ seismic waves and between an earthquake’s intensity and magnitude.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

explain how earthquakes occur and describe their effects,
describe the different types of earthquakes, including volcanic, tectonic, and plutonic earthquakes,
define what a seismic wave is and compare between the different types,
understand and determine the location of an earthquake’s epicenter,
understand how intensity and magnitude are used to measure earthquakes.
