Serc: Looking Into Earth With Gis

Curated by ACT

Multi-lesson activity where students will work with data from a seismic wave model in a GIS (geographic information system) program. They will examine maps, select data, and produce graphs to explore variations in seismic wave velocities at different depths below Earth's surface. By examining, graphing and analyzing GIS data, they will be able to understand the relationship between earthquake locations, plate boundaries, and seismic waves.
