Earthquake Project!

Here is a project you can do all about Earthquakes.

Print off the answer sheet and use the website links to help you answer the questions.

When you have finished this, bring it to school and you can receive up to 20 house points! WOW!

If you want hints to answer the questions, you will find these hints down the bottom of this page.

I have used two websites for these questions and answers.

• Shake Rattle and Slide looks at natural disasters. Have a look around this website for more information. Make sure you have the sound up!
• Earthquake Rescue looks at how survivors are found in buildings that have collapsed. This is what the rescuers in Christchurch have been doing to save many people in the city.
