Assignment: Earthquake & Tsunamis

Read the websites and then write (typed not hand-written) a reaction/response of at least 300 words (~1-page double spaced). Remember to critically think about the articles and discussing their relevance to Earth Science and how it relates to class materials. Submitted through D2L.

Watch the videos and then read the articles.

- It is a Fox News video. I do not want your comments about Fox News. This is not about your politics.

- This is a model of the last major Earthquake/Tsunami to occur along the Cascadia Coast

In your write up I want you to address the questions below. Must provide evidence from articles/videos to support your answers.

- Do you believe an earthquake in the Pacific NW is possible in our lifetime? What about the big one, 9.0 or higher? [This is opinion, but all opinions in life must be supported by facts]

-- The New Yorker article (linked below) and 1st video state that the odds of a Cascadia earthquake happening in the next fifty years are roughly one in three and the odds of the very big one are roughly one in ten.

- The videos and the articles point out how unprepared the Pacific Northwest is. Should the government be required to install/implement warning systems, retrofit or build safer buildings, etc.?

Here is the New Yorker article. You are not required to read as it is very long, but a really good read.
