San Andreas the movie vs. Reality

Similar to your comparison paper on Mt. Pinatubo vs. Dante's Peak, we have watched the movie San Andreas and will compare it to the events depicted to real life.

You have already watched a Nova documentary (NOVA: Killer Quakes) to provide a real-world example of how an Earthquake affects an area, use this and background from class to give a brief overview of how this movie depicted the earthquake and resulting disaster.

Some things to consider:

• How the Earthquake is depicted, including shaking and duration.

• Talk about the hazards shown, including how the buildings hold up to this shaking.

• How reasonable it would be to have a tsunami resulting from an Earthquake along the San Andreas fault.

• Mention where the film gets things right and where it gets things wrong.

• Overall how well this film does depicting an Earthquake event.

Briefly (1 to 3 pages) write up a response to compare and contrast these two films, addressing these questions.
