Unit 3: Earthquakes
The third unit of the Geology: Structure of the Earth series, produced by Northumberland County Council, follows on from the previous units and looks at the how, why and where of earthquakes, how they affect the Earth's surface, people and buildings, and how they are predicted. As in previous units, Unit 3 contains a variety of activities, experiments and questions, including essay questions and a self-assessment section. Further geological terms are added to the students' glossary.
