62. Fun With Science A professional geophysicist maintains this collection of resources for classroom demonstrations and handson exercises about physics, earth science, earthquakes, math and fun illusions. Includes videos of earthquake shake tables. http://www.jclahr.com/science/

If you're looking for ideas for a science fair project or demonstration, these pages may help you find a topic that would be fun to explore. They also provide ideas for teachers who are looking for classroom demonstrations or hands-on, inquiry-based student exercises to expand their curriculum. I am a Emeritus US Geological Survey Geophysicist specializing in seismology and earthquake location programming. I enjoy all sorts of science and would like to see more K-16 lessons taught on the subjects of tectonics, earthquake processes and earthquake hazards. In addition to Earth Science classes, these topics could be covered within general science, physics, math, and even social studies and geography classes. Not only do earthquakes provide an interesting context within which to teach concepts that are already part of the curriculum of these other subjects, the eventual result of incorporating these topics would be a greater understand and appreciation of the value of mitigating the hazardous effects of future earthquakes within the population as a whole. Projects and lesson plans described in the Earth Science section include a table-top earthquake demonstration, an earthshaking lab, a shake table, and a paper model that illustrates sea floor spreading, subduction, faulting, and the source of volcanic arcs.

June 2, 2004 Earth Scientists Struggle to Accurately Predict Earthquakes As new technologies become available, scientists are learning more than ever before about the structure and properties of the Earth's crust and upper mantle bringing them to the brink of discoveries about earthquakes that could one day save millions of lives. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that several million barely perceptible earthquakes happen every day, while larger, cataclysmic quakes routinely cause devastation. Read about what scientists now know about why earthquakes happen The Earth's surface is made up of giant slabs of rock, or tectonic plates, that move at an average of several inches per year, and are the underlying cause of earthquakes. View an interactive map of the major tectonic plates.

Earthquake From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. For other uses, see Earthquake (disambiguation) Global earthquake epicenters An earthquake is a sudden and sometimes catastrophic movement of a part of the Earth's surface. Earthquakes result from the dynamic release of elastic strain energy that radiates seismic waves . Earthquakes typically result from the movement of faults , planar zones of deformation within its the upper crust . The word earthquake is also widely used to indicate the source region itself. The Earth's lithosphere is a patch work of plates in slow but constant motion (see plate tectonics ). Earthquakes occur where the stress resulting from the differential motion of these plates exceeds the strength of the crust. The highest stress (and possible weakest zones) are most often found at the boundaries of the tectonic plates and hence these locations are where the majority of earthquakes occur. Events located at plate boundaries are called interplate earthquakes ; the less frequent events that occur in the interior of the lithospheric plates are called intraplate earthquakes (see New Madrid Seismic Zone ). Earthquakes also occur in

Homogeneous composites have been with us for quite some time in the form of alloys (mixtures) and matrix composites in the form of Concrete. In the construction industry, we have extensively been using 'Reinforced' concrete; a composite material, and constructing Composite Structures (combination of rolled Steel sections and Reinforced Concrete Construction, etc.). Most of these are non-homogeneous and heterogeneous arrangements. There are new materials being developed which have structures within structures, i.e. the building blocks are themselves becoming fairly complicated structures. Post-tensioning and pre-stressing have become more prevalent.
