Answer the following questions on the same page: 15. Based on the location and magnitude of your earthquake, speculate on the type of damages your earthquake might have caused. 16. Now compare this to the Mercalli Intensity scale. What classification is your earthquake based on this scale? 17. How did the different waves (P, S & Surface Waves) assist you in determining the epicenter and the amount of damage caused? 18. Was your location in an area prone to earthquakes? Speculate on what might have caused this earthquake (be specific). 19. Why is it so difficult for geologists to predict when and where an earthquake will occur? 20. What connections can you make between the behavior of the seismic waves and the Earth's interior? 21. Make sure your name is ON your document before submitting.
