This is the old version. A newer simulation called Earthquake is now available. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=79551 Interactive simulation that allows students to learn the principles behind the determiniation of the epicenter and Richter magnitude of Earthquakes. Includes on-line assessment. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=75332 This activity models the theory and processes of radiometric age-dating of rocks. Also included is a C-14 age-dating option for once-living materials. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=82432 Simulate convergent, transform and divergent boundaries with your mouse. Information is also provided. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=84698 This website allows you to examine virtually any section of the planet via satellite images. Easy to pull up any satellite image on the spot! You will need to download the free version of google earth. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=74267 Interactive demonstration that lets the user experiment with whether South America and Africa were ever connected or not. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=241914 Esta actividad ilustra cómo se utilizan las ondas sísmicas para determinar la magnitud de un terremoto y para localizar su epicentro. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=253285 See website for description. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=84166 Volcanic activity http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=84008 Make a Quake is an interactive computer program designed to explain what kind of damage occurs during an earthquake to various types of building structures depending on how the building is reinforced and what type of foundation it is built upon.
