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=82432 Simulate convergent, transform and divergent boundaries with your mouse. Information is also provided. 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=75056 Earth Density is a Java applet in which the user tries to create a density model that matches Earth's mass, radius, and moment of inertia. The objecy of the exercise is to show students how geologists infer the composition of parts of the planet that are too deep to sample directly. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=84099 PBS broadcasted a video series in 1998, titled "Savage Earth״. This site has video streams and animation clips explaining volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=636927 A simple simulation of an earthquake which can occur along the San Andreas Fault in California.
