Epicenter location WS today/Thursday, HMWK for Mon, Quiz Friday

earthquake epicenter WS
For the equation, you are welcome to use:  P-S delay times 7.5 km/s... this should give you a distance from the epicenter to the seismograph.  (a simplification of what we did in class)
We will be working with compasses in class tomorrow.

HMWK for Monday:  Read p. 370-378, p. 372# 1,2,5    and p. 378#1-8     The equation for volume of a sphere is 4/3 (pi) times radius cubed.  You will have to use some logic to solve the problem involving relative sizes of Earth's layers.

Also, Friday we will have a quiz on plate tectonics and Earth's interior concepts we've learned so far, and have a fun competition for the most tectonic plates memorized.

Notes on Friday afterward:  How we know what we know about the inside of the Earth.
