"Students discover how the underground movement of rocks, along with stresses on the Earth's crust, produces surface-level tremors. Learn how scientists determine where the hypocenter and epicenter of a quake occur while exploring the destructive power of seismic waves, and how seismologists predict where earthquakes will occur. A visit to the University of California at Berkeley showcases the use of a "shaker table" by engineers who design buildings, while a fun, hands-on investigation demonstrates how students can build a simple model of a seismograph and put it through a simulated earthquake"--Container.
