Waves Research Current Events Exploration For this lesson's graded assignment, you will do research on the Internet to learn more about the role seismic waves play in earthquakes and tsunamis. Your essay will address one of the following questions:

How does an underwater earthquake cause a tsunami?
Why do some earthquakes cause more damage than others?

Here is a Website and some keyword search terms to help you get started.

HYPERLINK "http://earthquake. usgs. gov/learn/" USGS Earthquakes

Keywords search terms: earthquake formation, P wave, S wave, tsunami, earthquake travel, analyzing earthquakes

Your essay should do the following things:
discuss how the different types of waves are formed and describe how the waves travel
explain how scientists use waves to track and analyze earthquakes
cover recent events involving earthquakes and/or tsunamis that illustrate the points made in your explanation

The essay should be about 350-450 words, which is 1-1.5 typed pages, double-spaced, using 12-pt. font. Check the rubric to review how you will be graded for this assignment.

1. study the scenario. the particles in some system are moving around quickly. a few minutes later, the particles are moving, on average, more slowly. how does this change in motion affect the temperature of the system? the temperature of the system did not change. the speed of the particles does not affect temperature, the number of particles affects the temperature.the temperature of the system is lower now than it was initially. faster moving particles result in a higher temperature for the system.the temperature of the system is higher now than it was initially. slower moving particles result in a higher temperature for the system.the temperature of the system did not change. the speed of the particles has no effect on the temperature, only the type of atom affects the temperature.
