Two topics: Earthquakes and other natural disasters in Canada
Earthquakes (a GIS activity)
Earthquakes are just one of many kinds of natural disasters occurring in our world. Our physical location on the earth may determine our vulnerability to experience a severe earthquake. In the following lesson pack, we will relate earthquakes from around the world and from Canada to places of high population density. We will also examine potential relationships between elevation and earthquake occurrence on both a global and a Canadian scale.
