Concepts of Thinking: Spatial Significance, Patterns and Trends

Inquiry: Why were the apartments near by the collapsed building not affected to the same extent? How could this collapse have been prevented?

Activity: Map out the epicenter of the earthquake, add in the vault lines and cities. Create buffers to show the extent of the damage this earthquake could produce. How many people could potentially be affected? How can aid get to the people who need it the most and in a timely fashion?
