Help your students build real understanding of earthquake hazards through ninety questions that move from basic recognition to genuine reasoning about how the Earth works.
Sample questions include "What is the main purpose of a seismic hazard assessment?", "Which fault type is primarily responsible for the largest earthquakes?", and "What type of fault is characterized by horizontal displacement?"
All three worksheets cover the same topic in different question styles. That means you can use one as a pretest, another for practice or homework, and the third as a follow up quiz, without students ever seeing the same question twice.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers Types of Natural Hazards, Volcanic Eruptions and Risk, Hurricanes and Coastal, Wildfires and Drought, GIS and Hazard Mapping, and Probability and Risk, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 9-12 earth science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard HS-ESS3-2.
