Did you feel the earthquake this morning?
Today's assignment has 2 parts. A. Read, watch, and answer the Google Forms questions to see how well you processed what you learned.
Let's use the Habit of Mind "asking questions" to find out more about earthquakes! Today you are an investigator. Take a minute or 4 to recall what you know. Next, write down any questions you have. For example, I'm wondering if Magna has had earthquakes before and if animals like my neighbor's dogs can sense earthquakes before they happen. What do you wonder? Jot down your questions. To start, put a star by the three questions you think you can find answers to and begin researching your questions. Finally, go find out! *Remember to determine the validity of your online searches before you read information out there. ".edu" or ".gov" will be more reliable than ".com". Don't settle- get accurate information... and, as always, AVOID Wikipedia. 😉 Don't forget primary resources, as well. Who do you know that you can talk to or what information can you get from pictures or diaries? You are not powerless. Information can help you feel in control when you feel like things are happening beyond your control. Most importantly, remember, I am here for you. If you would like to reach out, you can reach me via email [email protected] or even phone/text 901-409-9944. I care about you. I am thinking of you. Love, Mrs. (Redmon) Holman

i was told the same thing but i researched it and found that standing under a door was is actually not that great of an idea unless you are in an adobe house which nobody has any more. according the the red cross official earthquake safety site at https://www.redcross.org/get-help/how-to-prepare-for-emergencies/types-of-emergencies/earthquake.html it states "Doorways are no stronger than any other part of a structure so don’t rely on them for protection! During an earthquake, get under a sturdy piece of furniture and hold on." also i don't want to get hit by a swinging door when get to the doorway.

houses are meant to be built on stationary objects. Or an object that doesn't accelerate like the earth but say a gingerbread house was built on a plate and then you wanted to shake the plate really hard, what would happen to the gingerbread house? The same thing happens on earth except with plates of stone. Ancient greeks believed The Great Earthshaker, Poseidon shook the ground with his trident. The ancient greeks knew they couldn't protect themselves from hypothetical gods.

The best place to be is in an empty field so if an earthquake happens nothing can fall on you.
