EART 11Earthquakes

Causes and effects of earthquakes. How do we measure, mitigate, and try to predict earthquakes? Plate motion, frictional faulting, earthquake triggering, wave propagation, earthquake damage, related hazards, and other social effects. Hazard reduction through earthquake forecasting and earthquake-resistant design. Advanced algebra and high school geometry recommended.

• From the Instructor: This class focuses on how we measure, mitigate, and try to predict earthquakes via an understanding of plate motion, frictional faulting, earthquake triggering, wave propagation, earthquake damage, and related hazards. Advanced algebra and high school geometry recommended.
