IMPORTANT : Try to inspire the reader of this event. Write your title, question, image caption and especially the description so as to convince the reader this is a fascinating or important event that they will want to learn more about. Information about your Earthquake Event  Which one of these types of events best describes what you chose?  Earthquake on a strike slip or transform fault  A mid-continent earthquake  Earthquakes associated with a volcano  Earthquake at a tectonic spreading center or rift zone  Earthquake originating within a subduction zone fault  Earthquake originating above, not within, a subduction zone fault  Some other type of earthquake  Did you or someone you know experience this event?  I experienced it  Family member(s) experienced it  Friend/acquaintance experienced it  Someone I know experienced it  I do not know anyone who experienced it  Which framework component is most closely related to the aspect you find most interesting about this event?  Processes.

How were people, communities or the environment impacted  Mitigation. How can we minimize the effects, OR recover as quickly and efficiently as possible  Provide your OWN short, inspiring title for your chosen event. Write a maximum of 200 characters . (Note: characters are spaces, letters of the alphabet, numbers, and punctuation -- everything you type. Anything greater than this maximum will be truncated when uploaded to our Class Map.) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ The most significant recorded earthquake on Vancouver Island registered a magnitude of 7.3, leading to the collapse of communities _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 1 of 6

HINTS for finding the latitude, Longitude information: 1. Use Google Maps https://support.google.com/maps/answer/18539 to find the latitude / longitude coordinates of the location you are discussing. 2. This could be the origin of the event (e.g. epicentre) or one location where the aspect you discuss was “hazardous” or “disastrous”. 3. Most commonly this information is written as: Latitude, Longitude (together but separated by a comma; this is also Google’s format, and easier to review). However, these two values will be entered into Canvas separately.  Latitude and Longitude . Write the two values separated by a comma, for example UBC Latitude, Longitude is: 49.260598, -123.246133. (If present, minus signs are important!) How? See illustrated steps on last page of this Worksheet. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________ 49.62, 125.26 ____________________________________________________  What is the country (e.g. Canada) OR region (e.g. Pacific Ocean) where this event occurred? ____________________Canada_____________________________________________________________  Timing : If known, enter the date of the event __________ in this format: yyyy/mm/dd OR y,yyy,yyy years ago OR “future” (as applicable). ________________ 1946/06/23 _______________________________________________________________________________  Find a reliable source of information about the event of your choice.
