• What is this?
• Recreation ancient Chinese Seismograph
from 132 AD.
– Copper balls would fall out into a frogs mouth
forecasting and reporting an earthquake.
• The seismograph uses a counterweight
system, pen, and moving piece of paper.

• Do earthquakes kill people?
Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
• Answer! Earthquakes don‟t generally kill
people,
Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
• Answer! Earthquakes don‟t generally kill
people, poorly built buildings do.
Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
• The type of soil a building is on, and the
design / construction of the building has a lot
to do with how well the building will fare in an
earthquake.

• Liquefaction: A process where sand or
landfill will often change from a wet solid
into a dense liquid, which further amplifies
shaking.

– Why?
• Activity!
– Fill tray with lots of water so water is visible on
the surface..
– Shake tray and observe what happens.
– Why? Liquefaction. The sand (solid) mixed
with water (liquid) and acted as a liquid.

• Building on loose sand and poorly packed fill
material increases the intensity of the an
earthquake.
Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
• Building on loose sand and poorly packed fill
material increases the intensity of the an
earthquake.
– Building on solid bedrock is better.
Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
• Many of our major cities have large areas
that are built on sand and fill. 
Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
• Which area experienced liquefaction
based on the seismic waves?
A
B
Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
• Answer! Area A because the seismic
waves were more severe.
