2.Causes of earthquake(Animated Guide)


What give rise to earthquake?

Reason for recommendation:
Animated guide: Earthquakes is an interactive and quality online lesson about the formation of earthquake. With a total of 13 steps and language suitable for laypersons, users can understand how plate tectonics lead to earthquakes. When a concept is hard to grasp, users can revisit previous steps. These qualities make the animated guide a good source of information for users with little knowledge of plate tectonics.

Information Literacy guidance:
Enter the website and click ‘Click here to begin’ and the lesson starts. If users need to revisit previous steps, either they click the button at far left that guides them back to the beginning, or ‘Back’ to go to the previous step.

As students use the animated guide, they should take note of the cause of earthquake. They are expected to explain the causes of earthquakes in the final presentation. Bear in mind, however, that the animated guide is a quick reference for people without specific knowledge of the topic. Students should browse the Internet for more details on the topic. Please refer to 2.Causes of earthquake (encyclopedia) for more ideas.
