Hints for plotting: In order to PLOT an earthquake event, you will need to use the Latitude and Longitude information provided. Lines of Latitude appear horizontal (“side to side”) and are measured as degrees north (N) or south (S) of the equator (the equator is 0°). Longitude lines run vertically (“up and down”) and measure the degrees East (E) or West (W) of the Prime Meridian (0° runs through Greenwich, England). A sample plot of a theoretical Shallow depth earthquake at 60 deg W and 45 deg N has been plotted for you on the map. The Earthquake events that have been provided on the separate data sheet (from June 20 – July 18, 2021), can be assigned a ‘’depth code’’ according to the DEPTH (km) below the Earth’s surface that each one occurred. Using the following criteria: Shallow depth earthquakes = 0-70 km Intermediate depth earthquakes = 70- 300 km Deep depth earthquakes = >(greater than) 300 km depth QUESTION 17) Assign a ‘’Depth’’ code to Earthquake event 17 A) Shallow B) Intermediate C) Deep QUESTION 18) Assign a ‘’Depth’’ code to Earthquake event 18 A) Shallow B) Intermediate C) Deep QUESTION 19) Assign a ‘’Depth’’ code to Earthquake event 19 A) Shallow B) Intermediate C) Deep QUESTION 20) Assign a ‘’Depth’’ code to Earthquake event 20 A) Shallow B) Intermediate C) Deep
