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 depthQUESTION 6) Assign a ‘’Depth’’ code to Earthquake event 6 A) Shallow B) Intermediate C) Deep QUESTION 7) Assign a ‘’Depth’’ code to Earthquake event 7 A) Shallow B) Intermediate C) Deep QUESTION 8) Assign a ‘’Depth’’ code to Earthquake event 8 A) Shallow B) Intermediate C) Deep QUESTION 9) Assign a ‘’Depth’’ code to Earthquake event 9 A) Shallow B) Intermediate C) Deep QUESTION 10) Assign a ‘’Depth’’ code to Earthquake event 10 A) Shallow B) Intermediate C) Deep West (W)Lines of LongitudeEast (E)180 W150 W120 W90 W60 W30 W30 Е60 E90 E120 E150 E180 EEurasian Plate60 N60 NNorth American Plate30 N30 NArabian PlatePacific PlateCaribbean PlateIndian, PlatePacific PlateCocos PlateAfrican PlateNazca PlateAustralian PlateSouth Américan Plate30 S30 S60 S60 SAntarctic Plate180 W150 W120 W90 W60 W30 W30 Е60 E90 E120 E150 E180 ELEGEND:Sample Earthquake Epicenter PlotLocation:Depth of Earthquake (km)= 25 km (Shallow)Latitude degrees = 45 NLongitude degress = 60 W%3DNAME:IDLAB:Lines of LatitudeSouth (S)PLATE BOUNDARY MAPThis map is adapted from Dietmar Mueller, Univ. of Sydney Selected Worldwide Earthquakes June 20- July 18, 2021Data Source: United States Geological Survey earthquake.usgs.govDepth ofEarthquake(km)MagnitudeEventLatitudeLongitudeyyyy/mm/dd/ hh:mmofLocation of EarthquakeNo.degreesdegreesEarthquake55°S29°W354.42021-06-20 16:26South Sandwich Islands region241°N114°E31.94.42021-06-21 23:14NW of Zhangjiakou, China26°S71°E104.32021-06-23 17:25Indian Ocean Triple Junction437°N70°E179.34.32021-06-25 5:11SSE of Talogan, Afghanistan54°N31°E104.42021-06-26 17:11E of Yei, South Sudan6.6 2021-06-26 20:0640°N143°E38.44.1NE of Miyako, Japan34°N118°W181.12021-06-27 9:13N of Montebello, CA845°N28°W104.52021-06-27 12:24northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge944°N129°W13.242021-06-29 13:03off the coast of Oregon1028°S113°W104.92021-06-30 15:52Easter Island region1138°S176.454°E2272021-07-02 5:14N of Maketu, New Zealand1216°N145.5°E516.64.22021-07-04 8:11Anatahan region, Northern Mariana Islands1340°S75°W19.84.52021-07-05 3:57W of Corral, Chile145°N94°E38.14.12021-07-05 13:54W of Banda Aceh, Indonesia1553°N163.5°W32.13.72021-07-06 1:08S of False Pass, Alaska167°N73°W149.74.52021-07-06 7:41NW of Cepitá, Colombia
