    1) Check recent seismicity data from USGS for the US/Canada or world over 1 week and 1 month and tabulate the number of earthquakes by magnitude. 2) Compare the tabulated recent data to frequencies of earthquakes by magnitude in Table 4.2 of the textbook. 3) Determine if the recent data is consistent with the textbook's relative frequencies of earthquakes of different magnitudes.

    Module 4 Question – Earthquakes

    Check out current/recent seismicity for the United States and Canada, or for the world, over the
    period of a) one week AND b) one month. 1) Tabulate by magnitude and 2) compare with Table
    4.2, Frequency of Earthquakes of Various Magnitudes, in the textbook. 3) Are the recent data
    consistent with respect to the relative frequencies of earthquakes of different sizes? The USGS
    website http://earthquake.usgs.gov/ provides links to the relevant data. Specifically, use the
    ‘Search Earthquake Catalog’ page, https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/search/ to access the
    necessary data.

    Background reading: Textbook, Chapter 4, heading: Seismic Waves and Earthquake Severity.

    Additional Tips:

    Here is a possible way to tabulate by magnitude.

    Magnitude # of Earthquakes in 7 days # of Earthquakes in 30 days


    >8
    7-7.9
    6-6.9
    5-5.9
    4-4.9
    3-3.9
    2.5-2.9
