  1. Starter In pairs write down 5 things you know about measuring earthquakes.

  2. Team worker Work with others to obtain the best outcome. Can the use of Richter and Mercalli be compared and justifed? To be able to compare and contrast methods of measuring magnitude Learning objective

  3. 1) To know how the Richter and Mercalli Scales work. (Grade C)2) To be able to show the advantages and disadvantages of using each Scale. (Grade B)3) To evaluate the similarities and differences between the Scales. (Grade A-A*) Learning outcomes

  4. To know how the Richter and Mercalli Scales work.(Grade C) Learning Outcome 1 Using Pages 107 and 108 outline the following…. What technique is used to measure the magnitude? The progression up the scale (an increasing magnitude) A comparison / contrasting of the Mercalli Scale and associated Richter Scale Point

  5. To be able to show the advantages and disadvantages of using each Scale. (Grade B) Learning Outcome 2 • Through a group discussion on your table and using page 107-8 outline the following…… • Advantages of the Richter Scale • Advantages of the Mercalli Scale • Disadvantages of the Mercalli Scale • Disadvantages of the Richter Scale • It is crucial to find direct links and compare and contrast the things you decide.

  6. To evaluate the similarities and differences between the Scales. (Grade A-A*) Learning Outcome 3 To assess this you should complete the following exam question and extension work.

  7. Discuss the following statements. PLENARY “There’s no need for the Richter Scale” “Even the most accuarate observations for the Mercalli Scale still depends upon ….. before two earthquakes use of the scale ould be compared
