PRESENTATION OUTLINE
THIS IS THE DEVICE JOSHUA BLOOM INVENTED.
THESE ARE THE TECTONIC PLATES
THIS IS DAMAGE AFTER AN EARTHQUAKE.
We couldn't figure out how to put a link on this presentation. The website we found the story on is listed on the source page.
Seismology is the study of earthquakes. If you become a seismologist you would study things like; What causes earthquakes and why do they happen where they do? , How are earthquakes recorded?, and How can you tell where an earthquake happened?.
They will use seismometers to measure the frequency and amplitude of the seismic waves produced when an earthquake occurs. They also measure the deformation of the earth's surface around fault zones.
You need geology to be a seismologist. That way you would know where fault lines are in the world and predict where an earthquake might happen.
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A SEISMOLOGIST
If you were a seismologist your average day would probably look like this:
•First you would wake up and get ready for an exciting day.
•Next you might head off to check some earth quake monitoring stations.
•Then you would analyze the data you got from the station.
•When you're done analyzing the data you would draw conclusions and maybe draw connections from what you found out today to some of your other long term research projects.
• Lastly you would head off to bed after a tiring day.
UC Berkeley Professer Builds $100 Earthquake Early Warning System
UC Berkeley Professer Joshua Bloom built an early earthquake warning system with a mini computer, a wifi adapter, a speaker, and an SD card. It cost him $100 compared to Berkeley seismo labs 80 million dollar technology. Although blooms version cost much less to make the device warned him 5 seconds later.
