Earthquakes and richter scale

This week we learnt about earthquakes. 
We read a story called Quake, Rattle and Roll which helped us learn more about earthquakes.

We learnt about the richter scale. We drew one on the board and labeled it with what kind of earthquake it is (strong, moderate, small, minor, unfelt). We learnt that each level is 10x times bigger than the previous level. 

This is our definition of a richter scale.

This is our picture of how a tsunami is made through an earthquake. 

And here is our picture of what happens when two continental plates collide.

Here is Lopi, Paula and Kordell explaining what the picture is about.

These are our technical words. Reign helped us understand that continental means continents, and that there are 7 continents which are Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Australia, Antartica and Africa.
