3. The map shows the South American tectonic plate.

Mark on the map where:
a- an earthquake would be most likely on land; use the letter E.

Challenge
The magnitude of an earthquake is measured on a times 10 scale.
Every time the magnitude number increases by 1, the earthquake becomes 10 times stronger.
For example, a magnitude 5 earthquake is 10 times stronger than magnitude 4.
a- How many times stronger is magnitude 6 than magnitude 5?
…………………………………10 Times ………………………………

b- How many times stronger is magnitude 7 than magnitude 4?

………………………101010= 1000 Times !………………………………

c- Earthquakes can happen under the oceans.

State where these earthquakes are most likely to occur under the oceans.
 At plate boundaries ………………………

d- Earthquakes under the oceans can occur hundreds of kilometers from land.
Explain how these earthquakes can result in damage on land.
 Either tsunami or idea that large magnitude earthquake in the ocean can
cause shocks on land that is closest to the location of the earthquake.
