THE GEOLOGICAL SCALE OF TIME

30/1/13

Work to do:
- We have to explain earth's life and relation it with a period of time, for example: one day, one year...
- We have to do groups of three people. And every person of the group have a task: one have to do the mathematic part, the other have to llok for all the datas, and the last one have to do the stetic part.

MATHEMATIC PART
We have to do diferent covertions to know what period of time corresponds for example to a one minut.

DATA PART
Search all the important parts of the history of the Universe like the firts cells, the apparition of the dinosaurs....

STETIC PART
Choose the period of time or the place you want to represent.
- 27 years 
- One week
- All the " Riera"
- Around the world
- Amazonic river
- Beer
- 90 years.

What are we going to do?

•  Talk about and organize the previous installments
• Clarify what’s left to hand over.

Earthquakes:

Earthquakes can’t be prevented. They can’t be measured in a detailed way either; all the scales we have to describe them are subjective, or relative, never exact. Earthquakes aren’t dangerous as such, but they provoke tsunamis, fires (because of gas explosions) and volcanoes explosions, which actually kill and hurt people and damage buildings and landscapes.

   We don’t have a lot of earthquakes in Catalonia, but they are more usual in places like Murcia or Italy (mostly the south) because they are near plate tectonics borders.

   The most devastating damage ever provoked by an earthquake occurred in Crete: a volcano erupted because of the earth-shaking movement that broke the internal layers of the volcano and made it explode.

Group work: 2009 Aquila Earthquake

• Decide how would we deal with the geologists problem and account for why would we lock them up or why we wouldn’t.
• Discuss about and organize the previous ideas.
• We receive more information about the case (newspaper articles of the moment).
• How would we end with the case and why.
