What Happens To A Mountain?
Question: What changes will happen to the mountain of soil over the course of a month
Hypothesis:  I think &#8230;

Your job is to go outside and be science investigators or in this instance GEOLOGIST. You are to go out and find examples of weathering, erosion, mass wasting taking place in our surroundings. You may also include examples of crustal change that have occurred. Take pictures of your findings and record the location [...]]]></description>

A fault is a large crack in the Earth&#8217;s crust where one part of the crust has moved against another part. This movement means that faults prove the Earth is an active place. They are signs of powerful forces deep underground.. Where the fault plane is sloping, the lower side is the hanging [...]]]></description>

Seismometers are the forward sentinels in those locations there earthquakes and volcanoes are active. When a volcano comes to life, scientists will place many seismometers in remote areas all around the volcano in order to monitor its activity. An increase in tremors is one [...]]]></description>

Background- An earthquake is the vibrations we feel when the earth&#8217;s crust suddenly moves. What causes these sudden, larger movements of the crust? The plates can stretch so far, but if they stretch farther than their elastic limit, they will break and release huge vibrations that can be felt large distances away.This project is worth [...]]]></description>
