SOILS AND EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE
Create a Google Doc titled “Soil Types and the Danger of Earthquakes”. At the top of the page include your full name, period, and date. Place the assignment title underneath. Then use the links provided to answer the accompanying prompts using not less than five sentences each. Use 12 or 14 pt. Arial font and organize your answers into four distinct sections corresponding to each prompt. Add graphics if you wish, just keep them reasonable in size. Your answers must be stand alone paragraphs. Each paragraph is expected to be progressive and build on knowledge gained in previous paragraphs. Delete each question on your Google Doc when you are done, leaving only your four responses.

While gardening is not the issue here, why might Florida soils be carefully considered by seismologists and engineers? The most important section is “Working in Your Florida Sois”. Use direct references to the text in support of your answer. Florida soils may be carefully considered by seismologists and engineers because Florida’s soil is mostly sand. This soil is only found in Florida and it covers the majority of the state. Florida’s soil is called Myakka, “and is actually our official state soil.” Since the soil is so rare around the world, Florida must take extremely good care of it. Therefore, it should be carefully considered and …show more content…
Use your prior knowledge and information illustrated on this Earthquake Hazard Map to explain why architects should be more concerned with the danger of hurricanes than the danger of earthquakes in Florida. Remember, the tops of houses are above ground and exposed to the wind. The foundations of houses are built in the soil below ground and support the structure above. Refer directly to the linked map in your discussion (click on the “Maps” button). Be specific. Make sure to read the small section “How to Read the Maps” (click on the “How to Read Maps” button) so that you understand the level of hazard designations. Architects should be more concerned with the danger of hurricanes than the danger of earthquakes in Florida because the maps show they are not likely to experience severe shaking. But, since it is not experiencing high intensities, it is higher up. The wind tends to be more severe at higher altitudes. Therefore, Florida may experience higher wind intensities than
