Examine the geologic activity happening all around you! Examine Southern California's fault systems and look at recent earthquake activity using online tools from the US Geological Survey. Participants will learn how to interpret an earthquake's magnitude and conduct an experiment to help them understand the mechanics of earthquake faults.
