In today’s lesson, Ms. Suzanne Camilleri introduced the topic of earthquakes, emphasizing the difference in spelling for effect. Students explored the causes and effects of earthquakes, including the role of tectonic plates and the pressure that leads to seismic activity. The lesson featured a video explaining earthquake-prone regions, the use of seismographs to measure earthquakes, and the scale used by seismologists to classify their magnitude. The largest recorded earthquake occurred in Valdivia, Chile, in 1960, with a magnitude of approximately 9.5.
