How an earthquake affects an area


Discuss the below:

San Andreas the movie vs. Reality

Similar to your comparison paper on Mt. Pinatubo vs. Dante's Peak, we have watched the movie San Andreas and will :ompare it to the events depicted to real life. You have already watched a Nova documentary (NOVA: Killer Quakes) to provide a real-world example of how an earthquake affects an area, use this and background from class to give a brief )verview of how this movie depicted the earthquake and resulting disaster.

Some things to consider:

• How the Earthquake is depicted, including shaking and duration.

• Talk about the hazards shown, including how the buildings hold up to this shaking.

• How reasonable it would be to have a tsunami resulting from an Earthquake along the San Andreas fault.

• Mention where the film gets things right and where it gets things wrong.

• Overall how well this film does depicting an Earthquake event.

Briefly (1 to 3 pages) write up a response to compare and contrast these two films, addressing these questions.
