Jarvis broke new ground today with his TALK TIME on
EARTHQUAKES.

Like always, he was VERY well prepared and had LOTS to tell.

First he showed us his INTRODUCTION that he had created on the computer. He told us how he used different colours and put his title in a TEXT BOX.
Next Jarvis showed us his book about EARTHQUAKES.
We heard about what an earthquake is
and saw pictures that showed how earthquakes happen and the damage they cause.
(Click on the picture of the EARTHQUAKE book to learn more about EARTHQUAKES)
Then Jarvis took us to the computer so we could look at a website that shows where EARTHQUAKES are happening around the world.

Jarvis explained how to READ the map.
The YELLOW circles showed where EARTHQUAKES had occurred in the last 2 weeks, the ORANGE circles showed EARTHQUAKES that happened yesterday and the RED circles showed EARTHQUAKES that had happened TODAY!
IF YOU CLICK ON THE ABOVE PICTURE YOU TOO CAN SEE WHERE EARTHQUAKES ARE HAPPENING IN OUR WORLD.
