To thhis end, scientists and en ngineers placce instrumen nts in structuures and nearrby on the grround to measure how the sstructures resspond during g an earthqu uake to the motion m of the ground benneath. Every time a stronng earthhquake occurs, the new information i gathered enaables engineeers to refinee and improvve structural designs and d buildding codes. Today T there are instrumeents installed d in hospitalls, bridges, ddams, aqueduucts, and othher structures throuughout the earthquake-prone areas of o the United d States incluuding other sseismically aactive regionns of the natioon. TASK K STATEMEN ENT/PROBLE EM BASED LEARNING G/REAL WO ORLD PROBL LEM: After this unit, you and yo our group members m will explore eaarthquake haazards and damage to bbuildings by y consstructing mo odel building gs and subjeecting the bu uildings to gground vibraation (shakinng similar too earthquakee vibraations) on a small shakee table. The buildings b wiill be construucted by twoo- or three-pperson teamss of studentss.

These two huge domes were created as Earth’s mantle pushed up the overlying crust. As the crust was forced upward, the resulting tension cracked the crust, resulting in the eruption of volcanoes and the formation of large rifts. The crust continued to pull apart, forming rift valleys. These valleys have become deeper and are currently becoming filled with sediments, igneous rock, and water. 1. How many million years ago did the Ethiopian and Kenyan Domes form? ______mya 2. On the diagram, draw two curved arrows, one on each side of the dashed line, to show the direction of movement of the convection currents within the asthenosphere that caused the formation of the dome and the rift valley near location X. 3.
