Mapping the Risk
Mapping the Risk is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 1: Geologic Hazards and Detection Criteria in Amplify Science (California) Grade 7.
Key Concepts
Not all earthquakes generate tsunamis. Historical data reveals that significant threats primarily arise from high magnitude earthquakes (typically above 7.0) occurring at subduction zones .
By analyzing maps of the Indian Ocean region , engineers identify specific zones where plates are converging. These high risk areas serve as the priority targets for sensor placement. Effective design relies on placing technology exactly where the geological hazard is most likely to originate.
