Year 9 Earthquake Essay Research

You have been asked to research information that will help you answer the question/hypothesis - ''The impact of earthquakes depends on the wealth of the country affected'' (20 marks).
We have discussed in class that you need to colect specific detail about at least two earthquakes. Horizons page 10 and 11 details Kobe in Japan and Bam in Iran as two examples you might use (an LEDC and an MEDC are a good place to start).
Below are some links that you might want to use.
Remember that you are trying to develop you independent research skills and that you should make notes to bring to the lesson AND keep referring to the question as you collect these notes. I would not just print stacks of paper; note taking is a skill!

Wikipedia is always a good place to start research (though watch out for mistakes!) Look here for information about KOBE and here for BAM

Georesources has an excellent page on KOBE

The BBC website is always excellent for this type of essay. Click here for KOBE and here for BAM

The USGS website has some broad information about the KOBE earthquake and Bam
