  1. 1.

    What is paleoseismology?

    Hint

    Think about how geology can tell us about past events.

  2. 2.

    Name one method used in paleoseismology.

    Hint

    Consider the tools scientists use to study the earth.

  3. 3.

    What is the primary focus of paleoseismology?

    Given a fault with recorded trenching data indicating multiple layers displaced by earthquakes, how would you analyze this data for estimating future earthquake risks?

    Hint

    Consider how geological layers can tell the timing of events.
