I did the Mt Pinatubo volcano eruption in the Phillipines in 1991. I think thats how u spell it. lol.

i did newcastle quake, its gud cause it also helps ya wit the dot point on intra plate earthquakes on aussie continent, there is also a heap of info on it

nearly everyone in my class did mount st helens in 1980..it's really easy to get info on..

LOL!!!





(It is, just hardly anybody does it, and alot of schools don't do it because there's not enough interest.)

When I did this assessment, I did the Anchorage (Alaska) earthquake (and the consequent tsunamis) that occured on the 27th of March, 1964. The main benefit of this was that it is very well documented both through text and illustration/photography (oh and there's a photo of a school split in half... my titlepage ).


Earth & Environmental Science is a real subject, albeit a very easy one. For anyone wondering what subjects to chose, I urge you to choose this one; for you will have a very easy subject (however, you still need to excert a little effort) but it yields good results (the perfect subject). It was a relaxing subject from the otherwise rushed pace of many of my other subjects.

u'll have to do 2 usually, safest to do a volcanic eruption and an earthquake. Mt Pinatubo and and Japanese earthquake should suffice. An EES is definately a subject to consider. It's easy, and if u put the effort in and get band 6, it's as good as any other science. another subject like this is 1unit religion. It scales as well as 3u maths

ive just found out i have to do a case study and i want to do well in this subject so i was wondering if you guys can help me pick a natural disaster and tell me how u went and how much info there is on each and if relates well to the topic and syllabus

 

[em_516]

erm..why don't you just use the examples already given? mt pinatubo, mt st helens and the newcastle earthquake are all really good case studies and are easy to find info on and relate to the syllabus etc. etc.

i COULD tell you of more natural disasters..but ees is completely out of my brain now lol..do any of those three and you're set..

yeah i had to do something like that a couple months back and i chose mt etna and i got 95 % so make sure u follow the assessment sheet so u dont miss out on marks

how hard is it to find information on the technologies for detecting earth movement. nowhere has a good general summary of exactly how they work. does anyone have anything on that stuff?

I can't remember exactly where it is on the site (it's been a while) but I do remember using this site for this dotpoint and getting quite a lot of good info.
