One of the next topics we will examine in this course is Plate Tectonics. An understanding of this topic will help us understand the cause and locations of earthquakes.
Last night there was a strong, 7.2 on the Richter Scale, earthquake in Bohol Island in the Philippines. The latest reports suggest that least 90 people have died in this quake (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-202_162-57607496/philippines-earthquake-leaves-scores-dead/)
Here is a link to an article with many photos showing the devastating power of earthquakes.
