EARTH SCIENCE Classes
4th and 6th Periods
WELCOME to a class which studies so many neat topics of interest rolled into one class!
Independent Study?
Did you hear about the recent earthquake in Indonesia? Were you aware that we live in an earthquake zone right here in Giles County? Our largest quake occurred on May 31, 1897 and measured 5.9 on the Richter. Please research additional information on this topic at your leisure
EARTHQUAKE IN GILES????????
Reports of an earthquake in Eastern Giles County on Jan. 24, 2007 did not register on seismic equipment at VA Tech. Instead, a small meteroite about the size of a grapefruit was credited for causing a sonic boom. For more information, visit "beyond the forecast" on www.wdbj7.com as reported by Brent Watts.
