They trigger killer tidal waves called tsunamis. Yet most earthquakes are too weak to feel. What causes earthquakes? And what makes the difference between a killer quake and a harmless one? Learn more about earthquakes with these thirteen fun experiments you can do yourself. You’ll think like a seismologist as you build models of faults, study earthquake-proof structures, and even try to predict the next “big one.”
