Writing Assignment The objective of these assignments is for you to explore how geological factors impact society and how we in turn affect the environment around us. Investigate the environmental geology of Los Angeles, and will be writing a complete report, split into three separate assignments. In the first paper, describe the geological setting of […]
What is the average annual temperature range at Reykjavik?Yakutsk? Name two other places that would have different temperature patterns because of their contrasting proximity to the ocean.
ASSIGNMENT Why does the annual temperature range increase as the latitude increases? Although this situation is not always true, the three climographs show decreasing precipitation with latitude. Why is there potential for greater precipitation at lower latitudes? Land heats and cools more rapidly than water. Therefore. seasonal temperature variation is moderated at locations influenced by […]
Choose one nation-state anywhere in the world, even one that we didn’t go over in class. Create a brochure to inform people about the country you choose.
PowerPoint presentation on Yemen Choose one nation-state anywhere in the world, even one that we didn’t go over in class. Any country will do, but you can’t use the U.S. Create a brochure to inform people about the country you choose. This should be 10-12 slides of a PowerPoint.
Observe the differences between a normal and a reverse fault and the differences and similarities (if any) between a strike-slip and an oblique slip fault. Record your observations on how these pairs of faults are different and how they are similar.

Compare the types of minerals removed at the beginning of crystallization with those removed in the middle and end of crystallization (i.e., mafic versus felsic minerals).
Fractional Crystallization of Magma Objective In this exercise, you will gain an understanding of magmatic differentiation by fractional crystallization using a model magma chamber. The activity was adapted from materials developed by Dr. Karl Wirth at Macalester College (http://www.macalester.edu/geology/wirth/CourseMaterials.html) Introduction In lecture you learned about the importance of fractionation in generating the diversity of observed […]
