Create a travel brochure advertising travel to a biome of your choice. Include at least six photos, drawings or other types of artwork that help describe and promote your biome vacation spot.
BIOME BROCHURE PROJECT A travel brochure/presentation gives detailed information about a certain travel destination. It will usually explain the location, unique features, things to do, and how to travel there. They also give information as to the climate, weather at different times of year and best times to travel to the area in order to […]

How does this lab help to represent what happens in estuaries? How does this type of environment impact the organisms that live there (esturaries)?
Estuary Salinity Lab Procedure: Place a few drops of red food coloring to a clear glass that contains cold water from your refrigerator (less than half full). In a separate glass of the same type, make a saltwater solution using the same amount of water as you did in step 1. Heat that water in […]
Why is it important that geologists like Professor Bill Dietrich and his team continue to study landslides? How should the issue of changing property lines be addressed in landslide-prone areas?
1. Take a look at the different parts of the state, watch the vidoes and explore areas that you may not be familiar with, and then explain what Georgia landform you enjoy or would like to visit and tell us a little bit about why you chose that landform fo discuss. 2. Add to your […]
By the year 2060 would you say the U.S. population would be experiencing a rapid growth, slow growth, no growth or negative growth in population? Why?
Part 1 – Population Explosion 1. Look at the U.S. Census Bureau’s World Population Clock gives an up to the secondestimate of the world population. By how much does the population grow in 1 minute? How many people is that per second? Per week? 2. Using the U.S. Census Bureau’s State and County Quick Facts, […]
What has been the average rate and direction of seafloor spreading in mm per year (mm/yr) west of the Juan de Fuca Ridge, from B to A?
Lab 2 Tectonic Plates I. Using a pencil, drawn line on the seafloor to show where new ocean crust and lithosphere is forming now (zero millions of old). • years Id) Using Figs. 2.1, 2.3, and 2.12 as guides, label the segments of your line that are the Juan de Fuca Ridge and Gorda Ridge […]

Determine how far the earthquake was from each seismic station, use the P-S time interval for a seismic station and read off the corresponding distance from the P-S time-interval graph.
Table 1. Using Seismograms to Locate an Earthquake Observations: Look at the area and read the descriptions associated with each location. Think about what each statement implies about possible earthquake hazards for that location. The blue-gray triangles represent the location of seismic stations in the area. The P-S Time Interval for the three stations (Mesaview, […]
Plot the planes of the limbs of an antiformal fold dipping at 50N/101 and 605/065. The point where the two planes intersect indicates the plunge of the fold. What is it?
Stereonets 1. Plot the orientations of the following stretching lineations, and determine their plunge and plunge direction: a. pitches 06° N on 351 °/37° E b. pitches 79° W on 285°/62° N c. pitches 42° N on 358°/86°E Also, plot the poles to the above planes on your stereonet. 2. Two fractures have the following […]
