Geologic Field Notebook will be collected and reviewed.
The following pages will be assessed:
Page 5: the plotting of the Earthquakes, Shield Volcanoes and Strato Volcanoes.
The plotting must be accurate and a "Legend" must be created showing what symbols you used for the 3 different types of events.
Also reviewed:
Page 1: diagrams and description of the sedimentary layer models showing understanding of Geologic Time.
Page 3: measurements of displacement from the strike-slip models of the San Andreas Fault, accurate average calculated, and notes demonstrating your understanding of how much the fault moves per year.
Page 6: completion of data tables demonstrating your understanding of viscosity and how it relates to volcanic rocks.
Page 7: accurate data and calculations of velocity of Shield Volcano eruptions. Clear notes demonstrating your understanding of the concepts taught, including "hot spots"
Page 9: Clear notes demonstrating your understanding of the model of explosive Strato volcanoes worked on in class. Explanations include the build up and release of gases in addition to lava.
