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 land form you enjoy or would like to visit and tell us a little bit about why you chose that land form for discuss.
2. Add to your study guide (Pick two areas of the state from the site above to compare and write a brief comparison of how these regions are alike and different tectonically. Where do you see erosion and weathering? What impacts have wind and water had? Are the land forms similar or different
3. Look through the Land forms website and use it to fill out your study guide.
Which land form do you find most interesting?
4. Look at Geology of Wind Cave and learn more about Wind Cave National Park. Add to your study guide and submit to the discussion board.
What did you find interesting about Wind Cave, either from the power point or the Park Service website?
5. Relative age is how scientists reconstruct what has happened and when in relation to other events.Read about Relative Age..Try the Relative Age Worksheet and submit answers to the dropbox.
How is relative age used to help determine what happened on earth long before
recorded history? Why do we care?
Take a look at Karst Topography and what causes these types of land forms. Then
investigate how surface water creates land forms and explore the processes involved in land form creation.Explain sorting, sedimentation, watersheds, flood control, Mass Wasting and how it occurs, and the differences between chemical and physical weathering.
6. Take a look at the video landslide detectives, answer the questions below and use
the resources in this lesson to complete your study guide. Submit your questions below to the dropbox.Describe the differences between deep-seated and shallow landslides.
• What are some dangers of landslides?
• How do landslides affect people?
• 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?
7. submit a comparison of landslides and avalanches using a venn diagram to the drop box. Choose Three points on how they are alike and Three points on how they are different. You may use the venn diagram template below or create your own
