Choose an aspect of the Earth System that you thought was particularly interesting, and write about it (MAKE SURE IT IS ABOUT SOMETHING WE COVERED IN CLASS; SOMETHING RELEVANT ABOUT NATURE). Include what the basic components (“parts”) are, discuss some processes (“things that are happening”), and explore some ongoing interactions (“how some things are affecting other things”).Write at least 5 paragraphs of at least 5 “complete” and “meaningful” and “reasonably long” sentences each. The total word count needs to be at least 1000 words (Canvas provides a word count). Be sure to double-space between paragraphs.
Sources: At the bottom of the page, please list the websites/sources you visited for information (just the website address is okay, this is not a formal “Works Cited” section). Do NOT plagiarize; use your OWN words (I will check). Use at least 3 sources (outside of the course website and textbook). Do NOT use a language model to assist you. You do NOT need to cite sources within the essay.You might choose earthquakes (THIS IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE. CHOOSE WHATEVER YOU LIKE THAT IS RELEVANT TO THIS CLASS). What is particularly interesting about them to you? Why did you choose them?
You would need to address the “parts” involved, such as faults and energy waves (and more). You would then need to discuss the “things that are happening”, such as the waves moving through the ground and then shaking things up on the surface (and more). You would finally need to discuss “how some things are affecting other things”, such as the earthquake creating a tsunami, which affects people along coastlines (and more).
We learned about Tornoadoes. Hurricanes, Geomorphology,Continental Drift.
