Geology (and other Earth Sciences)
The test totals 100 points divided equally between two halves — on half on faults and earthquakes and the second half on river systems, erosion patterns and flood frequency analysis. There are also Google Earth files for both parts of the test, and you will need to complete your flood recurrence interval calculations in MS Excel. Be sure to copy your Google Earth work into the Test2 file and re-save it as a Google .kmz file using your last name and Test 2 in the file name. For example, Right-click on the folder and select "Save Place as Myname Test 2.kmz" Similarly, insert your last name into your Excel file, and be sure to attach both the Google kmz file and the Excel file along with the test sheet when you submit to Isidore.
You are on your honor. This is open-book, open-notes and open-prof. If you don’t understand the intent of any of the questions, feel free to stop by my office and I will help you better understand. Please do not work together — Tests with identical or nearly identical answers will receive a score of zero. These are real-life case studies, and I hope this will be an interesting learning experience more than just a test.
