Hazard Field Trip Project: Part 1 Instructions

Hazard Mapping Project Spans Weeks 4-5.

Week 4 Atmosphere Map Set DUE TUESDAY JULY 14th 11:59 pm PST

Week 5 Lithosphere Map set DUE TUESDAY JULY 21st 11:59 pm PST

Each week everyone will create and submit:

1. THREE Original DIGITAL MAPS (one map at a local, regional and global scale) that shows data on natural hazards in the atmosphere and Lithosphere

2. Three paragraphs written by you about the hazard you have mapped and description of the patterns seen on the maps 3. See the weekly modules for due dates for each of your map sets.

Watch this video tutorial. It goes through the process of making your own original maps and will answer many questions and concerns.

Why maps?

Maps are something that we all use in our daily lives whether we are using Google Mapsto divert our way around traffic, or trying to find a new restaurant with our in car navigation, or we are trying to follow a hand drawn map to get to a wedding reception.

For this project the maps you create must be original, that is you just didn't search Google images for maps already created by other people. You will be creating maps of areas that you choose, using data you choose, and you will format it with a scale bar, north arrow, title, and paragraph caption that are all original.

What is a Physical Geography Hazard?

A Natural Hazard is any naturally occurring event that can have a negative effect on people or the environment. Examples include hurricanes floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tornado's. These events are natural because they are a part of earths systems, but when they occur where people live, than they become a hazard to people. Find out more about hazards by checking out information from the USGS (http://www.usgs.gov/natural_hazards/) and the U.S.Federal Government (https://www.ready.gov/prepare-for-emergencies) .

Possible Hazard Topic Ideas include (but are not limited to): Week 4 Atmospheric Hazard Map set:

Lightning Tornadoes Hurricanes Climate Change

Week 5 Map Set Lithosphere: Landslides Volcanism Earthquakes Sinkholes & Subsidence

To complete this project, follow these instructions: 1. Choose a free map maker and play around with the available data.

2. Pick an appropriate hazard for the week from the list above. 3. Explore the mapping data provided in the links below to find an interesting pattern for your hazard. If no patterns emerge, then you may want to map a different data set or look in a different area (zoom in/out or focus on a different area) 4. Create 3 maps(one city scale, one state, one continental) showing the distribution of the hazard. Each map should be of the same hazard. If you choose sinkholes in week 5, then all three maps should show the distribution of sinkholes. 5. Capture an image of your completed map(or just a screen shot) and import it into a word processing program like Word or Pages where you can add a title, legend, any labels and a paragraph caption. 6. Write one paragraph(5 -10 sentences, college level writing) for each map explaining one or more of the following questions: What is the pattern shown(Where does it occur or not occur)? What process causes the pattern shown(Why does the hazard occur in some places and not others)? How dangerous is this hazard? How could this hazard be managed? Outside research should be conducted and cited 7. Submit all maps and paragraphs in a single file (PDF preferred)

This part of the project is basically asking you to create a series of thematic maps.Watch this short video (http://searchcenter.intelecomonline.net/playClipDirect.aspx? id=9A7254EDA56D7686D34A8A65FAE5E6AC0C083B651277FFF768A0C3E1E546CB089D88945190C5BE71) which explains what thematic maps are and what they look like.

What is this scale thing?

A map which depicts a small territory is referred to as a large scale map. This is because the area of land being represented by the map has been scaled down less, or in other words, the scale is larger. A large scale map only shows a small area, but it shows it in great detail. A map depicting a large area, such as an entire country, is considered a small scale map. In order to show the entire country, the map must be scaled down until it is much smaller. A small scale map shows more territory, but it is less detailed.

How will you make an original map set for each sphere?

In order to make a map you need a base map, and data. You will use a variety of sources such as National Map (http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/viewer/) , National Geographic Map Maker, (https://mapmaker.nationalgeographic.org/) Google Earth

(http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/agree.html) free download),Weather Underground Mapper (https://www.wunderground.com/wundermap) , ArcGIS Explorer (http://www.arcgis.com/explorer/) (requires creating a free account) to get base maps and data,NOAA National Hazard Viewer (http://maps.ngdc.noaa.gov/viewers/hazards/) , Historical Hurricane Tracker (http://www.nbcnews.com/id/30072578/ns/weather/t/historical-hurricane-tracker/#.V7yDFGBri01) , Tornado History Project (http://www.tornadohistoryproject.com/) , Water Risk Atlas (http://www.wri.org/applications/maps/aqueduct-atlas) , and Windyty (https://www.windyty.com/)

Your INDIVIDUAL Map Set Should Be original, and cite all outside data and sources Map the week's sphere hazard at local (1 city or county), regional (1 state or small country) and global (the entire U.S., a continent, or the world) scales. Contain a descriptive paragraph for each map (5-10 sentences, college level writing) which describes the hazard patterns, process and proposed solutions. Contain ascale bar (http://www.earthonlinemedia.com/ebooks/tpe_3e/essentials/scale.html) , north arrow, legend and descriptive title. Be easy to see and read.

Here are some pointers to help you create your maps and start thinking about your Map

Sets: Your map needs to be original, meaning you created it using an online tool where you chose the data to be mapped, the area and zoom level. You should not use an existing (e.g., jpg, png, gif) image of a map that has already been created by someone else. You need to do research to explain the patterns that you see. That is, you will need to discover the processes that create the map pattern. For example, if you see a line of volcanoes in the Pacific coast of Central America you will need to explain how the Cocos plate is subducting beneath the Caribbean plate in an oceanic-to-continental convergent plate boundary, how the sinking oceanic plate melts and rises, etc. All the information that you use in the descriptive paragraphs needs to be properly cited. It is best if you have a separate reference section at the end of your map set. You also need to cite the source or sources of your maps. Your maps need to have a scale bar, north arrow and descriptive title. In some tools such as the National Geographic Mapmaker, the scale bar shows up automatically. In others, you may need to draw it in. You may also need to draw in the north arrow. A descriptive title is one that describes the area covered by the map and its content. "Regional map" is not a descriptive title, "Volcanoes on the Pacific coast of Central America" is. You need to describe the hazard patterns, process and proposed solutions. Describe the pattern you see in each map (e.g., Most tornadoes occur in the South and lower Midwest). Describe the process that causes this pattern (e.g, Clashes of cold and warm air masses, moist conditions, formation of thunderstorms, flat,open land, etc.). Describe proposed solutions (e.g., Practice a tornado drill, keep safety supplies, heed warnings, go to the basement, etc.). Again, you will need to do research and cite your sources.

There should only be one hazard or physical geography phenomena per map set. Do not use more than one layer in a map set. If your local map shows areas of landslide susceptibility, then your regional and continental/global map should also show areas of landslide susceptibility. Make sure that each of your maps provides somewhat different information (different patterns and/or processes) so that you have something new to say for each of the different scales (zoom levels).

How will your project be graded?

The map and paragraph captions for each "sphere" will each be assessed based on simple rubric. You can find these rubrics in the submission areas for each. Please use them for reference.
