Lab Content 1. Insurance Problem & Solution: Imagine that in your work as an insurance company executive you have been reassigned to head up the Tacoma, Washington office of your company, Denyallclaims Insurance Co. Although Tacoma is located about 50 miles from the volcanic mountain Mount Rainier, other company executives in Denyallclaims have reassured you that the volcano has not erupted for a long time, and there is no risk associated with the volcano if you choose to live in Tacoma or its beautiful mountainous suburbs.You decide to check things out for yourself, and log on to the Internet to search for volcanic hazards associated with Mt. Rainier, Washington. The following are questions you want answered, and which you should answer for this assignment.  When was the last time Mt. Rainier had an eruption? Are you sure? Check more than one source. Are there any types of volcanic hazards associated with Mt. Rainier that could affect you in the future if you were living in the area of Tacoma or its suburbs? If so, what types of hazards have affected the Tacoma area in the past? Considering that the summit area of Mt. Rainier is covered to a large extent by glacial ice, would residents of the Tacoma area be threatened in any way by a small eruption from the volcano that only sent a few lava flows down the flanks, none reaching more than 1 km from the summit? If so, why, and if not, why not? Give the URL(s) where you found your information. Ensure that your answers utilize location maps, hazard outlines, useful photographs to capture your research AND knowledge of plate tectonics, igneous rocks/minerals and volcanic activity. 5.

Part 2: Obtaining a Topographic Map The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has a database called TopoView that keeps all topographic maps created since the USGS began mapping the nation’s topography in 1879. As the landscape has changed, maps have been updated, and many have been created at different scales to show different features of the landscape for different purposes. The topographic map you will need for your project should be the most recent version of the map in your location and should be at a scale of 1:24000 to show you the features you will need to report on. Follow the instructions to obtain your map for your project (and feel free to repeat this process for acquiring any map you may want in the future!). Go to the USGS topoView website by following this link: https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/topoview/ Along the right side of the page there is a red button with mountains and contour lines that says “View and Download maps now”. Click the button. This will take you to a new page with a map of the US on the left and a search box on the right. You may read over the Getting Started instructions if you need them. In the search box at the top right of the page, enter the name of your national park. A dropdown box will appear with a location. Click the location. Depending on your park, there may be more than one location listed, as your park may span across several topographic quadrangles. That is ok; you may browse through these selections and pick the area you would like to use. If you only have one location choice, pick that one. Once your location has been selected, you will see a number of map choices listed. These are all of the maps, young and old, at different scales, that have been created for your location. Scroll down to the bottom to find the most recent map at a 1:24000 scale. Click that selection. Once selected, several buttons will appear: file types, zoom options, an info button, etc. There will be 4 file types offered: JPEG, GeoTiff, KMZ, and a GeoPDF. A JPEG will be a low resolution picture of the map, the GeoTiff file will generally be a storage tool for satellite and aerial imagery data, the KMZ file will open with Google Earth and have map information overlayed onto an interactive Google Earth landscape, and the GeoPDF will be a high resolution image of the map that will allow you to zoom in and see features on the map without you having to print a large quadrangle. For this exercise, you will need to download the JPEG file and the GeoPDF of your location. Part 3: Making Geologic Observations using your Topographic Map Open your downloaded JPEG image. This is the smallest file type of your topographic map and should therefore be easy to include in this document and keep this document a reasonable file size. Copy and paste this image into the space below so your instructor can see the map you are working with. Resize it to fit on the page and choose to wrap the text Top and Bottom to prevent any overlap of your image with your text. Use the GeoPDF to answer the remaining questions. What is the name of your chosen quadrangle? What are the latitude coordinates along the northern border of this map? What are the longitude coordinates along the northern border of this map? What is the contour interval of this map? How do you know? List 3 major topographic features you see on your map. For each, describe how you know what the feature is on the map. Remember that a topographic feature can include, but is not limited to, mountains, valleys, depressions, ridges, streams, volcanoes, canyons, lakes, etc. **Topographic features are not manmade structures such as roads, buildings, hiking trails, etc.** Look carefully over your map and pick out a major stream on the map. Write the stream name, describe it’s direction of streamflow, and how you know what direction it is flowing. Look over your map carefully and find an area where the topography changes. Using a 5-inch-wide sheet of scrap paper, make tick marks along the contour lines and write in the elevations in this area. This will give you the information you need to create a topographic profile. You may need to complete the lab in this unit before you attempt to create a profile here so you can gain a better understanding for drawing a topographic profile. Once you have the information you need, draw a topographic profile of your area on the grid below. **Sketching a topographic profile is shown in the video “Making a Digital Profile” as well as a tutorial video included in the lab section of this module** Now that you have some idea of what the topography on your landscape is doing, you can make a more refined profile using a topographic profile generator. For this activity, you will use ArcGIS to create a digital profile. Use the following link: https://www.arcgis.com/apps/Profile/index.html?appid=fb052ab397f045ea999525f6b57e702e Click the magnifying glass on the left side of the page to open the search box. Type in the name of your national park. You may need to zoom in or out of the area and browse around to find the topographic features seen on your selected topographic map. You may also want to play with creating different profiles of different sizes to get an idea of the topography in the general area. To do this, click the pencil button in the grey box at the bottom of the page. Click once to begin drawing a line and extend the line to where you want the profile to end, then double click. This will generate a topographic profile. Once you are comfortable with using the topographic profile generator, create a topographic profile in the same area as the topographic profile you drew in the previous question. Screenshot your topographic profile and include the image in the space below. Make sure to crop your image so that only the digital profile is showing and choose to wrap the text Top and Bottom to prevent any overlap of your image with your text. Compare the digital profile with the profile you drew by hand. Was your drawn profile accurate? How do topographic profiles help you to understand the topography of your map area and national park in general? To adequately explain this, you will need to describe the character of the landscape, as observed by the behavior of the contour lines on the map and what you observe on the topographic profiles. Finally, using what you have learned through this activity, briefly describe the geologic setting this topographic area is in and how that has contributed to the features you observe on the topographic map. To do this, you may want to discuss rock type and/or tectonic setting and how each may contribute to what you are observing. To get to know more about the geologic setting of your area, you may also want to conduct some additional research using your national park’s website, the general national park website, the USGS website, or another credible source of geologic information. Cite any additional sources used to help you with your answer.

Living with Earthquakes Answer & make Comments within Discussion Board of Blackboard ONLY. What's your Perspective on Earthquakes As we all know, earthquakes are a daily part of living on planet earth. Earthquakes have been around as long as planet earth has been around. This has allowed continental masses to grow and human civilizations to prosper. Unfortunately an earthquake in Turkey-Syria a few years ago, resulted in the lost of human life (about 50,000 people). Because of some excellent geological field work, there is a mapped fault zone in North America called the Cascadia Subduction Zone (see maps below) that on average, produces a 9.0 or larger magnitude earthquake about every 400-600 years, although intervals have been as low as 200 years and as high as 1,000 years. The southern zone has earthquakes on average about every 240 years and has a 40% chance of a major earthquake (8-8.5) in the next 50 years, and a 10-15% chance of a magnitude 9.0 within the next 50 years. The last major earthquake was 1700 so we are 323 years since that date. https://youtu.be/nZs4yCyxyFk
