This assignment addresses Learning Outcome SLO 2 & Student Performance Objective SPO 5, and General Education Outcome 2.

Directions

For your Initial Post due by Sunday at 11:59 PM PST (2 point):

1. Research and find a credible map of a specific physical geography phenomena (from the lithosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere or atmosphere).

2. Post a new reply to this discussion board with the map (as an attached .doc, .pdf, or functioning web link), and citation.

Examples of credible maps of a speci?c physical geography phenomena:

For your Response to at least 2 classmates due by Tuesday at 11:59 PM PST (4 points each – 8 points total):

1. Review several of your peers maps and then the posts in which to reply (in your own words, college level writing) with the following information:

Research the map pattern and process. Identify the geographic pattern(s) on the map. Identify the process in the map, and describe your hypothesis about what is specifically causing the pattern to occur and why? Identify a research question that you have after thinking about the pattern and processes in the map. Your TWO replies may include the following language: “The map shows_______ pattern.” There seems to be a pattern on the map in these locations ___________.” My hypothesis why that pattern would occur is ________________.” After seeing this map I have the following research questions _________________.” Your Instructor will monitor the posts and replies and provide feedback using the detailed rubric below.
