Geology Question

Geology 4L: Final Paper/PresentationGoal: To understand the spheres that make up the Earth system and the processes through which they interact.Note: Your final project has two parts: a short paper and a set of slides outlining your project topic’s main points. You will also have an extra credit option to record a short presentation of your slides.Step 1: Choose Your Topic and Create a ProposalUsing what you have learned this semester in Geology 4L, you will choose an event or process about which you are interested in learning more (Some examples include: Mount St. Helen eruption, super volcano eruptions, wildfires, increasing CO2 levels in the atmosphere, the formation of diamonds, Hurricane Maria, a large meteor impact, etc.). Make sure to pick a topic that that is specific, but large enough to affect at least four of Earth’s spheres that we discussed this semester (i.e. atmosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, cosmosphere).Part of your grade will depend on your topic proposal and references, so make sure you follow all of the instructions.Once you decide on a topic, you will submit a brief topic proposal. This can be an outline for your paper or a paragraph stating what you will be writing about, why it interests you, and what spheres you will cover in your paper.Along with your proposal/outline, include at least two references you intend to use for their paper. Your instructor will approve your topic and references and may give you some advice or suggestions if you need it. Email your instructor if you are confused or need help choosing a topic!Step 2: Writing Your PaperYour paper should: 1) focus on how your chosen event or process affects at least four spheres and 2) include as many connections as possible to what you have learned in the Geology 4L labs. 3) All papers must include information on how this event affects/is affected by human activity. Use the diagram below to help you think about the types of interactions that could occur
