Instructions: The extra credit project is due at the start of the final lecture Thursday, April 25th, and no late submission s will be accepted. The project is worth a maximum total of 10 extra points on one of your Exam grades. You may discuss the project and concepts generally with your classmates (e.g. what drives hurricane patterns), but you should not show anyone your actual maps. Therefore, each student's maps should be unique. I will check this, so complete this on your own and do not copy anyone else's work Follow each of the steps outlined below in constructing different components of an earth system on the three map sheets provided. The components should build upon each other, starting with the underlying Tectonic Plates and Landforms, then Global Circulation & Hazards, and finally, Climate and Biomes. For example, plate movement will influence the location of mountains, mountains will influence rain shadows, and rain shadows will influence the location of biomes. Complete the legend identifying each of the components that you have included on the map. A partial legend is provided for you as an example You will be graded on whether each component is well thought out, grounded in the geographic principles that operate on Earth, and the clarity of the presentation (e.g. are your maps visually pleasing and easy to interpret). Each of these earth system principles was discussed at some point in this class during the semester. Use your notes and text book as a reference. Partial credit will be awarded; however, you must turn in each of the map sheets and attempt to complete each of the components in order to receive any credit. Tectonic Plates and Landforms (Sheet 1) 1) Label ALL plate boundaries as one of the following: a) Oceanic-continental convergent b) Continental-continental convergent c) Divergent d) Transform 2) Label Subduction zones 3) Label the continents (use creative names!) 4) Draw and label two composite volcanos 5) Draw and label three mountain ranges (use creative names!). Draw the mountain ranges on Sheet 2 &3 also
