Discuss and describe the geology of your region and location (state and local area, or country and local area - if you are overseas). Make sure you address the following topics in geologic relation to your region:
• Location (absolute - latitude & longitude - and - relative location in relation to global or national setting)
• Tectonic plate setting
• Plate boundary location
• Terrain or topography description
• Past or present glaciation
• Natural hazards
• Bedrock and surface material
• Mineral and energy resources
• Drainage basin and groundwater
• Water quantity and quality
You may use materials from the textbook and internet sources, including the USGS, state geological offices, scientific organizations, and local government offices, but all sources must be cited in proper APA-style. Feel free to use graphics (graphs, maps, diagrams, photos, satellite images, etc) where appropriate to support your descriptions of the local geology. Do not cut-and-paste as the study must be in your own words.
