The Earth's crust provides clues about the processes happening above our heads and below our feet which shape the surface of the planet we call home. Do you know where to look for those clues? Hitch a ride using GE to any one of the following locations. Once there, use your prior knowledge to name the components of the physical geography that you see, the process(es) that led up to their creation, and suggest what might happen next as the dynamic processes that has been shaping the Earth continue their seemingly tireless work.
As always, start your trip in the AAE's backyard, the Mojave Desert. Assuming that you have opened GE and made the changes addressed above, find the Search arrow in the upper left corner of the GE window and open it by clicking on it. Once open click on the "Fly To" option. To travel on GE to AAE's campus in the middle of the Mojave Desert of Southern California, copy and paste the following latitude and longitude (lat, long) of 34°31'58.81"N, 117°16'44.16"W into the text box in GE's Fly To search engine (click on the magnifying glass/or tap the enter key to activate your search... hop). You will be "flown" to the middle of the our Mojave River Campus. Zoom out using the "-" minus key (zoom in using the "+" key) and explore around the campuses environs, getting close enough to see some of its surface features and plant life. The arrow keys will also help you navigate in any compass direction (ie. NEWS). Use some of the features of GE to "mess around" a bit and see what GE can add to your experience before leaving the campus and visiting examples of how humans have used our planet' resources.
[COOL HINT: Once you have "flown to" one of the sites below, go up to the GE's toolbar, find "View" and scroll down the drop-down menu and "check" Historical Imagery" to view a image of your selection from the past. This is a good way to track "change over time".]
On a piece of lined paper, (1) number it for the number of sites below. Next, use GE to "Fly to each site. Once at the designated location, move around the site and "take in" the geologic landscape. Now, for the processes that you observe direct evidence for, (2) list those processes. Now, if you can, (3) provide a place name for the site that those living in the area would recognize.
