Lab02 - Instructions

Geography 208 Lab 2: Endogenic Processes and Landforms Due: Week 8 (Sep 25-29) before your lab session INSTRUCTIONS on FORMAT and SUBMISSION:  Each individual must submit their own report, written in their own words.  Use the “Lab02 – Report Template” in OnQ to write your answers. This will make it easier for the TA to mark. Please present your work in a clear and logical fashion.  Submit in OnQ under “Assessments” > “Assignments” > “Lab 01” as a Word or PDF. We will not accept photos or HEIC file types. Assignments submitted as this type will be marked late until it is resubmitted as a Word or PDF document.  Each figure and table you include needs to have a caption that clearly describes what is shown in the figure or table . Note a figure/table caption is more than a figure title! A properly formulated figure caption would describe the data/information presented so that the reader can understand the results, and derive their own meaning from this, without having to read or refer to the accompanying text.  Note that this course makes use of Turnitin, a third-party application that helps maintain standards of excellence in academic integrity. When you submit your assignments through OnQ, your assignment will be subject to a scan by Turnitin, for the purpose of detecting plagiarism. You will be given a similarity score and will be able to view this. You will also have the opportunity to revise and resubmit if you find that you have a high similarity score. You should not need to cite sources beyond the text book, lectures or assigned readings. However , if you do make use of other resources you need to provide a proper in text citation (e.g. Author, YEAR) and a full reference in a separate reference list at the end of your report. Failure to cite source of information or knowledge is plagiarism, which is a breach of academic integrity . You may choose any referencing format, but must use it consistently. See examples below: Journal article: (Author, …. (YEAR) Title, Journal title , volume , pages) Medeiros, A. S., Wood, P., Wesche, S. D., Bakaic, M., & Peters, J. F. (2017).

GPHY 208 Lab 2 2 / 7 Assignment: Tectonic plate motion and tectonic and volcanic landforms This exercise uses the map of tectonic plates (Figure 1) and Google Earth to study the distribution and types of plate junctions and their relationships to different landforms. Refer to your notes, or textbook if you are uncertain about the relationships between plate boundaries and landforms associated with them. 1. Using the world map of lithospheric plates shown in Figure 1: a. Locate the country of Iran on your map of tectonic plates . Name the type of plate boundary that exists along the southern border and coast of Iran , and briefly discuss the type of landforms AND hazards would you expect to find there? ( 3 marks ). b. Using Google Earth find Iran, and searching the area of the plate boundary, find an example of a landform that supports your statement above. Provide a map/figure of this landform (1 mark) , along with the appropriate figure caption and/or annotation (2 marks) . In your figure caption, justify why this landform supports your statement on the type of plate boundary and feature(s)…you may want to refer to the lecture notes. Don’t forget to include the source! (2 marks) . TIP: You can “Save Images” in Google Earth and create elevation transects using the “add path” tool, then right-clicking it under “Places” and selecting “Show elevation profile”. 2. Given Using the world map of lithospheric plates shown in Figure 1: a. Locate New Zealand . Name the type of plate boundary that exists along the southern island , and briefly discuss the type of landforms AND hazards would you expect to find there? ( 3 marks ). b. Using Google Earth find the following location in New Zealand: 45°52'6.00"S, 168°27'53.00"E. Provide a map/figure of this landform, along with an appropriate figure caption and/or annotation that identifies the landform and its genesis (5 marks) 3. Using Google Earth go to the following coordinates: 40°44'31.06"N, 76°50'9.88"W. a. Discuss the nature of the landscape in this region and the tectonic processes responsible for it (i.e. large scale features running NE to SW, looking at approximately a 150-200km eye altitude). (2 marks) b. Identify the curved (U or V shaped) landform (1 mark) you observe at the coordinates You will want to zoom in to at least 20km Eye altitude to properly view the landform and take a look at different angles and view points. Provide justifications for your answer. ( 2 marks )
