Nee help doing a 10-20 powerpoint slide today
Project: Houston’s Faults.
Students will carry out Internet research on faults in and around Houston Texas. Your research should look at the following aspects related to faults.
· The origin of faults in the Houston area
· The distribution of faults in the area
· The type of faults (normal, reverse, strike slip etc.)
· How the faults impact city planning (location of airports, major highways, stadiums, city center, sewage lines etc. in relation to the major faults)
· Faults and earthquakes
· As a geoscience student, how can your knowledge of the origin, distribution and types of fault be useful to city planners?
Students will present this information in the form of a power point slide. Your power point should include all relevant information including sketches, photos, maps and should have a reference section.
EXAMPLE ON HOW YOU CAN FORMAT YOUR PRESENTATION: you will create a slide show then print it out and turn it in a black folder. You do not need to send it to me via email
1st slide Intro: What are faults? (types of faults; normal, reverse, strike slip etc)
*have figures but let them stand alone (meaning the should be on there on slide)
2nd slide Faults in Houston Texas
Origin of faults (what cause them)
Distribution (include a map of where faults are located) remember figures must stand alone)
3rd slide faults in city planning. (Stadiums, airports, major roads etc) how it affects it
Think: Hobby airport has a fault, roads have faults, city center, why are sewers where faults are, why do Houston Texas have faults but no earthquakes
