The objective of this assignment is for you to demonstrate an ability to communicate details about the Hayward Fault.
While you are absolutely allowed to write a standard academic report
Content : Among other things that you can explore are : how the fault moves and its tectonic context, how we can see evidence of the fault on the surface, the size of earthquakes it is capable of producing, some potential consequences of such an event, how the fault interacts with or influences structures on campus, …
The field trip stops provide ample opportunity to discuss those and explain that the stops are manifestations or consequences of the fault being nearby.
If submitting a standard report : The limit is 800 words. (The max limit is 850, anything beyond that won’t be taken into account.)
Grading: You will be graded dominantly on factual accuracy, not the quality of your art. We are looking for knowledge and critical comprehension.
Note: keep the words between 700-750. No more than that and no less than that. Cite the sources that you use. Also, DON’T USE CHAT GPT OR PLAGIARIZE THE CONTENT. Don’t use coursehero or any other homework site as well. I already have answers from them. I need original work. It will be run through turn itin and must be original.

Discussion #4 – Subjects Related to Real Life

4.1 Introduction
Hi and welcome to the fourth discussion of the class! As we quickly approach the end of the semester, it is important to reinforce how this class relates to real life. The goal of this week’s discussion is to talk or discuss about real events that we have learned about (or will learn about) in Geography (GEOG) 1112: Weather and Climate impact our everyday life. After you have talked about an event, you will then respond or reply to your fellow classmates.
The fourth discussion of the semester will be broken into 2 sections. You will need to complete both sections of the discussion to receive full credit. Please read the instructions carefully and if you have any questions, please contact your instructor.

4.2 Requirements
– You MUST complete the following TWO requirements* to receive full credit:
Select an Event from one of the following prompts in section 4.5, Write about the Topic, and Explain the topic.
Select and respond to TWO of your fellow classmate’s post
*Please read the instructions (section 4.5) for further background information about each discussion requirement

4.3 Rubric
You will be graded for this discussion using the format below:
Section #1: 10 Points
Section #2: 10 Points

4.4 Submission Deadline
– Discussion #4 opens on Wednesday, November 1st at 12:00 (noon) pm ET and closes on Monday, November 13th at 12:00 (noon) pm ET.

4.5 Instructions
Section #1: Selecting an Event
In your first message (post), You will select an one event based on a (1) current event (find an article about a weather event that has occurred such as tornado, severe storm, flood, extreme heat), (2) a climatological event (how the climate could be changing or unique climate events that have been mentioned in articles), or (3) a personal experience that you have had with weather. The prompts for each are listed below.
Through this course, we have been slowly building our “base” or “blocks” about key concepts and definitions related to weather and climate. We are also moving into a severe weather and climate unit. It is beneficial to understand how these events can impact lives. It is important to understand how we can relate what we learn in this course to real life and tools that can help you in real life. You might not be going into a weather field but you can learn a lot from the weather around you and past events that have occurred.
I would like you to select an event presented to you in any part of the course (a topic we have discussed or will discuss). This could be anything from chapter 1 to chapter 7, from the temperature unit to severe weather to climate change. For your first post (thread), you MUST pick a prompt and answer or talk about the following SIX questions:
Prompt #1: A Past or Current Event in the News
What to do: Find an article (from the news or online from a creditable source) of a weather event that has occurred in the past that we have learned about (or will learn about) in this class. Note: Please make sure to include the url link as part of your post.
Then answer the following questions in paragraph form (two paragraphs):First Paragraph (include these 5 questions):1. What was the weather event and Where did it start and end? (Note: Please make sure to include the url link as part of answering this question)
2. How did this weather event form (use information from what you have learned in this course)?
3. Were the areas impacted ready for the event or was it more of a surprise?
4. What was the aftermath of the event?
5. Does the article mention anything of preparing for a future event similar to this event?
Second Paragraph:6. Lastly, give a summary of the event from start to finish. (Note: Your response should be a least 150 words for your second paragraph)
Prompt #2: A Climatological Event
What to do: Find an article (from the news or online from a creditable source) of a climatological event that has occurred in the past or is predicted to occur in the future that we have learned about (or will learn about) in this class. Note: Please make sure to include the url link as part of your post.
Then answer the following questions (2 paragraphs):First Paragraph (Answer the first 5 questions):1. What was the climate event and has it already occurred, currently occurring, or starting/predicted to start? (Note: Please make sure to include the url link as part of answering this question)
2. How did this climate event form or how is it forming (use information from what you have learned in this course)?
3. Were the areas impacted ready for this event or are they ready for this event?
4. What was the aftermath of the event or what possible impacts could this event cause?
5. Does the article mention anything of preparing for a future event or are they preparing for the event?
Second Paragraph6. Lastly, give a summary of the event from start to finish. (Note: Your response should be a least 150 words for your second paragraph)
Prompt #3: A Personal Experience
What to do: Discuss a personal experience with weather or climate that you have encountered.First Paragraph1. Give a summary of how the event occurred from start to finish. If you have any pictures of the event include it as part of summary. (Note: Your response should be a least 150 words for your first paragraph)
Second Paragraph2. Did you know the event was going to happen or did it catch you of guard?
3. Did you take shelter or did it impact you in any way?
4. Was there any aftermath of the event in the area you were in?
5. Can you find any media coverage or articles of the event? If so, please include any url links as part of answering this question.
6. Have you only experienced this event once or multiple times?
Note: As you answer these specific questions posed by your instructor, please make sure to write in SENTENCE format. Imagine that you are writing an English paper or research paper as you answer each question. Please do NOT write in bullet points or a numbered list for your post. If you use bullet or numbered format, 2 points will be deducted from your post. If you have questions about writing your post, please contact your instructor for additional assistance.

THE attached screenshot indicates that based on current policies, the global temperature will rise to 3.6°C by 2100.
You can make choices about our energy sources, incentives, policies, technology, practices, etc. by moving the sliders. Each one of these sliders represents a choice about what people can do, how they can do it, what standard of living they can expect, their economic prospects, what we need to invent, etc.
you must find a way to limit the total global temperature rise to 2.0°C or less. When you’ve accomplished this, take a screenshot of your window showing your choices and the net temperature increase

Please follow the all directions and the information is attached. First question: 1-5 sentences. Second question: Over 300 words will be enough.

Hi Class,
Attached is the poster presentation evaluation form. I will use this form to evaluate the group presentations. The form is also your guide to what I’m looking for on each of the posters as well as the details of the technical area you are presenting.
For the presenters – I will call on the group to start their presentation – the presenting group will come to the front of the class and prepare to present their poster – the timer will start when the slides are up and everyone is ready. You will have 3.5 minutes to present your poster. Everyone from the group must speak and have a role in the presentation. You will be timed so you must practice as a group in order to get your timing down and also have a good understanding of the topic.
Your poster should be in this order, Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion.
my topic to speak about is Method only
How to create a PowerPoint scientific poster: The video is how to create a poster from a blank format and very helpful to begin a poster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UylugmaCHkLinks to an external site.
You can also download a template in PowerPoint and use that as your starting point and edit it from there.
Remember, you will use Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion as your headers. For example, the abstract is a brief summary of the poster presentation and is often used to help the reader quickly ascertain the paper’s purpose, so it’s an overview of the whole poster you are presenting, the Introduction is the history and background of the subject, the Methods is how its implemented or/and explanation of the program – the steps on how it’s done, the Results is based on the data collected from the implementation of the program and the Discussion is your analysis of the program, explaining why its impactful or not and why it should or should not continue.
If you have any questions, please be sure to bring them up during our class on Monday. We will review this in detail. We have plenty of time before the first groups present.
Regards,
