SO262, Spring 2011

In Class Exercise--Koppen and Wegener

We will break the class into groups of 2, each of which will prepare a Power Point discussion of a location.  Your presentation will include:

  1. A map showing the location.
  2. A climograph from the area, showing what conditions are like.
  3. A listing of the rules that determine this category, and the meaning of the gray line on the climograph that determines.
  4. A discussion of why this climate occurs where it does, and what it means for the area.
  5. A map showing the earthquakes and volcanoes in the region, and a discussion of the types of each and what they mean in terms of danger to the local inhabitants.
