CA Geologically Based Hazards & Resources

    Using the California outline map from class and the sources provided (maps in class, textbook, online sources):
*List the natural hazards in California and explain their geologic bases. Also, on the outline map, label the areas where these hazards occur.
*List the resources in California
and explain their geologic bases. Also, on the outline map, label the areas where these resources occur.
*Making a key or legend to go with your map will be helpful as it will fill up quite quickly with hazards and resources.
(The map and explanations are IN ADDITION to your Notes. It would be a good idea to take notes while you are working on the map information)
