This
project
examines
the
entire
water
system
of
an
ancient
city,
including
supply,
distribution,
use,
and
drainage.
Until
now,
individual
water
system
elements
have
been
studied
as
archaeological
objects,
but
infrequently
subjected
to
analysis
by
such
disciplines
as
fluids
engineering
and
urban
history.
This
work
is
part
of
two
larger
long-term
studies,
the
first
concerning
the
relationship
between

This
booklet
provides
a
brief
introduction
to
the
concept
of
plate
tectonics
and
complements
the
visual
and
written
information
in
This
Dynamic
Planet,
a
map
published
in
1994
by
the
U.S.
Geological
Survey
(USGS)
and
the
Smithsonian
Institution.
The
booklet
highlights
some
of
the
people
and
discoveries
that
advanced
the
development
of
the
theory
and
traces
its
progress
since
its
proposal.

This
activity
describes
the
technique
of
preparing
"GIS-ready"
data
and
shows
how
to
map
that
data
and
conduct
basic
analyses
using
a
geographic
information
system
(GIS).
First,
you
will
download
and
format
near
real-time
and
historical
earthquake
data
from
the
USGS.
Using
latitude
and
longitude
fields,
you
will
then
plot
these
data
in
a
GIS.
Next,
you
will
analyze
patterns
by
querying
records
and

The
PALEOMAP
Project
illustrates
the
plate
tectonic
development
of
the
ocean
basins
and
continents,
as
well
as
the
changing
distribution
of
land
and
sea
during
the
past
1100
million
years.
The
reconstruction
of
paleoclimates
is
also
discussed.
Maps
are
viewed
as
animations
where
the
time
component
can
be
user-manipulated.
Included
are
a
variety
of
background
materials
which
supplement
the
animations.

BASINS
is
a
multipurpose
environmental
analysis
system
for
use
by
regional,
state,
and
local
agencies
in
performing
watershed

based
studies.
This
new
software
makes
it
possible
to
quickly
assess
large

in
a
format
that
is
easy
to
use

This
NASA
Module
investigation
compares
and
contrasts
physical
processes
that
occur
on
Both
Earth
and
Mars.
Students
are
given
unidentified
images
of
Earth
and
Mars.
Their
task
is
to
arrange
the
images
into
pairs
that
show
evidence
of
similar
physical
processes.
Then
they
identify
each
image
as
one
of
Earth
or
of
Mars
by
comparing
and
contrasting
physical
features
that
they
observe
in
the
image
pairs.

In
this
lesson,
students
explore
the
roles
of
oil
and
water
in
the
Middle
East,
especially
in
Iraq.
They
use
maps
to
look
at
the
distribution
of
oil
in
the
Middle
East
and
discuss
what
it
means
for
the
different
countries
in
the
region.
They
also
examine
how
water
has
influenced
the
region
historically
and
politically
(for
example,
how
Iraq's
access
to
water
is
limited
to
one
small
part
of
its
border).
