this
exercise
from
SERC's
Starting
Point,
students
measure
a
topographic
and
geologic
cross-section
across
a
floodplain
by
simple
surveying
and
auguring
techniques.
This
example
demonstrates
how
basic
GIS
elements
can
enhance
learning
by
adding
spatial
context
and
introducing
mapping
techniques.
GIS
elements
encourage
students
to
consider

In
this
activity,
students
work
through
two
exercises
that
will
demonstrate
the
construction
of
intensity
maps,
familiarize
them
with
the
basic
Modified
Mercalli
Intensity
Scale,
and
give
them
the
opportunity
to
build
their
own
maps
online
for
the
purpose
of
locating
the
epicenter
of
an
earthquake.
In
the
first
exercise,
the
students
will
construct
an
isoseismal
map
using
