This
chapter
describes
the
technique
of
preparing
latitude-longitude
based
data
so
that
it
can
be
imported
into
a
geographic
information
system
(GIS).
It
describes
the
steps
to
create
a
map
to
display
data
and
guides
users
through
some
basic
geographic
analyses.
The
focus
of
the
chapter?s
case
study
is
earthquake
prediction.

Scientists
have
studied
the
physical
properties
of
clouds
and
have
developed
instruments
onboard
satellites
to
characterize
the
types
of
clouds
they
see
below.
Some
satellites
have
instruments
that
allow
them
to
measure
rainfall
as
well.
For
this
lesson,
students
will
hypothesize
what
types
of
clouds
they
believe
will
create
the
most
precipitation
(rainfall)
over
Nashville,
TN.

Discovering
Plate
Boundaries
is
based
on
5
world
maps
containing
earthquake,
volcano,
topography,
satellite
gravity,
and
seafloor
age
data.
The
novel
aspect
of
the
exercise
is
the
"jigsaw"
manner
in
which
student
groups
access
the
maps
and
use
them
to
discover,
classify,
and
describe
plate
boundary
types.
The
exercise
is
based
only
on
observation
and
description,
which
makes
it
useful
at
a

This
demonstration
uses
a
gyroscope
(a
bicycle
wheel
works
well),
string,
and
a
turntable
(optional)
to
show
how
the
equatorial
bulge
of
Earth
causes
precession.
By
balancing
the
spinning
bicycle
wheel
on
one
hand,
and
pulling
a
string
attached
to
the
top
axle
with
the
other,
the
axis
of
the
wheel
traces
out
a
circle
(precesses).
The
site
also
explains
how
the
moment
of
inertia
is
related
to

around
the
world.
It
is
used
by
emergency
response
organizations
and
by
scientists
seeking
to
determine
how

effect
an
area
and
whether
seismic

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
