Elaboration: Sample activities:Undertake a field site visit to compare and contrast different plant communities.Use topographic maps to understand modern terrain patterns associated with historical events (e.g., glaciation).Use satellite imagery of cloud cover to look at atmospheric circulation patterns.Use GIS to map flood potential.Use air photos to view mountainous environments in order to examine life zones and hydrological patterns and processes.Use regional weather charts to explain current and near future local weather conditions.Develop an understanding of the concept of spatial scale by examining an issue at three scales (e.g., how is a changing climate impacting local water use, regional precipitation patterns, and global distribution of moisture?). |
