Recap:
Throughout this portfolio I used the program Google Earth as you might be able to tell from the many photographs I used. I made use of many .kmz files. They assisted in the photos that demonstrated the age of the sea floor, the types of plate boundaries, and the different sizes of earthquakes. In the real world we can use this as a guide when visiting or living in the area. One can check to see what kind of natural disasters could occur in the part of the continent you will be in. It can also help someone studying volcano activity and trying to predict when and where disasters will happen. Google Earth can also help someone navigate the globe when traveling. Some challenging part of this assignment was learning how to use Google Earth effectively and the helpful tools that come with it. I learned how well Google Earth can help someone interested in these parts of Geology and how it can help regular people like hikers, climbers, and travelers.
