Document Summary
Italicized words are those you should be able to define. Bold-faced terms are associated with a graph or figure that you should be prepared to discuss and perhaps draft. This study guide is just that, not a contract. Your class notes are your ultimate study guide. Introductory concepts - describe the concerns of classic and contemporary environmental geology. Be prepared to describe the trend of global population growth. Note the eons and eras and the boundaries between them. Describe plate boundaries and hot spots and how they relate to environmental hazards. Be prepared to cite geographic examples of where such tectonic settings are found. Define a risk, hazard, and both the primary and secondary categories. Note details concerning earth materials that are relevant to case studies examined. Describe the geologic phenomena, hazards, circumstances, and responses to the northridge and kobe disasters. Water resources - reflect upon classic and contemporary issues associated with water.
