Maps are an excellent tool for finding your way when lost but also for finding patterns. Many times certain areas have similar characteristics or landforms, and a map provides a visual representation of these patterns. The map provided shows the location of volcanoes in California, their hazard level, and what the areas around them may experience. A trend that emerges when looking at this map is that volcanoes with a higher hazard rating are more likely to produce ash in amounts of two inches or higher. Of the four volcanoes circled, three of them are high to very high hazard levels. This indicates a pattern.

Maps are an excellent tool for identifying patterns in Earth's landforms. This map uses colored lines to show how the coast has changed on Fire Island over time. Starting with the red line, which represents 1830, the island was very short; it is extended in 1870, again in 1933, and so on. In 2007 the blue line showed how much longer the shoreline has become over the years. Scientists and environmental groups have been working to restore Fire Island and extend the shore for years. By dredging and redepositing the sand as well as building barriers and drainage, they have been able to extend Fire Island and help protect it.

These maps are a great visual representation of what storms do to our barrier islands. Dauphin island is slowly being eroded daily by wind and waves, but intense tropical storms accelerate that damage. From the first map to the third map, a pattern can be identified. The island is eroded when faced with tropical storms. As the storms become more frequent and intense erosion is accelerated, and large pieces of the island are gone. The overall depth of the landform is also reduced due to severe, frequent storms.

Mrs. Elsa claims that the graphic shown below demonstrates a change in the rock layers. She says that they should be lined up with the same color in each row but there has been a shift.
Which natural disaster could cause this change in rock layers that would support Mrs. Elsa's claim?
Mrs. Elsa claims that the graphic shown below demonstrates a change in the rock layers. She says that they should be lined up with the same color in each row but there has been a shift.
Which natural disaster could cause this change in rock layers that would support Mrs. Elsa's claim?
Mrs. Elsa is correct, and the graphic supports her claim. The rock layers should be lined up where the same colors are next to each other, but there has been a shift in the layers caused by an earthquake. When an earthquake shakes the rock formations, the layers are shifted, and there is a disruption in their pattern. This cannot be reversed. It provides scientists with evidence that there was once an earthquake in this area and gives them useful information.
