Please choose either option 1 or option 2 whatever you feel better with.

Option #1: Weather Anomalies

We will be discussing atmosphere and weather in Modules 6 and 7. Choose a weather anomaly, such as El Nino and La Nina, climate change, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, drought, heat waves, ice storms, or other. Be sure to define them, compare them to normal conditions and discuss the consequences of each. Include the economic impact damage to the Earth, and any long term consequences. If applicable, include the way that volcanoes, meteorite impacts, ice cap size fluctuation, or nuclear explosions might change them as well. 

Your final paper should meet the following requirements:

• 8-10 pages in length (Does not include title page, reference page, images, diagrams, charts, or graphs.)
• 8-10 outside sources
• Formatted according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements.

Option #2: Geologic Processes

Planet Earth has many processes that affect the surface where we live. Choose a process such as earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, weathering and erosion, mass wasting, stream processes, coastal processes, compare desert and glacial landscapes and their processes, or other. Explain how the processes work, causes and effects, and long-term impacts to the Earth. Include problems it poses to humans, economic impacts, and mitigation efforts. Provide real life examples.
