Colorado: Factors and Forces of Geological Features
I need assistance with some information so that I can
create a PowerPoint presentation for the state of Colorado. I can do the
PowerPoint myself but I need help researching the following and answering them:
1. Describe the various geologic events that have occurred
in your state.
2. Describe the geological features and various types of
rocks that formed in the area(for example, mountains, craters, canyons,
volcanoes, fault lines, or folds).
3. Choose one of these geological features to research. What
is the most prevalent rock type of the feature? Describe the mineral
composition of the rock type.
4. How old is your geologic feature? Estimate the absolute
age of the geological feature, and discuss methods used to determine the age.
5. What geologic event created your chosen geological
feature? Discuss the process of plate tectonics related to the formation.
6. Discuss the significance of igneous, sedimentary, and
metamorphic rocks in your state.
7. Discuss the type(s) of weathering and erosion processes
that has most likely affected
the physical appearance of your geological feature.
8. Discuss any significant water, ocean, desert, or glacial
feature(s) associated with your region, and the process involved with creating
one of them.
9. Discuss resources that are abundant in the region and the
importance and economic value of this resource to the region or nation.
o In conclusion, discuss why you selected this geological
feature for your PowerPoint® Presentation.
o Include graphics
