BOOMTOWN’S TOPOGRAPHY

Objective Students will be able to examine topographical maps from different time periods and identify evidence about changes in the shape of the land

What is Stability? The quality or state of something that is not easily changed or not easily moved Land Stability: An area’s ability to resist change over time

Why Does Stability Matter? Failing to consider land stability when planning to build on that land could cause harm to human health, local property and associated infrastructure, and the wider environment. 

Land Stability Examples Consider the Before and After pictures of a mountainside over 100 years. Would this area be considered stable? Why or why not? Would you build homes here? Why or why not?
