Give a reference as to how long processes have been at work (use the geologic time scale). Which processes are still occurring today? Cover the Plate Tectonic Setting and how it affected the history where appropriate.

7. Group Responsibility Produce a power point presentation on the geology and geologic history of a National Park (minimum of 15 information slides)

8. Individual Responsibility Produce a minimum of 5 slides (Do 1/3 of the work) Present your portion to the class.

9. Title Slide (Not part of the 15) Uniform Look Author of each slide at the bottom of the slide Bibliographic Slide (Not part of the 15) Imported graphics in each section (pictures, clipart, etc….) Use at least one different slide transition in each section
