I don’t know how to handle this Geography question and need guidance.
Last week, we learned about tectonic forces generated inside the earth. Generally speaking, these forces build up landforms. This week, we turn our attention to the gradational processes that continually reshape earth’s surface. Weathering, erosion, and deposition can create beautiful landforms such as the Grand Canyon and Great Lakes. These gradational processes can also create natural hazards such as sinkholes and mass wasting events (landslides, mudslides, rock fall, etc.). Sometimes these events cause sudden tragedies, other times they worsen over long periods of time. Unfortunately, people are impacted by several of these events each year. Using Chapters 15 and 17 of your textbook and web resources, research mass wasting events and/or sinkholes and choose one specific event to share information about in this week’s discussion board. The event you choose must have been caused at least in part by natural processes. (For instance, a building that falls simply because of poor construction does not qualify here.)
A) Provide the type (landslide, sinkhole, etc.), location, and date of the event. B) Provide an overview and suspected cause(s) of the event. C) List casualties, injuries, and damages. D) Provide two possible mitigation strategies for dealing with this type of event (mass wasting or sinkhole). E) Provide a link to at least one reference about this event.
