What are the weather conditions on the Daily Weather Map (be sure to record the date)?  Is there a nearby low or high pressure system?  Is there precipitation in the area?

At the site:

1. Take pictures at the site.  At least one picture must be a “selfie” at the location.  You should have images to support other geographical observations that you make. Pictures are optional.
2. Think about all of the content that you have learned during this course and how that new knowledge can be applied to this site.  Make the following observations:
   • What is the latitude, longitude, and elevation of the location?  If there is a range, be sure to take note of that information.  You may use your smartphone to help you acquire this information, but you must also record the 7.5 Minute Quadrangle Map name that contains the location you are visiting. You should include the latitude and longitude only to 1/10th of a degree (for example, 34.0°N, 118.4°W).
   • What are the weather conditions on the Daily Weather Map (be sure to record the date)?  Is there a nearby low or high pressure system?  Is there precipitation in the area?
   • What are the observed weather conditions for the location on the date and time of your visit?  Be as descriptive as possible (think about temperature, relative humidity, winds, clouds, etc.).
   • How does the actual weather conditions compare to the weather map?  Be descriptive.
   • Are there any geologic faults near to the area you are visiting?  If so, what is the name and direction of motion?  If so, can you see any evidence of movement along the fault (for example, the area is on a hill that was pushed up due to reverse faulting?  If not, where is the closest geologic fault (give the name and directions of motion)?
   • What is the geomorphological agent that dominates formation of this landscape (wind, water, ice, etc.), and what landforms can you observe?
