Mapping the Enviroment


This is the section on the minerals of nevada.





For this blog I used the USGS site. I found that the united states geological survey had the most information regarding the scientific aspect of the landscape. You can click on any state on a map and are given almost all of the information you can possibly think of. They have basic geologic maps of minerals, water, agriculture and almost anything else. They also have a section deovted entirely to earthquake analysis and gives a real time map of the recent earth quakes in the area of your choice. They offer many different kinds of real time maps as well to help inform the public of what is constantly going on around them. Overall this was a very useful site and I think I will be using it allot in the near future for research of the nited States Landscape.





This is just one of many different water displacement maps.
