I am in need of help with my final project in Geology. I have to create a 12-15slide powerpoint presentation on Factors and Forces of Geological Features. I have the final rubric
Final Rubric: |Factors and Forces of Geological Features
Objective of Exercise:
· Choose a state or one of the following regions:
o Region 1: Interior Plain
o Region 2: Appalachian Highlands
o Region 3: Rocky Mountain System
o Region 4: Pacific Mountain System
o Region 5: Atlantic Plain
·
· Create a 12- to 15-slide PowerPoint® presentation for your selected state or region.
· Address the following in your PowerPoint®:
o Describe the various geologic events that have occurred in your region.
o Describe the geological features and various types of rocks that formed in the area (for example, mountains, craters, canyons, volcanoes, fault lines, or folds).
o Choose one of these geological features to research. What is the most prevalent rock type of the feature? Describe the mineral composition of the rock type.
o How old is your geologic feature? Estimate the absolute age of the geological feature, and discuss a methods used to determine the age.
o What geologic event created your chosen geological feature? Discuss the process of plate tectonics related to the formation.
o Discuss the significance of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks in your region.
o Discuss the type(s) of weathering and erosion processes that has most likely affected the physical appearance of your geological feature.
o Discuss any significant water, ocean, desert, or glacial feature(s) associated with your region, and the process involved with creating one of them.
o Discuss resources that are abundant in the region and the importance and economic value of this resource to the region or nation.
o In conclusion, discuss why you selected this geological feature for your written assignment.

My goodness! Why did you post this here?
How do you want us to help you?
To create your 12-15 slide PowerPoint presentation on Factors and Forces of Geological Features, you will need to follow the guidelines provided in the final rubric.
1. Choose a state or one of the regions mentioned in the rubric (Interior Plain, Appalachian Highlands, Rocky Mountain System, Pacific Mountain System, Atlantic Plain).
2. Start with a title slide that includes the name of the state or region you have chosen.
3. Cover all the key elements of the assignment in a substantive way. Make sure you address each point mentioned in the rubric.
4. Begin by describing the various geologic events that have occurred in your selected region. Research the history of geological events in that area and provide relevant information.
5. Describe the geological features and various types of rocks that have formed in the area. For example, mention mountains, craters, canyons, volcanoes, fault lines, or folds. Include pictures or diagrams to illustrate these features.
6. Choose one specific geological feature to focus on for further research. Describe the most prevalent rock type of the feature and discuss its mineral composition.
7. Estimate the absolute age of your chosen geological feature and discuss the methods used to determine its age. Explain the scientific techniques or dating methods that have been used to establish the age of similar features.
8. Discuss the specific geologic event that created your chosen geological feature. Explain how plate tectonics, continental drift, or other geological processes were involved in its formation.
9. Discuss the significance of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks in your region. Explain their characteristics, formation processes, and their role in shaping the geological features in your area.
10. Discuss the type(s) of weathering and erosion processes that have most likely affected the physical appearance of your chosen geological feature. Explain how these processes have contributed to its current form.
11. Explore any significant water, ocean, desert, or glacial feature(s) associated with your region. Describe the processes involved in creating one of these features and explain their significance.
12. Discuss the resources that are abundant in your region and their importance and economic value to the region or nation. Highlight any specific mineral, energy, or natural resources that are important to the local economy.
13. In conclusion, discuss why you selected this geological feature for your written assignment. Explain its personal or scientific significance and why you found it interesting or relevant.
14. Include graphics such as maps, diagrams, photographs, or charts to enhance the visual appeal of your presentation.
15. Use speaker notes to provide additional information or to elaborate on key points. These notes will help you present your slideshow effectively and provide more in-depth explanations.
Ensure that your presentation adheres to APA formatting guidelines, including appropriate headings, font styles, and proper citation of sources on a reference slide.
Finally, proofread your presentation to ensure proper grammar, usage, and spelling. Submit your completed PowerPoint presentation on time according to the specified due date.
By following this step-by-step guide and considering the rubric, you should be able to create a comprehensive and well-structured presentation on Factors and Forces of Geological Features. Good luck with your final project!
