WorksheetsSession 2: Review of Week 1
Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 10mins
How do I change the background of a map?
Select a different basemap (ex: imagery features and other points of view)
Add a layer to customize the style
Adjust the zoom level with the + and - buttons on the bottom right corner
Use magnifying glass icon to search and navigate
How is change of earthquake magnitude SYMBOLIZED on this map?
blue for the oceans and green for the land or mountains
yellow, green, and black dots
a color gradient from light to dark & size of dots
the basemap
What was the recent earthquakes web map we interacted with a layer of?
Real-time data
Historical data
Vector Data
Raster data
What was the global earthquake archive web map we interacted with a layer of?
Real-Time Data
Historical Data
Raster Data
Vector Data
Give me an example of a geospatial question.
How do I find out WHEN an earthquake happened? (ex: on my birthday)
Filter by time. You need to click on the clock icon after events by magnitude and use the time slider to pick a date.
Click on a point and a pop-up will show the date and time.
Search by address to find the one closest to where you live
Use a seismograph to measure the intensity (how strong it is)
Give me an example of a tech norm. (ex: classroom rule we have about our devices)
How do I add layers?
Click on the layers icon and dropdown to search the living atlas
Change the basemap
Go to the properties panel and enable time
Click on the pop-up or clock icon
Why are the maps cut off with white space?
A glitch
It's a map abstraction of reality. It's taking a 3D global sphere and putting it on a 2D surface.
Not enough storage
Data is not available or is still loading
What pattern did we notice about earthquakes after we added a tectonic plate layer?
It changed the color of the dots and made it wavy
There was no pattern. The dots were random.
The dots were clustered around the edges of tectonic plates where they were colliding to create earthquakes.
Changing the transparency showed us recent earthquakes
