ProjectHouston’sFaults.Students willcarry out Internet res.docxbriancrawford30935
Project: Houston’s Faults.
Students will carry out Internet research on faults in and around Houston Texas. Your research should look at the following aspects related to faults.
· The origin of faults in the Houston area
· The distribution of faults in the area
· The type of faults (normal, reverse, strike slip etc.)
· How the faults impact city planning (location of airports, major highways, stadiums, city center, sewage lines etc. in relation to the major faults)
· Faults and earthquakes
· As a geoscience student, how can your knowledge of the origin, distribution and types of fault be useful to city planners?
Students will present this information in the form of a power point slide. Your power point should include all relevant information including sketches, photos, maps and should have a reference section.
EXAMPLE ON HOW YOU CAN FORMAT YOUR PRESENTATION: you will create a slide show then print it out and turn it in a black folder. You do not need to send it to me via email
1st slide Intro: What are faults? (types of faults; normal, reverse, strike slip etc)
*have figures but let them stand alone (meaning the should be on there on slide)
2nd slide Faults in Houston Texas
Origin of faults (what cause them)
Distribution (include a map of where faults are located) remember figures must stand alone)
3rd slide faults in city planning. (Stadiums, airports, major roads etc) how it affects it
Think: Hobby airport has a fault, roads have faults, city center, why are sewers where faults are, why do Houston Texas have faults but no earthquakes

Abstract
An abstract is nothing more than a summary of the main ideas. In this course, the abstract is a summary of the basic building blocks used in the research proposal. It will be slightly different than an abstract for a paper or essay.
In a paper or essay, the abstract summarizes the main points of the document. In a research proposal, the abstract summarizes the main research components (to be used) as demonstrated with the topic.
In either case, an abstract is simple. It is just a summary of the main ideas, points, or methodologies. The difference is what the author is summarizing. In other words, the reader should be able to read the brief abstract and understand what the researcher is proposing..... In 2 or 3 paragraphs, you should be able to answer the following questions in narrative form: What is the topic? What are the variables? What is the hypothesis? What is the design? What is the population/sample? What is the Data Collection Method(s)?

5. Describe two (2) effects on people.
6. Develop a coherently structured paper with an introduction, body, and conclusion.
7. Provide three (3) relevant and credible sources to support claims. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
· Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
· Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
· Associate the features of audience, purpose, and text with various genres.
· Recognize the elements and correct use of a thesis statement.
· Recognize how to organize ideas with transitional words, phrases, and sentences.
· Incorporate relevant, correctly documented sources to substantiate claims.
· Apply the writing process to develop various writing genres.
· Write clearly and concisely about selected topics using proper writing mechanics.
· Use technology and information resources to research selected issues for this course.
Using References in your Lab Writeup
Make sure you both cite the reference that you use in the body of your text, AND
provide a reference list at the end of your writeup.
For example, to cite references within the body of your lab writeup:
In this lab we examined how different fish like to eat different kinds of algae. The red
algae are the largest group of algae (Abbott, 1999). Therefore, we focused on red algae
in this lab. Many red algae are quite edible and some of the best known red algae
include those that are eaten in sushi (sushiworld.com). Algae are also quite nutritious
(Markeley, 2010). Our fish came from tidepools, which are located in the area between
high and low tide (Mahon and Mahon, 1994). According to our lab manual (WOU
Biology, 2011), our fish were col ...

Individual who Made the Biggest Contribution (not alphabetical)
Institutional Affiliation(s)
Author Note
The author note is typically used in manuscripts that will be submitted for publication. The author note may provide additional information regarding the affiliations of the authors. It is also used to acknowledge those who contributed to the study, but not at the level of authorship. Lastly, the author note typically includes contact information for at least one author (see APA guide p. 24, section 2.03 & sample paper on p. 41.)
Remember to format the author note using block format (no indents, left or right justification).
Abstract
The abstract is a brief (usually 100-150 words) summary of your experiment. What was your question? What did you do? What did you find? What is your conclusion/interpretation? Try taking the lead sentence or two (but not word-for-word) from your introduction, results and discussion and integrate them into your abstract. Additionally, add a sentence or two describing your procedure, especially if it differs from those typically used to study the phenomenon.
The abstract is page two. Nothing goes on this page except the abstract. Center the word "Abstract" on the page and format in bold-face type. Do not put the title of your paper on this page. Begin typing the abstract on the line directly below the heading.
Notice that the abstract is not indented, and is written in block format. It is also double-spaced. Typically, the abstract is one paragraph in length.
Keywords: type a few words (or phrases) that would be useful if someone was searching for a study similar to this one. For example, if you studied reaction time in a card sorting task your key words might be “card sorting,” “response time” and decision making. (Note: the word “keyword” is italicized and indented.)
Title
On the third page, you typically begin your introduction. Notice that the word "INTRODUCTION" does not appear at the top of the page as many of the other headings do. The title used is the same one that appears on the cover page.
The first paragraph should contain a description of the phenomena that you are studying. Make a general statement about the phenomenon and how it is typically measured. Also, talk about how one might manipulate or influence the outcome (i.e, what variables could potentially influence the results).
Subsequent research should describe previous research that examined the phenomena. These studies serve to provide the rationale for your study. What did the researchers do? What did they find? What did they conclude?
Do this for each study cited. Typically, one or more paragraphs are necessary to explain each study. Try to make the transition smooth from one paragraph to the next. Use transition words (see SIGNAL WORDS hand.

Introduction
-Successfully provides background information and establishes the scientific concept of
the lab
• The introduction serves to provide the reader with the necessary background information
needed to understand the experiment, establishes the scientific concepts, and provides the
rationale for doing the experiment. Each usually consists of a paragraph.
• Background information - In this paragraph you provide the reader with information on
what has been done in the past regarding your objective. It is your opportunity to inform
the reader of the theory and/or key concepts the experiment will demonstrate or examine.
It is also the place where you demonstrate your credibility by showing that you have done
the necessary research to understand the topic. The background information paragraph of
the Introduction can be thought of as a sales pitch. For example, “Previous work in the
field of XYZ has shown that . . . These findings indicate that . . . An area that warrants
further examination is. These statements should be leading up to your objective statement.
• Establish the scientific concept for the lab - State what the lab is about, that is, what
scientific concept (theory, principle, procedure, etc.) you are supposed to be learning about
by doing the lab. If you are having trouble writing the opening sentence of the report, you
can try something like: "This laboratory experiment focuses on X…"; "This lab is
designed to help students learn about, observe, or investigate, X…." Or begin with a
definition of the scientific concept: "X is a theory that…."
• effectively presents the objectives and the rationale for performing the lab
The objective is the most important component to any experiment and lab report. It is a
statement of the objective, goal, or purpose of the experiment. It is a one or two sentence
answer to the question: “What do you hope to accomplish with this experiment?”
Formulate your objective statement before you begin writing the report - invest some time
In a paragraph, or more, write out the objectives of the lab in paragraph form and then
describe the purpose of the lab: what it is that accomplishing the objectives will help you
learn about the scientific concept of the lab.
The objective(s) are what it is you are supposed to accomplish in the experimental
procedure itself. The objective(s), therefore, is usually presented in terms of a specific verb
that describes what you are supposed to be doing in the lab, such as to measure, to analyze,
to determine, to test etc. Often, the objective(s) for the lab is given in the lab manual. If you
are having trouble phrasing the sentence about objective ...
