Geology Special Assignment 2: Education Task Force
People around the world have been reporting changes in the earth's features. You have been placed on special assignment to investigate these reports. You will be searching the net to explain these occurrences and using multimedia software to present them to your fellow agents. Your commander-in-chief will send your orders immediately.
You will be completing three missions. At the conclusion of these missions, you will know what is causing the formation of geologic structures and be able to explain the processes that change them. You will also be evaluating the quality of your fellow agents' presentations.
