The Geographer -

You must research the geology and geography of your region.

Report back to your group with a report on the over-all geography of the region, and locate at least 1000 acres to build a 400 acre park on.

Things to think about:

A) Can it be on steep hillsides, or do you need flattish land?

B) Can there be rolling hills?

C) Are there major water areas nearby, will it be affected by flooding?

D) What is the geology under the ground, is it in danger of earthquakes?

E) Is the ground underneath the area soft, hard, marshy, or dry? Can it support the weight of tall buildings and roller coasters?
