~Geologist~
You work as a geologist for USGS.  You are an expert on your team's type of disaster.  Your group will need your help to understand what usually happens in this type of disaster.  You'll need to report on:

* What is USGS?  What is its purpose?

* What causes your team's type of disaster to happen? Where in the world do they usually occur?

* What effect does this type of disaster have on the Earth?

*Remember* 

Your report should be at least 1 full page in length. It should focus on the questions above and include the two most useful websites to you.  Follow all of the rules you would for a language arts writing prompt (proper grammar, paragraphs, spelling, etc.).  See the
grading rubric for more information.
