Lab Exercise 8

This map above shows what we did in our Lab 8 Exercise. Our task was to create the effects of a 100 year flood that could occur here in Eau Claire. The green area shows how far the water would spread past the regular waters edge. The red lines show what FEMA's flood map shows for a 100 year flood. The reason that they both don't match up is because when these were created the resolution of the maps were different. The green is more percisse because it was done with a map with a better resolution. The black box represents the lower campus of the university and what buildings would be affected by this flood.

This map shows what it would look like if the flood rose to 790 feet.

This image shows the flood at 800 ft.

Lab Exercise 6: Volcanoes

This map shows the top five countries that have the most eruptions.

 

This is a flat rendering of Mount Renier before we got to make it into a 3D model.

 

 

This TIN rendering of Mount Renier. TIN stands for Triangular Irregular Network. It shows the elevation of the surrounding area in a 3D view.

The brown on this map represents the lahar that affected this mountain side.

 

 

These two images show the before and after of the Mt. St. Hellen volcano. You can see on the right side that the majority of the loss was on the north side of the mountain.

 

The White areas shows were all the areas that experiences land addition. The explosion of the disaster dispersed the contents everywhere, and this is the result of the material being relocated.

 

 

The black area on this map shows where materail was lost after the erruption.
