You will play the part of involves elements of chance as well as a geologist, investor, and land developer. The opportunities 'to make decisioni based on a game bbard is a simplified version of an area knowledge of geblogic hazards and their effect on located at a mayor plate boundary in California. land utilizatioh. The specific site 9hOsen for.the This area has many hazards. These hA,zards. game `is a simplified version of an existing area include earthquakes, landslides, fires, and floods. located at a major plat% boundary in California,' Geologists, land developers and residents In this area the San Andreas Fault has been have many problems because of these hazards. identified as a transform fault separating the/ The object of the game is to acquire the most Pacific and North American Plates. money and property. Understanding geologic hazards and their effects on land development and :use will help you Win the game . / PREREQUISITE STUDENT BACKGROUND The students should be reasonably fam Oar with the major geologic" hazards associatedith the development of a parcel of land in an arthquake- prone area. These include the effect o . earthquakes in different ropk and top graphio.- settings, landslides, mudslides, flood ng, rock and, sediment properties as foundation aterial, and subsidence due to rerhovalofround water, oll;etc. .. - OBJECTIVES After you have completed this .ctivity, you should be able to: 1. Identify the geologic hazards in an earthquake- prone area. 2. Identify the probable effe is of these hazards on the land and developme t in the area. 3. State measures that can be ergployed to minimize the effect of thes hazes. /1 MATERIALS Quake Estate, game boardone board for two to An expendable version (Worksheet 1) of the game tour students. An expendable or nonexpendable board may be employed. In this case, the game board may be used. The Instructions students draw a symbol of various developments for each are as follows. (See CEEP Materials List.) in each property directly on the game board. If a player adds a development to his or her Materials needed to make nonexpendabren; board: property, the appropriate symbol is simply drawn Student Investigation Worksheet No. 1 onto the top of the appropriate property .

When a player finds it necessary yellow, blue, orange, purple, green, red and brown -toell a development, the symbol Is simply erased or crossed out. The geologic map and game squares on the game . board should be col red as indicated: The paper...tame board, Worksheet 1, may be taped Gator Bay, Angel Cr ek Reservoir and Diablo to a piece of cardboard for easier handling.
