Project
For this project we were tasked with making a brochure that incorporates eight different marine geographical features that can be found on the sea floor. This brochure did not need to take into account the feasibility of our destination, but rather just anything that we could think of.
Rift: A large area of the earth in which plates of the earth's crust are moving away from each other, forming an extensive system of fractures and faults.
Volcano: a mountain or hill, typically conical, having a crater or vent through which lava, rock fragments, hot vapor, and gas are being or have been erupted from the earth's crust.
Abyssal Plain: An underwater plain on the deep ocean floor, usually found at depths between 3,000 meters and 6,000 meters.
Ridge: A sinuous ridge rising from the deep-sea floor.
Island: Oceanic islands are those that rise to the surface from the floors of the ocean basins. Continental islands are simply unsubmerged parts of the continental shelf that are entirely surrounded by water.
Shelf: The continental shelf is a shallow, near horizontal seafloor extension from the shoreline to the upper continental slope.
Caves: Coastal caves formed in limestone or volcanic rock that are flooded with seawater.
Coral Reefs: Built by millions of coral polyps, small colonial animals resembling overturned jellyfish that use excess carbon dioxide in the water from the atmosphere and turn it into limestone.

Reflection
This project was one that went by extremely fast. I also played to my disadvantages since we had to create the brochure by hand, instead of using the computer. This resulted in me having to spend extra time finishing my design since I am accustomed to the fast pace planning methods of using technology. Once I finished though, I felt accomplished since the time I put into my brochure shows.
