Concept Sketches and Mass Wasting

A concept sketch is a simplified drawing illustrating the main aspects of landscape or system. It is annotated with concise but complete labels that identify important features. Short sentences describe the processes that are occurring. The final aim is to show the relationships between features and processes. It is not simply a sketch labeled with only the names of features. See a rubric below for what is expected for each success level. Point values will be determined by your instructor.

Please consider GEOS Physical Geology Lab Manual as well as your lecture textbook as you create your concept check.
