1.What does your map show? Please briefly describe it.
Significant earthquakes around the world for the past 2,000 years. It also shows countries, tectonic boundaries and volcano activity

2.What kinds of data can you bring into a GIS?
Data can be points, lines or polygons. The data sets can represent populations, areas, percents, locations of events, boundaries, etc.

3.List at least one other dataset containing latitude and longitude coordinates.
Country data and elevation both are associated with lat/long data

4.What lingering questions (if any) do you have from today's workshop?
None at this time
Carla cleared up the "add an event theme" problem I was having! Thanks!!
