Quiz #1 (take home, due Friday)3 simple questions:
• Who are you? (name, year, major)
• What do you hope to learn in Geology 110?
• Where is home?
(This could be where you were born, where you were raised, where you live now, where your folks live... Whatever feels most like home to you.)

Quiz #1 (take home, due Friday)
1 question that requires a tiny amount of effort:• What are the coordinates of home in latitude
and longitude? I grew up in Jackson, WY, USA, so I would say: Decimal degrees: 43.472° N, 110.771° W
or Degrees, minutes, seconds: 43°28′19″ N, 110°46′16″ W
