SageMy civilization on Kepler Bb is mainly underground and the part that is on the ground is mostly plains. In the 11th chapter they have a whole sequence of earthquakes for hours. A geologist named Leon comes to look at the fault line and notices that it is very deep and very hot.
Leon says "We have all survived the earthquakes but now the fault line is so deep and so hot that a volcano can form. If it does, lava will flow through our tunnels and into our homes. We have to get out of here fast. Everybody with the power of flight, line up in groups of 4. Everybody else, get out of the tunnels, buildings, and homes whether that requires digging or not."
And there turn out to be 400 people with the power of flight.
As Leon suspected a volcano forms.
Now I am thinking of drawing regional maps by hand but for me 3 landforms are the hardest.
Mountains are hard for me to draw mainly because of the white paper blending in with the snow. I have been told that the best way to draw something white is to use a white pencil on white paper but I can't see a difference between white paper alone and white paper with a white pencil because they are so similar that my brain thinks "These are both the same white. I can't tell them apart." when they might not be the same white.
Rivers are hard for me because I tend to draw them relatively straight but I know that rivers may start off straight but are never straight for long. The branching is also a problem for me because I always leave little gaps between the branches of the river and the main part of the river.
Volcanoes are hard because:
1) There are so many types of volcanoes
2) Lava flows themselves are as hard for me to draw as rivers because a lava flow is basically a river of lava
3) When I draw the summit of the primary vent of the volcano it always looks like the peak of a mountain has broken off and not like the primary vent of a volcano
4) I never know whether to draw smooth flowing lava, a lava fountain, or both since volcanoes can have lava flows and a lava fountain during the same eruption or have 1 or the other
5) I never know whether I should draw an active volcano, a dormant volcano, or an extinct volcano
I have problems with other landforms when I draw them but not as many or as bad as with these 3 landforms.
