An educational cutaway-style photographic illustration of a Tigard neighborhood street showing typical one- and two-story homes on gently sloping terrain, combined with a transparent overlay of the ground layers beneath. The surface shows familiar Northwest elements: wet asphalt, green lawns, and towering evergreens in the background. Below, semi-transparent layers depict bedrock, compact soil, and looser sediment, with subtle, labeled lines suggesting how seismic waves travel. Soft, overcast daylight provides even lighting with no harsh shadows, maintaining a calm, analytical atmosphere. Shot from a slightly elevated, wide-angle perspective for comprehensive context, the image uses clean, modern photographic realism enhanced with technical clarity, ideal for explaining local soil and shaking differences without feeling intimidating.
