A Experiment On The Geologic And Field Reports

Little Cottonwood Canyon is a site bursting with geological history, rock formations earthquake potential on the fault, prehistoric glacial formations, landslides, and many hazards associated with it. The Wasatch fault is bound to have a enormous earthquake in the future and has left behind numerous scars. The mountains have been engraved by glacial formations dated back to the Ice Age (~14,000 years ago). Rock falls and landslides have left hefty boulders as indication of erosion and moisture in the rocks. The hazards on this mountain range are mass wasting, radon, earthquakes, and flooding of Little Cottonwood Creek.

Most people think that the Providence Canyon which is also known as "Little Grand Canyon" should stay a state park. Well, I believe that it should become a national park. There are so many things that the park would make better if it were a national park.

The Grand Canyon is carved by the Colorado River in the state of Arizona. The Grand Canyon is 277 miles long, about 18 miles wide and a depth of more than a mile. Any clues that scientis usually rely on have been sweap away by the rivers water or barried by landslides or destroyed by volcanos. Rocks give geologiest complete geological rocords of earth; as if each rocks told a story that was billions of years old. One clue is the "Black rocks" located at the end of this river.

Have you heard or visited the Providence Canyon? If so don't you think the Federal Government should make it a national park? The Providence Canyon is located in the southwest of Georgia's Coastal Plains. It was nicknamed Georgia's " Little Grand Canyon" because of the beautiful sandstone formations found in that area. The people that have visited this canyon think that it is a beautiful place to go that you can even camp in it. The Providence Canyon was once a forest, but that all changed in the 1800 when farmers moved in the area and started growing crops. There are several things that travelers can see while they are at this little grand canyon.

Ten thousand years ago, mammoths once inhabited the land we now call home. Where we eat and shop, where we sleep and go to class was once home to these beasts. Standing over fourteen feet tall and with tusks over sixteen feet long these animals found the area now known as Waco their home. I did not know that mammoths even inhabited the Texas, and even more surprised that they lived here in Waco. There are many incredible things that happen here in Waco, and the Waco Mammoth National Park is one of them. This newly sanctioned national park is beautiful and with its incredible history it attracts the attention of thousands of tourists every year. For this park, I analyzed, the quality of the tour and for the tour guide to be informative, if the price of the park is worth the money,

Smith Rock State Park is awesome. It is located near my home in Central Oregon. It is a frequent place for locals and visitors from all over the world. The spectacular spires and walls are carved out of 30-million-year-old welded tuff and rhyolite rocks that formed from the ash explosions and lava flows of an eruptive volcano. Geologists have identified a 230-square mile depression, called a caldera, that is all that is left of this ancient volcano. A caldera is a giant crater that forms when a magma chamber beneath a volcano erupts a large volume of material. The top of the volcano literally collapses into the newly emptied chamber, creating a huge depression. Smith Rock State Park is on the northwest corner of what is now known as

As the appointed state geologist, Dr. Eugene Allen Smith spent his career surveying and studying Alabama’s unique geology. Dr. Smith is credited with the creation of the Alabama geological map in 1927. As a professor at the university, Dr. Smith could only do his research in the summer. During the summer, Smith and his team would travel across the state surveying the land with the same tools modern geologists use today. This map became crucial to Alabama’s industrial development, as that it displayed the rocks and minerals available throughout the state. This map’s accuracy allowed for Alabamians to exploit the earth of it’s minerals like iron and marble. Dr. Smith understood the importance of Alabama’s natural history, and petitioned the

The document “Lewis and Clark’s Journal of Exploration Excerpt” was written by Lewis and Clark 's in the form of a journal. Meriwether Lewis was a captain of the regular army who had extensive frontier experience. (Lewis, 1) With him would be William Clark, Clark was a former lieutenant in the army who was recommissioned as a commander for the “corps discovery” (Lewis, 1). Along with forty or fifty men. The one thing that made Lewis and Clark different was they were both nature fanatics. Two men with military backgrounds with a love for nature along with forty or fifty other men were set out to go study and strengthen relationships with tribes along the Mississippi river.

Kevin Krajick’s article “Tracking Myth to Geological Reality” was published by American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2005. This article examines how many myths can be linked to geological evidence. Geologists have been investigating how ancient geological phenomenon are able to shed light on the origins of many myths. Scientist have even uncovered evidence that may serve as the inspiration for biblical stories. Many are hoping that understanding these myths and the geological phenomenon they depict will reveal important information about natural disasters like: tsunamis, floods and volcanic eruptions. It is hoped that this information will save human lives in the future. With all of these new discoveries it is important to

Colorado State Parks are large tourist attractions as well as a significant part of the state. The topic of Parks & Recreation and Tourism is of importance because the state brings in a large amount of funds and provides safety for the environment and wildlife, while providing activities and jobs for those that live here.

The Denver Basin began to form as early as 300 million years ago. The site is made up of paleozoic, mesozoic, cenozoic and sedimentary rock layers. The formation of the Denver Basin is known as “Colorado Orogeny”. Orogeny is a process in which the Earth’s crust is folded and deformed to create a mountain form. During this process, the Ancestral Rockies were formed. Other rocks formed during this time period include the Fountain Formation; which is most visible at Red Rocks and Boulder Flatirons. The Basin was most likely deepened in the Paleogene time, which was between 66 and 45 million years ago. In between that time period, the Laramide orogeny formed the modern day Colorado Rockies. The Denver Basin is centered in eastern Colorado. Around

Should Providence Canyon become a national park or should this, "Little Grand Canyon," stay a state park? I say that Providence Canyon should not become a national park. These are reasons why. Locals would be the only one to see this Canyon, it is one of the, "Seven Wonders of Georgia," and tourists may affected the plants, colors of the sand, and trails would be used more often which is hurting the environment. Also at national parks they add places to eat, sleep or a place to buy souvenirs.

The Grand Canyon tops many travelers' ultimate bucket list. In a country with countless scenic views, there's no shortage of the breathtaking sights. While it may be a small fraction of that other canyon in Arizona, there's a Little Grand Canyon right in the heart of south Georgia. Georgia's Providence Canyon is located about 150 miles south of Atlanta, and is part of a 1,003-acre outdoor recreation area. Whether you're wandering the Peach State or embarking on a canyon tour of the U.S., Georgia's Little Grand Canyon is worth a top spot on your travel list. The federal government decided not to make Providence Canyon a national park. They must not realize the repercussion of doing so. Tourist, educational information, and the environment-wildlife each have effective outcomes on making this canyon a national park.

I think the federal government should make Providence Canyon a national park because it is said to be the second biggest canyon in the world next to the Grand Canyon, it shows how farming in the old days could cause environmental changes, and it is something that shows what has happened to the earth over time.
