Prior to examining the specific geographical features of Plaster Creek, it is important to

Shrimptons Creek Parklands, located in the City or Ryde in the northern Suburbs of Sydney, comprises of seven parks that lie adjacent to Shrimptons Creek. The creek is approximately 3.3 kilometres in length, flowing in a north-south direction through the suburbs of Denistone East, Ryde and Macquarie Park. It is part of the Macquarie Park Catchment which flows through Lane Cove National Park into Lane Cove River. The park’s surroundings consists of low to medium density residential in single dwellings, commercial centres and business institutions.

The Devon River is clean, freshwater, and well dammed up. It is described as being a small, narrow river fringed by pine and birch (pg. 42) On the other hand, the Naguamsett River is described as muddy and

While studying water systems and landforms in our lab, we begin to wonder about certain climates and regions. In this paper, I will discuss the water systems and landforms found in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, as well as two other cities in the United States. I will explore the amount of water that comes and leaves their systems, as well as the natural landforms that occupy their regions.

Bola Creek Track is located within Sydney, New South Wales, within the Royal National Park. This famous heritage listed site holds the title for being Australia’s oldest national park and the second oldest in the world. The field study conducted in the surrounding rainforest of Bola Creek, south end of Lady Carrington Drive, is aimed at assessing and recording data from the area to determine the overall condition of the local ecosystem and the impact human activities are having on the area. Natural flora and fauna abundance and distribution of populations were studied and also the developed adaptations that assists their survival. Observations were recorded on the impact human activities were having on the temperate forest

By the end of this report you should have a better perception on the geological landscape of Silver Creek Wetland Complex, and further in-depth knowledge on what stewardship responsibilities fall on you and your relationship with the land you use.

“Drainage patterns, the hilliness of the ground, the range of soils, the nature of the bedrock,

Most if not all of the historical information that is provided at Town Creek today for visitors to witness is connected to the archaeological excavations that were completed of the area during the middle of the 20th century (NC Weekend). The work for the excavations began in 1937 with Floyd and Minnie Frutchey, but Floyd never got to see the completion of the excavation (Coe, 3). The excavations were completed in the year 1987 (Coe, 11). During the excavations, archaeologists recovered clay pottery, as well as bones from many of the burials that occurred during the time of residence in Town Creek. The archaeological record discovered through the excavations of Town Creek are pertinent in understanding the history of the people that lived on the bank of the Little River before English settlement occurred because very little is known historically about these people. The history of Town Creek remains somewhat a mystery because all that is known about the people and the site is solely based off of the excavations that occurred performed during the 20th century (NC

The great lakes have certainly influenced Michigan’s unique shape and distinctive mitten shape, however those lakes aren’t the only sources of water that contribute. There are over 36,000 miles of rivers and streams throughout the state of Michigan that have also helped shape the land we enjoy today. Rivers help shape landscapes through erosion and the transportation and deposition of

Relationships of rocks and their qualities are apparent ubiquitously and are comparable between Clear Creek a nearby Valley Wall. Comparability between Clear Creek and a nearby Illinois River location also display an ever-present relationship of their discharge. Through USGS, the discharge of streams and springs correlate two water types; karst development.

Stormwater is water produced by rain or melting snow, which can rapidly flow over impervious surfaces into streams. Upland development magnifies the occurrence of stream bank erosion and in-stream nutrient pollution, which also have indirect negative effects. When stream bank erosion occurs, eroding sediment causes an increase in turbidity. Heavy stormwater flows into streams mixes the streambed sediment, which also increases turbidity, and ultimately causes declines in aquatic biota (Waters 1995). Therefore, negative externalities of upland development include

The topography of the area is composed of rivers, washes, mesas, forests, and various other components. The washes that are in the Park include the Digger Wash, Wildhorse

Some of Earth’s most beautiful landmarks were formed by erosion. Many beautiful places in Michigan wouldn’t exist if water hadn’t shaped the land. For thousands of years Michigan’s lands have changed with water and they still change with water today, so let’s look at some facts.

“The Dells are part of the Driftless Area, meaning it was untouched by glacial ice. However, glaciers in other parts of the state melted, forming Glacial Lake Wisconsin; which was about 150 feet deep and the size of Utah’s Great Salt Lake. 14,000 years ago, the last ice dam holding back this large lake gave way, causing a great flood. The floodwaters poured through the area cutting out gorges, likely within days or weeks, and leaving behind the towering sandstone Dells as we see them today. The waters also tore out a channel and flooded the Wisconsin River valley,” one of our tour guides, Sophia, stated while we were on the journey to reach our designated shore landing.

Geology: Built when the Chippewa and Flambeau Improvement Company built a dam on the Flambeau River downstream from its confluence with the Turtle River

The American River basin is generally mountainous except for the small valley area on the west end between the Sacramento River and Folsom Lake. Altitudes range from about 5 ft near the confluence with the Sacramento River to 10,380 ft at Round Top Mountain, which overlooks the Silver Fork American River in the southeast corner of the basin. Basin characteristics for each sub-watershed of the river upstream from Folsom Lake are shown in Table 1. The drainage density and basin order, which are measures of the
