Gorges

This photograph was taken on a field trip to Elora Gorge. Elora Gorge is an important landscape in Ontario and is also a prime example of significant change to a landscape by physical processes. Largely, it is the result of erosion by water at the end of the last glacial period. The most recent glacier over North America, the Laurentide Ice Sheet, resided almost all over Canada. Eventually, the sheet melted, allowing water possessing a strong stream discharge to be released in numerous directions

in the dark. Underneath the hazy moonlight, Thomas could see steep slopes surrounding him on either side. He felt like an ant in a sidewalk crack, but this was no crack, this was a place he feared the most, it was Windy Gorge. Staring up, he could see a line of tree in the gorge, with numerous crows perched on it branches. The twisted limbs hung like boney fingers, waiting to grab it next victim. Thomas attempted to stand on his feet. His body ached, and he felt like he had just fallen down a flight

Portion sizes in America have grown tremendously over the past decades, according to Erica Goode in her article “The Gorge-Yourself Environment”; I have researched her assertions and intend to demonstrate that she is right.

As they crested the rise, Riasean and Larah looked out at Cazidor. In front of them, to the West, lay undulating plains, ending in the rocky boundary of the Allurian Sea, where it pounded the shores of the long narrow kingdom. The road they were on plunged down the slopes and turned north into a copse of trees before reappearing again, just outside a small village astride the road. To their far right, they could see the spires of Wolfbern rising toward the sky. The rumble of thunder echoed behind

Nestled in between two countries is a great gorge, a river flowing through the bottom. The sides are made of rock and they reach their rigid hands up to the sky. When the sun falls, pinks, purples, and oranges paint over the landscape. It looks almost mystical. It is here that we are taught never to go. Although the danger seems to be gone in the summer months, very few venture out into the gorge. They say it’s beautiful, that the stars have never looked as bright as they did staring up at them

we decided to go white water rafting. There was eight of us that went, Gene, Lori, Andrew, Mitchell, Shane, Jenna, Trenna, and I. It was an early morning, we had to get up at 6:00 am to drive to Royal Gorge Rafting. We packed into the minivan we rented and started the long drive. We got to Royal Gorge Rafting and I was beyond excited. We got all of our gear on, helmet, lifejacket, and water shoes, and were ready to go. You had to take a yellow school bus, which smelled like old leather, to get to

Settlements began to pop up all over the newly discovered land, now known as the United States of America,with settlements belonging to France, Spain, and England. While Spain and France had settlements they were outside of what is now America. England on the other hand started the thirteen colonies that were the beginning of the United States of America.
