Why I signed up my friends for an extreme canyoning experience is beyond me, or as our Austrian tour guide eloquently put it, “crazy Americans”. The group consisted of a group of close friends, some that I have known for over twenty years. That day we tested our friendship to its physical limit. We had planned for this European backpacking trip for months in advance and I suggested canyoning the

Mt. Everest, standing 8,850 meters above sea level is taller than any other mountain in the world. Since 1922, hundreds of climbers have attempted to climb this treacherous mountain located in the Himalayan Ridge, whose summit ridge separates Nepal and Tibet.

The Rock Cycle The rock cycle is a very important cycle of our lives, we can change our form from any three ways. There are three types of rocks we can change into, metamorphic, igneous, and sedimentary. Changing our form isn’t the easiest thing in the world. We must change by either melting, erosion and compression, or heat and pressure. When I was born I started off as a little igneous rock. Before I was a rock, I was magma drifting up through the rift of a large volcano. When I finally reached

Pangea was a supercontinent that consisted of seven continents, it existed until the Triassic period where the continents started to drift 200-225 millions years ago. The theory was thought of by Abraham Ortelius. Evidently, three centuries later in 1912 by German scientist Alfred Lothar Wegener had a theory about how South America and Africa could fit together.
