Introduction Weathering occurs through interaction between rocks, soils, and minerals and the Earth’s atmosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere. Different types of weathering fall under three general categories of weathering: physical, chemical, and biological. Tafoni weathering refers to small cavernous holes and features that is found in granular rock. Typically, these features include smooth concave walls and are adjacent with one another in networks. Tafoni weathering is a subtype of weathering

runoff depth. Combined evaporation and transpiration from plants (evapotranspiration) is balanced by inflows as precipitation and outflows as runoff. Based on a research conducted by McGuiness (1963) for a period of seventeen years (1933-1949), the Rock Creek basin received an average precipitation of 43.5 inches, in which 12 inches was surface runoff. Therefore, if the precipitation and runoff values are substituted into the equation above, actual evapotranspiration rate of the basin equals 31.5 inches

Park Cities surrounds Southern Methodist University and is located in a tiny nook of Central Dallas North of I-75, between I-75 and the North Dallas Parkway (Tollway). Highlights of this city include rows of very well maintained homes owned by some of the wealthiest people in Dallas. The per-capita income in Park Cities is higher than any other Dallas suburb. The homes are older in this area, but the land

helped me look outside the box and to really relate geography to my everyday life. My first relatable topic that I came in contact with during this assignment was the process of evaporation. At Dry Creek park in Modesto, CA, I witnessed evaporation taking place in the creek. I have been going to this park for quite some time and in the summer, water levels decrease drastically. Evaporation is one of the four phases in the hydrologic cycle (water cycle). According to our Geosystems Eighth Edition book

fans will never be bored in Denver, as it is home to seven professional sports teams including soccer, lacrosse and rugby.

When one thinks of Death Valley National Park in California, the first image that comes to mind is usually an endless desert of dry, cracked terrain or rippling sand with little wildlife or vegetation. While that is what you’ll find in most of Death Valley today, it wasn’t always so. During the Holocene Eon and the Pleistocene ice ages, Death Valley had its fair share of streams and rivers, many of which originated from the nearby mountains. In fact, the driest area of Death Valley today was once

dating for a while, Levy told her aunt and friend Michelle Yanez about her ‘boyfriend in politics’ (Miller 1-2). The day she went missing she had spent the morning packing for a trip home for graduation. She then searched for Rock Creek Park on the internet before visiting the park, where she was found months later. That day, April twenty-ninth, was the last day anyone heard from her. Nine days later her parents asked Condit if he knew where she was, he did not, so they reported her as missing. Before
