2. This is a picture of Pine
Mountain from the top of
the largest Etowah Indian
Mound. The Cartersville
Fault is a thrust fault that
runs along HWY 41 and
through Pine Mountain.
3. I believe the shaping of this rock is due to oxidation, a type of
chemical weathering.
4. I found this rock near the Etowah River. It looks like this type of
mechanical weathering is frost wedging.
5. Mass wasting has occurred along
this cliff. Debris has settled at the
bottom due to oversteepening of
the slope. I believe the
oversteepening is caused by wind
erosion.
6. Erosion
This is an example of some bed load
slowly being transferred down the
Etowah River.
7. This is the Etowah River. Rivers and streams erode and transfer
more sediment than any other process. The Etowah Indians
shallowed out this part of the river to aid in capturing fish.
8. To the left is a picture of a beach on Tybee
Island, GA, a transition zone between marine and
continental environments.
9. Above, is a view of the Pacific Ocean from Santa Monica Pier, a
marine sedimentary environment. Marine sedimentary
environments come in shallow (depths to 200 meters) and deep
(depths greater than 200 meters) categories'.
10. Stone Mountain is a world class granite mass
with a bas-relief of Stonewall Jackson, Robert
E. Lee, and Jefferson Davis on its north face.
Stone Mountain Park provides numerous
activities , such as spectacular laser shows
throughout the year.
