Mechanical Weathering
This is where Mr. Brown showed everyone an example of mechanical weathering. There is a sycamore tree and an oak tree growing in the same crack of this rock. As the trees grow they will slowly break the rock apart.
Explaination
Everyone gathered around to hear Mr. Brown talk about the geologic history of the Milerton Lake area.
Taking notes
Students taking notes while Mr. Brown lectures on the area.
Rocks
The dark spots in this photo are metamoprhic rock that was included into the surrounding granite. Millions of years ago, magma intruded into the area, melting some of the surrounding rock. As they cooled they created a mixture of metamorphic and intrusive igneous rocks.
Eggs
We found what appeared to be egg sacks in the water and covering trees and rocks in areas that had been recently covered in water.
