Mass Wasting and Infiltration

In the movie, the area below is called the Training Grounds Firespot Ledge. In this image, the layout of this area is a form of colluvium. There are angular slopes in many directions. One view is from the top of the rocks towards the view to the bridge and below the bridge. 

Another form I saw was the evolution models. Evolution models are made from pediments. Those are the flat surfaces before another towering piece of land is formed. In the images it shows below the bridge where there is a flat surface and the rocks where the bridge is sitting is where there is pediments.

The image shows a form of talus casued from the rocks falling. We can see the rocks are pieces that look has been broken and landed on each other to be in the areas it is now to have to different slopes that were formed.



From Rocks To Faults

The location of this area has lots of geographic landscapes caused from faults. As you can see, the rocks on both side of the small village have a tilt to it caused from compression. The rocks are pushed together and overlap. The rocks, which are made up of sedimentary rock strata. Strata rocks are mostly deposited by the ocean or anywhere where water is. The mountains in the center, far end of the image are caused the same way as the rocks. Compression caused the mountains to move up against each other and caused it to have a tilt. In the image we see Graben happening. The mountains are higher in elevation to where the city is. The valley is in a minimal vertical uplift. That is when there are spaces between higher elevated areas and has a pathway of land crossing through the center. The water in an area like the image above is called a sag pond. That is when there is a puddle of water sitting in the middle of nowhere and does not flow anywhere else.

Intro

Hello my fellow classmates, Casey and Kaelin,
The name is Houa Cha. This is the first time I have ever blogged so if it looks weird or needs lots of improvements (which i'm sure will be needed) please help me by giving ideas to add. I hope this semester is a great one and I plan to meet more of you in person instead of through blogging.

I chose the movie How To Train Your Dragon where the location is in the Island of Berk known as "Wild Dragon Cliff". When I first watched it I noticed right away of how the landscapes were set up from the clouds sitting in the sky to the cliffs to the ocean. The cliffs were the most important features of each island because each had different forms to them which made it look as if each were in a different part of the island but each were a flying distance away of a sailing distance. I’ve always had an interest of scenery where the ocean is next to an island where people lived. It always seemed stress free and lots of fresh air. I know this movie is kid-ish but I like everything.
