Leakey Site Location

1093 Words5 Pages

Site Location The location of our site is in Bartow County, Georgia. This site is best known as the Leakey Site. It was an archaeological resource survey of proposed widening along state route 61. The two site locations we decided to focus our research on are 9BR663 and 9BR665. Environmental Setting The area of the Leakey Site is within 3.1 miles of the Cherokee Upland District and Hightower-Jasper Ridges District of the Piedmont Province, winding around the east side of Cartersville from the northeastern to the southwest along the Cartersville Fault. This is a major physiographic boundary between the sedimentary formations of the Southern Valley and Ridge Section and the igneous and metamorphic formations of the Southern Piedmont Section, …show more content…

Species known to have inhabited the forests of the Great Valley include numerous mice, rats, moles, and shrew, grey squirrel, fox squirrel, southern flying squirrel, cottontail rabbit, marsh rabbit, otter, muskrat, opossum, long tailed weasel, bobcat, red fox, grey fox, polecat, striped skunk, beaver, raccoon, black bear, red wolf, cougar, white tailed deer, turkey, quail, dove, a variety of hawks, golden and bald eagles, vulture, water fowl, and migratory birds, pileated and the now extinct ivory billed woodpecker, and a variety of turtles, frogs, toads and …show more content…

Winters generally have few extended periods of continuous freezing temperatures and relatively few periods of snow fall. The forest free season is approximately 200 days long. Rainfall is moderate, averaging four to five inches per month. March and December are the wettest months, while June, August, October, and November are the driest months on average. Heavy rainfall of over seven or eight inches occasionally fall in one month, resulting in excessive soil erosion at fields that are left exposed. Prior to the construction of the Allatoona Reservoir, periodic flooding of the Etowah River deposited sediment onto or scoured sediment away from the

Hell's Half Acre: A Case Study

722 Words | 3 Pages

The purpose of this paper is to compare the angular basalt cobbles lining the paved trails at Hell’s Half Acre with samples taken from the basalt flow at the same location in order to determine if the cobbles are from the surrounding lava flow. A trip was made to Hell’s Half Acre where observations were recorded and three samples of both the basalt from the trail and the flow were collected to visually compare physical and mineral properties. The study area is a unit of relatively young Quaternary lava flows found on the Snake River Plain known as Hell’s Half Acre. Trails through the lava flow are located at the Blackfoot Rest Area on I-15 in southeastern Idaho between Blackfoot, Idaho and Idaho Falls, Idaho. All observations were made and samples collected from the trails at the northbound rest area.

Brimbank Park Analysis

Since the location was near to the Maribyrnong River, the procedure must be further stimulated by the existence of the river in the ecosystem, and this is happening from the further upstream. As for the downstream, it carried by the sediment that deposited at the riverbanks of the Maribyrnong River. Weathering and erosion of the primary rock in the early stage were leading to the deposition of sediment, and the younger sediment progressively replaced the older sediment which along the riverbank (Figure 2.3). Further away from the Maribyrnong river a little bit where the river flow was gradually rapid, some Marine deposits from the Ordovician Period was found such as mudstone, interbedded shale and greywacke, which may

Carlsbad Cavern Vs. Grand Canyon

Since we were given the go-ahead to choose a geological formation other than the Grand Canyon, I thought it would be interesting to learn more about Carlsbad Cavern. My family will be taking on a road trip in a couple weeks and this is one of our points-of-interest planned stops. Carlsbad Cavern is located in the Guadalupe Mountains in southeastern New Mexico. One of its most popular attractions is the Big Room, “the largest single cave chamber by volume in North America.” [1] Ironically for this assignment, actor and comedian Will Rogers referred to it as “The Grand Canyon with a roof over it.”

Summary Of Noccalula Falls

The Noccalula Falls area was once a part of Cherokee County, but it had been taken in as a part of Etowah County. Etowah was a Creek Indian name that meant, “Tribe.” Standing on the rim of the falls with the cool water rushing around her bare feet, Charity looked down into the swirling pool of water eighty feet below and wondered if she was standing where the princess, Noccalula, had stood all those years before when she jumped into the swirling abyss and took her own life… Feeling the rocky, earth shift beneath her feet, she thought how easy it would be just to slip over the rim and into the depths of the pool below. All she had to do was to ease a little closer to the rim… Even though she stood there and contemplated it, she couldn’t do

This is due to the river growing larger, as it travels downstream. Most rivers and creeks grow larger as they flow downstream.
