The main feature of the 590 sq km park is Zion Canyon. It is 24 km long and up to 800 m deep. It is cut through the reddish and tan- colored Navajo Sandstone. The highest elevation is 2,660 m at Horse Ranch Mountain. Zion National Park includes mountains, canyons, mesas, monoliths, rivers, slot canyons, and arches. ZION NATIONAL PARK [1] ZION NATIONAL PARK [2] ZION NATIONAL PARK [3] GRAND CANYON The Grand Canyon National Park is situated in Azizona. It was established in 1919. Area: 492,608 ha In 2011 there were about 4.3 million visitors. It is 30 km long and 1.6 km deep. The Colorado river flows through the Grand Canyon. There are the North Rim and the South Rim (more tourists). GRAND CANYON [4] GRAND CANYON [5] DEATH VALLEY Death Valley National Park is situated in California and Nevada. It contains a diverse desert environment of salt-flats, sand dunes, badlands, valleys, canyons, and mountains. Badwater Basin is 86 m below sea level. Death Valley is the hottest and driest place in North America. BADWATER BASIN [6] ZABRISKIE POINT [7] DEATH VALLEY The Racetrack Playa is a salt dry lake with “sailing stones” that leave “racetrack” imprints. The Racetrack Playa 1,130 m above sea level. It is 4.5 km long 2 km wide. It is also exceptionally flat. The sailing stones are a geological phenomenon found in the Racetrack. RACETRACK PLAYA [8] EVERGLADES Everglades National Park is situated in Florida. In the United States, it is the largest subtropical wilderness, On average Everglades are visited by one million people each year. The Everglades are a network of wetlands and forests. Animals include the Florida panther, the American alligator, etc. EVERGLADES [9] EVEGLADES [10] SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK Sequoia National Park is situated in California. It was established in 1890. The park contains Mount Whitney 4,421 m. The park is famous for its giant sequoia trees, including the General Sherman tree, one of the largest trees on Earth. The General Sherman tree grows in the Giant Forest, which contains five out of the ten largest trees in the world. GENERAL SHERMAN [11] SENATE GROVE SEQUOIA [12] NIAGARA FALLS Niagara Falls is the collective name for three waterfalls on the border between the Canadian province of Ontario and the U.S. state of New York. There are three large waterfalls the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls. The Horseshoe Falls lie on the Canadian side and the American Falls on the American side. They are separated by Goat Island. NIAGARA FALLS [13] NIAGARA FALLS The larger Horseshoe Falls are about 790 m wide and 50 m high. The American Falls are 320 m wide and 52 m high. Tourist attractions include the Maid of the Mist and The Cave of the Wind, The Skylon Tower, Rainbow Bridge, etc. NIAGARA FALLS [14] QUESTIONS What do you remember about Zion N.P.?

Here, limestone concretions that occur in rocks deposited in a freshwater lake system approximately 17 million year-ago produce exquisitely preserved, fully three-dimensional insects, spiders, water mites, and fairy shrimp that can be dissolved free of their stone encasings with a diluted acid solution—one of only a handful of localities worldwide where fossil insects can be removed successfully from their matrixes without obliterating the specimens. ii Table of Contents Chapter Page 1—Fossil Plants At Aldrich Hill 1 2—A Visit To Ammonite Canyon, Nevada 6 3—Fossil Insects And Vertebrates On The Mojave Desert, California 15 4—Fossil Plants At Buffalo Canyon, Nevada 45 5--Ordovician Fossils At The Great Beatty Mudmound, Nevada 50 6--Fossil Plants And Insects At Bull Run, Nevada 58 7-- Field Trip To The Copper Basin Fossil Flora, Nevada 65 8--Trilobites In The Nopah Range, Inyo County, California 70 9--Field Trip To A Vertebrate Fossil Locality In The Coso Range, California 76 10--Plant Fossils In The Dead Camel Range, Nevada 83 11-- A Visit To The Early Cambrian Waucoba Spring Geologic Section, California 88 12-- Fossils In Millard County, Utah 95 13--A Visit To Fossil Valley, Great Basin Desert, Nevada 107 14--High Inyo Mountains Fossils, California 119 15--Early Cambrian Fossils In Western Nevada 126 16--Field Trip To The Kettleman Hills Fossil District,

    Differential Gps/Gis Analysis of the Sliding Rock Phenomenon of Racetrack Playa, Death Valley National Park

    DIFFERENTIAL GPS/GIS ANALYSIS OF THE SLIDING ROCK PHENOMENON OF RACETRACK PLAYA, DEATH VALLEY NATIONAL PARK. Paula Messina; Department of Geology; San José State University; One Washington Square; San José, CA 95192-0102 < [email protected]> Phil Stoffer; U.S. Geological Survey; 345 Middlefield Road, M.S. 955; Menlo Park, CA 94025 <[email protected]>. The Racetrack Playa, at an elevation of 1131 m, is a dry lakebed nestled in the Panamint Range in Death Valley National Park, California. Though almost perfectly flat, it shows evidence of dynamic traction (sliding) of boulder-sized and smaller rock fragments that tumble onto it from two abutting cliffs and surrounding alluvial fans (Figure 1). Scars of sliding rock activity in the form of recessed furrows have been noted since the beginning of the twentieth century (Clements, 1952, Kirk, 1952, Shelton, 1953, Stanley, 1955, Schumm, 1956, Sharp, 1960, Sharp and Carey, 1976, Reid et al., 1995, Messina, 1998, others), yet to date no one has witnessed the actual surface process that causes the rocks to slide. Previous mapping missions, particularly those conducted by Stanley (1955) and Reid et al. (1995), Figure 1: Two diverging sliding showed a high degree of parallelism among selected sliding cobbles. rock trails. These surveys hypothesized that rocks inscribe grooves on the playa surface while embedded in a cohesive ice sheet, particularly during winter storms. Through experimentation, Sharp and Carey (1976) and Bacon, Cahill and Tombrello (1996) concluded that ice rafts may not necessarily contribute to the phenomenon. The location of every rock and its associated trail was recorded Figure 2: Oblique USGS aerial image of the Racetrack, using Differential Global Positioning draped on the USGS Ubehebe Peak 7.5’ DEM (2x vertical System (DGPS) and Geographic exaggeration).

    Early Fall Tournament 2018​: I Guess Brexit Really Does Mean Brexit Edited by Tejas Raje, Billy Busse, Alex Damisch, Ike Jose

    Early Fall Tournament 2018: I guess Brexit really does mean Brexit ​ Edited by Tejas Raje, Billy Busse, Alex Damisch, Ike Jose, Dylan Minarik, Eric Mukherjee, Will Nediger, Jacob Reed, Ryan Rosenberg and Kenji Shimizu Written by Jordan Brownstein, Rob Carson, Joey Goldman, Auroni Gupta, Andrew Hart, Kady Hsu, Ryan Humphrey, Young Fenimore Lee, Ewan MacAulay, Benji Nguyen, Andrew Wang and Jason Zhou Tossups 1. A contemporaneous critic accused a member of this artistic movement of “prostituting his own wife.” That ​ artist was commissioned to paint a series of four panels depicting the Elements, of which he only completed Arion on the Dolphin, representing Water, and Vertumnus and Pomona, representing Earth. The name of this ​ ​ ​ style derives from the name of a similar style of decoration, whose name in turn derives from the name of a (*) seashell-shaped decorative motif. An artist from this movement depicted a man commonly identified as Gilles in ​ a white costume in his painting Pierrot, and invented a pastoral genre called the fête galante (“FET guh-LONT”), ​ ​ ​ ​ exemplified by his Embarkation for Cythera. For 10 points, François Boucher (“boo-SHAY”) and Jean-Antoine ​ ​ Watteau (“vah-TOH”) practiced what highly ornamental artistic style that immediately followed the Baroque? ANSWER: Rococo [prompt on “Late Baroque” but do not accept or prompt on just “Baroque”] ​ ​ ​ ​ <WN, Painting> 2. In an essay titled for this book’s author’s “Ambiguity,” Edmund Wilson argued that its central character is ​ a “case of sex repression.” The ambiguous exclamation “you devil!” in this book’s last chapter may refer to either the direct antecedent or to the other person in the room.

We recorded the first direct scientific observation of rock movements using GPS-instrumented rocks and photography, in conjunction with a weather station and time-lapse cameras. The largest observed rock movement involved .60 rocks on December 20, 2013 and some instrumented rocks moved up to 224 m between December 2013 and January 2014 in multiple move events. In contrast with previous hypotheses of powerful winds or thick ice floating rocks off the playa surface, the process of rock movement that we have observed occurs when the thin, 3 to 6 mm, ‘‘windowpane’’ ice sheet covering the playa pool begins to melt in late morning sun and breaks up under light winds of ,4–5 m/s. Floating ice panels 10 s of meters in size push multiple rocks at low speeds of 2–5 m/min.
