Photo blog #3Geology Photo Journal Project Erosion
OBJECTIVE: Show a location that has experienced or is experiencing erosion. This should be a different location than where you found weathering last week.
Streams of water are clear giveaways when locating erosion. I found this stream on one of my walks to school. On April17th funny enough a whole month before this post...
I am not 100% sure how long this stream has been flowing but I would say a good few years and it will keep eroding the stone little by little for many more years as I think this stream connects to maybe a flood drain? It was close to a road I pass by going to school in the mornings. I didn't explore it the most but a did see some sort of hole / maybe sewer drain? Point is its always flowing with some sort of water and this means that sediment and even bits of the stone overtime get washed away from where they started.
I Can't know how far the sediment of the area has been transported but I can assume it has made it's way quite from from this rocky path.
Here is a bit of a zoomed out view of the stream -->
And of course here is the selfie
