Geology Photo Journal Project #6 fight against erosion

 

What to photograph:
A place where humans have changed the land or created structures to fight against erosion.  We have been studying primarily natural phenomena, but now I would like you to show a place where people have done significant work in order to stop natural phenomena from occurring.

This photo shows the back side of our football stadium. When building a stadium a whole lot is needed to change in nature and it's surroundings to be able to even start. They need to level the land, install drainage systems and make large supports to prevent all sorts of erosion and water damage. Since it is also build above a road there is already that drainage system to fight against rain and floods. The sides have gutters to redirect water and from what I can tell at a glance there is no real signs of erosion so I do think that it was successful at preventing erosion. I think the specific purpose of the change here was to just provide a stable foundation for the stadium while making sure erosion is prevented as football is one of calpoly's pride so doing a good job is a must.

  This will be some of my journey entries  I will be typing them though     #1 Making fun of my lunch Nov 10 If someone were to make fun of my lunch I would not really care for it too much since I`m the one who likes it and enjoys it. If I want to eat the food I like then let me eat it who are you to tell me what and what not to eat. If they cared so much and what I ate they should make me lunch themselves if that's what they want. #2 Zombie Apocolypse  Nov 17 If it were the case of a zombie apocalypse and I were to know months in advance then I would find a bunker and stockpile food and supplies and good fortification to prepare to defend it. Then find a way to get some guns and lots of ammo for them to hold back the undead. I would also get a sharp and durable melee weapon because ammo won't last forever. Then I would get some friends of mine to help out. And last I would train months in advance to get fit enough to outrun the zombies.  #3 First impressio...

  Journal entries 5                                                               DEC 4      Well if I was merged with the person I hated the most it would be awkward, to say the least. It would be even more awkward if the person you dislike does not feel the same hatred. At first, we would freak out as most people would when Physically merged with another human. The following thing to do is to try to find out why this happened and how to fix it. Then after all hope is lost throw everything aside and converse since you'll probably be stuck for a while.   Dec 7     I think people resort to intensive violence just either out of pure hatred for another or to send a serious message. Like what happens in pearl harbor these people don`t want to get messed with so they sent the message with an att...

  The Final Reflection                                                                  Alright, where should I start off...           Well to begin with this WHOLE year has been very strange. Not only were schools closed but there is a deadly virus spreading. But lucky enough for us we have an online school "hooray", I was just expecting for everything to be on canvas but this class caught me a bit off guard with the whole Blogger thing. I've never had used a blogger so it took me a little to understand. It also was new to me that this class had very few due dates which felt nice at first but were a tiny curse in the future. Also, the teacher is very nice and chill Shout out to Dr.Preston.    What I found most meaningful in the experience we had is how everyone was so nice and th...
