Geology Photo Journal Project #7 What to photograph: A volcanic geological feature.

 What to photograph:

A volcanic geological feature.  The feature must be large – at least as large as an outcrop.  You may need to use the internet to learn more before you go exploring, but there are numerous volcanic features in the SLO area.  Find one and take some pictures!  Pictures should include one or more of the entire feature, then if possible, one or more pictures of individual rocks.


I want to start off by saying I wasn't able to get any cool close ups of volcanic geological features here in SLO so I wanted to share something from over a year ago that matches this theme. (I know this defeats the purpose of the photo journal a bit I'm sorry) 



This photo is from when I went to Maui like 2 summers ago and what best matches volcanic activities than the Hawaiian islands. So this photo shows a volcanic lava coastline, the feature formed when lava erupted from a volcano then flowed to the ocean cooling it off and turning it into solid basalt rock.  When the volcano was active it would of covered the whole flooring with flowing lava!!  Some characteristic of this shoreline are its dark and rocky appearance which is common in igneous rock. To be specific it would be igneous extrusive rock as it formed from lava cooling on the surface. Something cool is that this process has been happening for many years which helps build out the Hawaiian islands. Some side note is that when we went it was shortly after there was a big fire on Maui, and that's my mom on the right! 

man I looked bad back then

  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...
