FIELD TRIP ONE

MORMON ROCKSThe rock formation was formed as a result of movement along the San Andreas Fault.

GRANULAR STRUCTURE

The granular structure is made up of sedimentary rocks, which developed over time

CINDER HILLThis volcano is called cinder hill (cinder cone)

LAVA FLOWSTHE LAVA FLOWS ARE MADE UP OF BALSALTIC LAVA COOLING RIGHT AFTER IT FLOWED OUT OF THE LAVA

FOSSILS FALLSThe falls were formed when the river was forced to divert its course over a basalt flow, polishing and reshaping the rock into a variety of unique shapes and forms.

HOUSE RINGS & PETROGLYPHS• HOUSE RINGS• House rings were used as foundation to

build Native American houses on

PETROGLYPHS NATIVE AMERICANS USED TO WRITE AND DRAW ON ROCKS- THESE ARE SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR 10,000 YEARS
