So, there's one less problem to worry about.
The majority of the landscape of Lava Beds National Monument was once covered with lava. Wouldn't that be something interesting to see? This field trip is something that could teach us about the history of the underground caves and how they were made. We would learn the history behind this monument and its historic wonders. It's a learning opportunity

Although they don't have eyes on each and everyone one of us at all times, we are mature enough to know what's right from wrong. There is unlikely to be a problem during the field trip. Sturdy shoes, jackets, helmets, or "bump hats", knee pads, and flashlights are encouraged. We can all provide ourselves with these things.
Just consider all the glorious caves we will be able to explore. The prominent attraction is a a two-mile cave loop that provides nearly 20 caves to explore. Some caves may be too much of a risk they we may not need to enter but others are as safe as climbing a two foot wall. We can also take guided tours of the park, hike along scenic trails, climb cinder cones, and learn about the natural volcanoes and high desert in northern California.
Without furthermore, this trip is filled with many chances to visit mystic caves. It is filled with learning opportunities on the background of these caves. You may have your concerns over this field trip, but speaking for myself and others, we believe this field trip will be an excellent way to visit the wondrous views and sights. These caves go back to 1925, when President Calvin Coolidge declared Lava Beds a national
The entire tour requires a lot of walking, so wearing tennis shoes is recommended. Dress prepared for a cool environment because while inside the cave you will experience temperatures from 50-60 degrees. As you walk along the tour of the Bristol Caverns, a tour guide will inform you about the history of the cave: such as the original entrance place to the caverns used by the Cherokee Indians and how an early pioneer would store his fruit in the cave for extended freshness (tour guide). While the guide leads you through the cave of the caverns, you can view many formations and scenes. The formations are called stalagmites and stalagtites, which are created by the moisture and minerals in the cave hardening. One inch of these formations lengths can take from 150-300 years to form (tour guide). During the tour you will venture through different levels of the cave.
Located just beyond the south entrance to the park is the visitors center and ranger station. Here you can find maps to trails, information about camping, fishing and boating, and information about the flora and fauna to be found within the park. This is a good place to start your visit, get oriented, and plan your day.
This is almost as dramatic as walking through the canyon. It climbs slightly, winding through junipers and pinon pines. As you approach the opening to the canyon, the trees become much denser, and the area takes on the look of a forest. Beyond the canyon entrance, the trail is littered with large boulders, some the size of cars, which you will need to negotiate. If you are not up for a difficult hike, you can turn back at this point. Continuing on, the trail eventually leads to the end of the canyon, where the stone walls seem to envelop you. This is an in-and-out hike, and vistas on the return trip stretch out to the red rock hills across the
Did you know, maps can help one if they are moving near an active volcano? Mauna Loa is the biggest shield volcano in the world and the lava flow is devastating. A thermal map can let people know when to evacuate. Mauna Loa has been erupting since 1832 and an elevation map will tell when and if lava is coming to destroy.
Not too far away from the town of Montignac, in the western Massif Central and Northern Pyrenees, the cave of Lascaux was discovered. Four teenage boys and their dog discovered it. The four boys, Marcel Ravidat, Jacques Marsal, Georges Agnel and Simon Coenccus, were out on an expedition, but they found more than they bargained for that day. Their dog wandered away and they searched for him. In the process, the four boys discovered a cave that had been right below their feet for the past 17,000 years. They were not able to venture down into the 250-meter deep cave on the first day so they came back the next day prepared to enter the cave. When the boys first wiggled their way down into the cave they did not find anything. It was not until they reached an oval room that they first discovered paintings on the walls. These boys had uncovered paintings dating back to the Aurignacian (30,000-18,000 B.C.E.) (Laming, 34-41) and Magdalenian (15,000-10,000 B.C.E.) periods. It is believed that many of the paintings found in Lascaux were created between 16,000 and 14,000 B.C.E. The boys could no longer keep this cave a secret, so they told one of their teachers, Monsieur Laval. After accompanying the boys down to the cave, M. Laval started alerting historians to this new discovery. Within five days three historians were already on their way to visit the site. On September 17, 1940 three experts on Paleolithic art, Abbé Breuil, Dr. Cheynier and Abbé Bouyssonnie, crawled down into the cave; it was at this point the cave became authenticated.
Wow, how cool is this. I personally believe that the board of education should approve this trip to the lava beds national Monument. The lava beds could be beneficial in how the kids learn.In today's world kids learn by seeing doing and having fun and what better place to do it than the lava beds national Monument. It has all the things a kid needs to learn: a lot of things to see and do, but most important the kids have fun while doing it.
The geology, its history, and the presence of past civilizations contribute to much of the significance of Mesa Verde National Park. The interconnectedness of these aspects should also be noted. If not for the weathering processes and changes in sea level this formation would not exist. Without it, the ancient people would not have been able to reside within Mesa Verde. This National Park now serves as a tool to help conserve the remains of these past civilizations as well as to help educate today’s society on the significance behind this astonishing geologic
Lava Beds National Monument is one of the most beautiful subjects in planet earth it has the most beautiful views and caves that it has to offer. We can not let this opportunity go away, letting the trip to a loss will lead to a ton of unhappy students. The trip could help with our studies we can help the teachers with teaching the students with a little more of a history of how the littlest things that are in the state could help so much with the standards of the school. The monument is not that far away from the school, but we could go it is located near California and Oregon State border. It is to be considered California's best-hidden secret for all the amazing objects, views, and the caves that are hidden in this one Monument. Let us reveal this secret for the school trip because we can learn something from it.
The Volcano House is the closest hotel to the park. It is close to the Halemaumau Crater. It has been in business since it was a grass shack in 1846. The desire to study the earth forms the park's main theme, coming close behind is biology. Thousands of unique organisms have gradually isolated Hawaiian islands. These are reminders of Polynesian pioneers who directed their great hulled canoes to Hawaii about 1,500 years ago.

Canyonlands National Park, immense amounts of wilderness and rock, is located at the heart of the Colorado Plateau (Canyonlands National Park-Geology). Millions of years have formed specific features to the rock and surrounding wilderness that make it so special. Throughout the park, you will find that the sedimentary rock has formed many features such as hundreds of colorful canyons, mesas, buttes, fins, arches, and spires. The Green and Colorado rivers have played a major role in the formation of many of these features. These rivers cut through the park forming two massive canyons. This further splits the park into three distinct zones. “Island in the Sky” sits to the north while “The Maze” sits off to the west and “The Needles” to the east (Canyonlands National Park Information Guide). “Island in the Sky” serves as Canyonlands’ observation tower; it allows tourists to see overwhelming vistas of the rest of the land. “The Maze,” as hinted at by the name has been described as a “30 square mile puzzle in sandstone” (NPS: Nature & Science» Geology Resources Division). This section of the park often ranks as one of the most remote and inaccessible areas of the United States. Lastly, “The Needles” is known for its diversity in rock features. Throughout this land, features such as sculptured rock spires, arches, canyons, grabens, and potholes can be seen. The varying names hint at the diversity of the land as a whole. As said by The National Park Service’s Geology Resources Division, “Traces of the Anasazi can be found in almost every canyon in the Needles. Many of their stone and mud dwellings and storehouses are remarkably well-preserved. Tower Ruins, built high on a cliff ledge in a side canyon of Horse Canyon, is an outstanding ex...
The cave and rock drawings conveyed the approach of how people survived throughout time. The two caves: Lascaux and Altamira are all observable evidence to demonstrate why the drawings are so important when discovering the past. The Burrup Peninsula is also considered an important piece because it too has historical drawings. The Lascaux Cave, located in southwestern France, is a remarkable cave that links the drawings to the prehistoric times. When looking at the viewers people can picture the life of the people in the Stone Age. They can see the different type of animals that lived during that time. The paintings are extraordinary because of their high quality and astonishing since it was painted approximately 20,000 years ago. There
These differences are in the makeup of the volcano, the impact on society, and the eruption itself. Mount Saint Helens, used to be a wonder of the world, but now a damage site of what happened on May 18, 1980. Mauna Loa is a tourist destination and one of the most active dispensers of lava and magma in the world. As shown, these volcanoes can’t be more different. Yet, each volcano has been a culprit to destruction, and have similarities within themselves. This report has expressed many similarities and differences and brought facts and knowledge to the historical eruptions by these impressive and ancient structures of
This trip starts from Denver, Colorado to Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. “Natural landform” is the main theme for this trip. I will explore the mystery of geothermal features in Yellowstone National Park.
California has numerous interesting sights. Not only the big cities but the nature to. Approximately between California and Oregon states border lyes the California’s “best kept secret.” While other national parks, such as Yosemite National Park may receive nearly 4 million visitors, the Lava Beds National Monument attracts 130,000 guests. Not having many visitors lets this monument keep its nickname.
