Evaluation of How the Box Hill Area is Influenced by Human Activity
The title for this piece of coursework is 'Evaluate how the Box Hill
area is influenced by human activity'.
The 'influence by human activity' reflects the way that humans utilise
the Box Hill area and the effect that leisure and tourism have on the
surrounding environment.

VERY OLD FOLDED ROCKS.
1. 225 MY : Weathering and erosion of very old folded rocks on an area
of land.

2. 175 MY : Continued weathering and erosion on land in the north;
deposition of weathered rock in the sea covering the area to the
south.

3. 120 MY : Continued erosion of the land as it is slowly uplifted and
deposition in the sea as the basin gradually deepens. The size of the
weathered rock fragments has varied- clay or sand at different times.

The site visited on this day was informally known as the Bedrock Knob (NTS grid reference: 120 342). It is in an area where patches of limestone and exposed bedrock are common. The bedrock is part of the Preca...
The third alluvial deposition consists of sand, silt and minor inter-bedded gravel, and again indicates Brimbank Park’s changing geology over time. (Geological map of Victoria, 1973). These deposits, as well as a nearby fault suggest volcanic activity 5-1.6 million years ago, which explains the olivine basalt (fig. 2) deposits which date back to to the Silurian and Tertiary period.

As can be seen from the photo( Image 1), looking downstream, there were steep sections of bank where it appeared the erosive forces of the river when high have cause part of the bank to fall away leaving steep about 1m high drops on the bank with exposed rocky soil visible. The phenomenon also illustrate that it is an alluvial landforms, which will find erosional feature from fluvial
I must admit when were given this aesthetics assignment, I figured it would be a piece of cake. I was wrong because I had to find a piece that kept my attention and left me in awe. In the lectures earlier, we discussed what we thought was beauty was and the ideas bought up were original, universal and captivating. I agree with the ideas brought up, but what about crafty, colorful and eye catching. My ideas mentioned of beauty all came to my mind when I walked into the Robert Fontaine Gallery in Midtown and noticed the contemporary piece, Abandoned Places by Nick Gentry. Nick Gentry, British artist from London, is best known for his floppy disk painting, which places emphasis on Abandoned Places is a mixed media piece that consists of oil and used computer disks on wood. His newest works are composed by layering collages of x-rays and film negatives between sheets of plexi-glass backlit by LED strips. With sensitivity of the use of x-rays and the gratitude towards people sharing them with him, he’s also elected to donate ten percent of the show’s sales to the Miami Children’s Hospital Foundation.
The agency I chose to do is the Hillandale golf course, which is located in Durham North Carolina. The reason why I chose to do my project on Hillandale golf course because since the beginning of the semester I have been traveling over to the golf course twice a week for a class learning the rules and the way the game of golf is played. Hillandale golf course is named the “Granddaddy golf course of Durham/ Research Triangle golf”. Hillandale was donated to the Durham area back in 1911 through the philanthropic interests of long-time Durham resident John Sprunt Hill. Donald Ross and Perry Maxwell originally designed the course. Donald Ross had designed the first 9 holes and Perry Maxwell came up with the last 9 holes. Since 1960 over 1.7 million rounds of golf have been played that being an average of 45,000 yearly. This public golf course provides a challenge from each level of players in the game of golf. In 1960, the Hillandale Golf Course was moved to its current location in Durham and was redesigned by George Cobb, who is also the designer of the Surf Club in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
The landslide has progressively moved over the last hundreds of years. A number of research papers that contain measurements and trends of the movement of the landslide have been published. Donnelly (2006) provided a comprehensive overview of the movements of the landslide and the surrounding areas, paying particular attention to the effects on the A625. The road began to crack around 1910 with 2.5m of subsidence measured in the January of 1915...
Hydrological lifecycle gets disturbed. Q3. What is the difference between a 'S' and a 'Q'? Do you think the mining process is faster when you know in advance that the land must be restored?
The Riparian forest Tulare Lake and other landscapes in the Valley have diminished as the population grew (class lecture, Richaud, 2018). If the population growth is to continue as expected, the Central Valley will lose the good soil that is necessary for
Problems with shoreline dating Shoreline dating has two major issues, geological constraints and the assumption that rock art was created on the shoreline, and if so how long after its emergence from the water. The latter is hard to constrain but using archaeological techniques we can reduce the uncertainty, however the former is directly supported by the resolution level of detail of current geophysical and dating methods. A detailed study of the geological history, settings and effects on shoreline dating methods is beyond the scope of this paper however the importance of this must not be overlooked. A brief summary of the geological constraints is as follows.
Land subsidence in Jakarta is triggered by natural and anthropogenic process. Since Jakarta is located on alluvial plain, natural-compaction of deposits causes land subsidence (Chaussard et al., 2013). On the other hand, anthropogenic-induced land subsidence is a result of inappropriate human activities with government plan. Raucoules, Colesanti, & Carnec (2007) and Yuill, Lavoie, & Reed (2009) enlightened that some anthropogenic processes of land subsidence results from groundwater extraction, surface water drainage change, sediment loading, and other human-induced activities. As consequence, land subsidence due to groundwater extraction restricts sustainable development of resources, environment, and economy (Wang,
The Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate how chemical weathering affects the different types of rocks.
We visited a place called Red Bluff. The place does not encourage visitors because it could be harmful due to the muddiness, unclear trail, and the various jumps and climbing you have to do. The path to the center of Red Bluff you could see the impact of geological processes as you saw the mini stream of water effects on the minerals that became mud. But when we arrived there were plenty of risk takers that were young and old. According to the Clarion Ledger, “The geological formation created by millions of years of erosion from the west bank of the Pearl River.
