The Impact of Tourism on the Natural Limestone Environment of Cheddar The aim of this piece of coursework is to investigate the impact of tourism, and a Park and Ride scheme, on the natural limestone environment of Cheddar. Cheddar is just forty-five minutes away to the south east of St Gregory's Catholic Comprehensive School. The A18 is the road that we first took to get to Cheddar and then we took the B3135 to get into the gorge, as you can see on the map on page . We visited Cheddar
A Visit to the Bristol Caverns in Tennessee The Bristol Caverns are over 200,000,000 years old and were used as a secret way of travel for the Cherokee Indians (http://www.tenntrips.com). Being located in Bristol, Tennessee, the caverns are a part of the Appalachian Mountain Region. The Bristol Caverns are underground and considered a historical monument. During your visit to the caverns you can learn about history, while getting your exercise, at an affordable price. The Bristol Caverns
difference between the stalactites and stalagmites and other natural formations that walled the cave. A few yards later we were tramping along the pool of crystal clear water. The water was knee-deep. We continued to wade through the pool with uneven surface. As we went farther, the water rose thigh deep with rocks rising from the sand, rubbing the surface to give us a false impression of shallowness. We navigated through tight area or narrow passage way with low hanging stalactites, and tried to avoid
faced a series of dilemmas that required his knowledge in enlightenment to either preserve Communitaria or to challenge their beliefs. Using his knowledge of enlightenment, Caritat to help guide Jonny Cypselus against his communities: Malvolian and Stalactites, and to help The Revolutionary Club to find a way to gain the acceptance of mixed marriages. While at the same time professor Caritat must choose whether he will have abandoned his beliefs in the enlightenment theory to teach in Unidiversity. Thought
Philippines’ famous landforms The Philippines famous landforms are many and include the famed Chocolate Hills in Bohol , the famous rice terraces in Benguit, the Maria Cristina Water Falls (this is one of Philippines famous landforms and is know to be one of the world’s highest water falls) in Mindanao and of course the Palawan Underground River. One of the best known Philippines famous landforms are the Chocolate Hills in Bohol. The Chocolate Hills are a unique geological landform located in
Mammoth Cave National Park is home to the world’s largest known cave system. Millions of years ago this region was originally located 10° south of the equator (GORP.com, 2002) in an area was covered by shallow seas. Over the years plate tectonics have caused this area to move to 37.1833° north of the equator. Also, causing the shallow sea waters to dissipate and upheaval of the earth’s crust, known as the Cincinnati Arch (Livesay,1953). Over the years the Cincinnati Arch and surrounding areas
That night I dreamed of him, but it wasn’t like I thought that it would be. I awoke in my dream to the sight of a glittering cave ceiling above, the massive stalactites majestically hanging, almost touching the matching stalagmites rising from sparkling floor. The diamonds and rubies embedded in the walls twinkling in rays of the sun cutting through the magnificent white oak trees whose branches were like fingers
Limestone: What is limestone? Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is widely found in New Zealand. The rock is made up of more than 50% calcium carbonate (CaCO3) which is derived from the shells of tiny marine fossils. Limestone commonly forms in shallow marine water from a build-up of marine organism’s fossils. In the Waikato there are two major quarries where limestone is formed, one in Te Kuiti and another in Otorohanga which is near where the Waitomo Caves are based. In this report, I will be
Stalactites hung from ceilings like icicles and stalagmites sprung up from the ground in different peaks and colors. I was interested how all these rocks were able to tell their own story. As I stared at these rock structures, I felt myself traveling back in time, witnessing the years that it took for a water droplet to form a large cylindrical configuration. There were places where the stalactites and stalagmites met, forming an elegant column that
Crystal Cave The cave walls were rigid, yet smooth, Crystal Cave was full of mystery. My favorite vacation was the time my family and I went to Pennsylvania's Crystal Cave. Crystal Cave is one of Pennsylvania’s most famous tourist attractions, which was discovered in 1881. Crystal Cave was once completely submerged underwater and was formed by an earthquake. It was July 2017, that my family and I were staying in a hotel room in Pennsylvania. We had many things planned for this trip, so we always
Moore (1952) introduced the term ‘speleothem’ in order to describe the different types of secondary mineral deposits (i.e. decoration). Taking a step forward, Hill and Forti (1985) divided speleothems into four categories: dripstone (e.g. stalactites, stalagmites, ‘curtains’), flowstone (e.g. stone waterfalls), pore deposits (e.g. helictites) and pool deposits (e.g. ‘cave pearls’). Overall, all types of speleothems are formed by water saturated with dissolved calcite (CaCO3). As it is already
my story starts on the atlantic ocean bouncing around the waves from the crest to the trough going up and down the wave height and wave length. then all of the sudden thousands of molecules started evaporating into the air and turning into a different form of molecule we were condensating then we started transport into water droplets then we precipitated back into the water but this time closer to the shore of a . the water was still and not moving. moon came out brighter than ever being full the
My First Crush My first crush is and forever will be baseball. I have loved baseball since I first met the game. I started playing when I was in fourth grade. Baseball has always made me happy and makes my heart race. It is an amazing game and is so much fun to play. There is always an adrenaline rush when playing the game. If your team is doing well, everyone is always happy and excited, often times scoring runs and they will make amazing plays. But just as easy to be up by adrenaline

For this project, An Odyssey Odyssey, I was assigned Book III of the Odyssey. This book is entitled ‘King Nestor Remembers’, in which Telemachus and his men travel to sandy Pylos- King Nestor’s kingdom. Together, they discuss the Trojan war, specifically Odysseus’ contributions and the tragedy of his disappearance. At the end of Book III, we learn that Telemachus is setting off on a voyage to Sparta. On this journey from Pylos to Sparta, we can presume that he and his men passed through the small
"A Trip to the Moon" is considered as the first science fiction film in cinema history. Taking into account that the movie was created in 1902, Georges Melies managed to create a true masterpiece of the classic black-and-white cinematography. Scripts for most of the episodes were borrowed from the famous novels. Jules Verne's "From the Earth to the Moon" provided the image of the space capsule and giant cannon; most of the lunar episodes with blizzard, descent to the lunar crater, battle with selenites
High school is a defining period in many people's lives. They might learn who they are, what they want to do for a career, or how they will carry themselves throughout life. I was able to discover my career area because of my time in high school. Through Biotechnology, I found I would like to pursue a career in the sciences. Through my trips with my dad, I found an interest in a field of science I had never considered before until my senior year in high school. Biotechnology is a signature program
Saying that Lava Beds National Monument has everything a perfect field trip has to offer would be an understatement. Lava Beds National Monument, lies concealed in the hills of northern California. Each year the monument attracts only 130,000 captivated visitors, meaning that the attractions would not be crowded and mobbed with tourists. Lava Beds National Monument has diverse features and many places to put your attention towards, with five historical caves. The educational value of the park is
One hot and humid summer The Parks family decided to take a road trip to California. The family consisted of a father, a mother, a ten-year-old boy named Joey, and his six-month-old sister named Trinity. The family was from Houston, TX and they were planning on driving the spacious, luxurious, and monstrous sport utility vehicle that would be comfortable for the family. Mr. Parks mapped out the route he would be taking for the trip. He estimated that they would be driving one thousand miles to
This material is variously known as calc-sinter and calcareous tufa and (when used for decorative purposes) as onyx marble, Mexican onyx, and Egyptian or Oriental alabaster. Travertine is generally less coarse-grained and takes a higher polish than stalactite and stalagmite, which are similar in chemical composition and origin. Travertine, the stone of the Colosseum and St. Peters as well as of several structures in New York and Philadelphia, is not a volcanic tufa but calcareous sediment that was deposited
