    Mount St. Helens, located in Skamania County Washington State, had an eruption which caused the death of fifty-seven people on May 18, 1980. A cloud full of ash rose into the sky, turned everything dark, and made any given time of day appear as black as midnight across many of the north-western states. It was recommended that people not leave their homes and they were told to wear gauze masks to keep the ash from entering their lungs. The eruption also caused about one thousand miles of roads to close (including state highways), trains to be stopped, and it forced aircraft to land. The repairs for the roads alone cost hundreds of millions of dollars.…

    What I love most about Iron Mountain is you’re never too far away from the wilderness. I routinely have deer, rabbits, and other woodland critters in my yard, and it’s not uncommon to come across bears, coyotes, or even moose on the way to exams.

    Having visited Herne Bay for my GCSE’s geography coursework I found out that the rock sample from the (unprotected) base of the cliff in Reculver leaves clear visible mark on the paper and therefore shows that it is a less resistant rock. Reculver is made of London Clay and is a soft rock which means that it can get eroded easily. On the other hand, the managed part in Herne Bay shows that the flint rock which makes up the shingle beach at Herne Bay doesn’t smudge on the paper instead it made scratchy marks on the paper. The edges of these rocks were rounded off which testify that Attrition takes place in Herne Bay.…
