Sand

and don’t kick me.” Raven, in all her hideous warty wonder, climbed onto Aragon’s back. Mason and I scramble up behind her. The burning sand quivered as the dragon picked his way to the top of the highest Plateau and stopped at the summit, which gave us an unrivaled view of the terrain. A patchwork of Barrel cactus speckled the sand and spread across sand dunes that rose away to meet lonely flat-topped mesa with steep sides, where the sun was casting its first long plum and russet shadows…

everywhere together from the sweet smelling Knaebe’s Apple Farm to the rocky beach of the roadside park on Grand Lake. However the day in the crystal clear, sky blue water of Lake Avalon was the utmost best of them all. The hoofprints in the wet, grainy sand were being washed away as the waves hit the shore, in which Chance would flinch,he'd…

I reached out for the golden sand and sifted a handful of small worthless stones through the gaps of each finger. The droplets of salty water stung my wounds in my bloody barefoot, as the waves slithered its way up. The pain was numbed by the exhaustion,…

baked, thirsty sand, leading my fingers to do the same. What could he be doing up there? At that moment all I had known was that on top of the dune behind me, a surprise was in the making. Hoping to catch a glimpse of the excitement, I snuck my head around my shoulder, but the trees were too good of guards to see anything. This can't take too much longer can it? I wouldn't think he would be able to- "Meghan, you can come up now!" Heart pounding, I awkwardly stood up and brushed the sand off of…

You don't want the roots from your trees and bushes to grow under your pavers. Since many tree and bush roots grow close to the surface, they can easily push up the dirt under you pavers. This will make the pavers uneven, which can prevent a tripping hazard for anyone walking over your pavers. It will also make it very difficult for anyone who uses a walker or a wheelchair to navigate over your pavers. Remove The Pavers If the roots have grown completely under your pavers, you are going to…

Introduction Soil Texture The classification of soil texture is determined by the percentage of each of the soil separates. Soil separates are mineral particles smaller than 2mm, and these particles are sand, silt and clay. These textures are separated by the size of the particles, with sand being the largest between 2mm and 0.05mm, silt at between 0.05mm and 0.002mm, and clay at <0.002mm. The size of the particles influences the porosity and other characteristics of the soil. The soil…

The US Geological Survey tested the performance and effectiveness of the Basins in 1969. Their study analyzed data gathered from three basins located in both Nassau and Suffolk county. All three basins had different shapes and drainage area sizes in order to determine an average performance from all the systems. To determine the effectiveness, the basins were analyzed in three different areas: Precipitation-Inflow relation, Runoff Hydrograph, and Rates of Filtration. The three basins analyzed…

Hopping will soon be smiling a lot, Jessica thought. Just beyond town, Beach Haven Drive was already clogged with cars as the summer people were arriving to open up their beach houses.
