Lava Beds National Monument: Field Trip
Dear, middle school principal

Lava beds national monument is a good option for a field trip, it is a good option because it could provide geological and scientific opportunities, would be an exciting experience for students and teachers, and it might get students interested in science. Lava beds national monument is a wide range of caverns beside Yellowstone national park in California. Lava beds national monument consist of over 700 caves, lava flowing tunnels, and places where rock has been eroded away. Lava beds national monument can provide a scientific opportunity because it is filled with lava streams, minerals and rocks such as crystals, and is special to that place only. Lava beds national monument stretches 47 thousands acres of caves and caverns that are full wonders. Even though the place has lava flowing around the average temperature is only 55° …show more content…
The money for the trip would be spent wisely because because the trip would give students a chance to learn while outside of school. The time away could give students a break from school related stress such as grades, and allow them to focus more on what they need to improve and how they could do so. If the trip takes away from important study time, or is scheduled on the same day as a test, then the trip or the test could be rescheduled for another time where nothing major is going on.
With this I conclude that Lava beds national monument would be an educational and exciting field trip for school. Lava beds national monument could provide scientific opportunities for students who are interested in the scientific field. It could also intrigue students not interested in science or school for that matter, to begin learning and think about studying

    Comparison Of Oregon Caves National Monument And Preserve

    Oregon Caves National Monument and Preserve is a protected area in the northern Siskiyou Mountains of southwestern Oregon near the California border, managed since 1933 by the US National Park Service. The 4,554-acre (1,843 ha) park features a marble cave that was discovered in 1874. Three years after President Theodore Roosevelt signed the Antiquities Act of 1906, President William Howard Taft used it to establish Oregon Caves. In 2014 the protected area was expanded by about 4,000 acres (1,600 ha) and designated a National Monument and Preserve. Oregon Caves is a solutional cave, with passages totaling about 15,000 feet (4,600 m), formed in marble. The parent rock was originally limestone that metamorphosed to marble during the geologic processes…

    Argumentative Essay: Lava Beds National Monument

    Lava Beds National Monument is contemplated as California's "best kept secret." This notion does not come without reason. The secluded park acquires a small estimated number of 130,000 visitors each year. When compared to Yosemite National Park's 4 million annually visits, National Lava Beds National Monuments appears as a deserted spot overshadowed by its similar neighbor. For this reason, Lava Beds National Monument would make the ideal destination for a field trip. Granted, Lava Beds National Monument being depleted of visitors may not be enough to persuade our principal, who takes their job very seriously, to approve a field trip to the same park. Fortunately, this is not the only reason as to why our principal should approve a field…

    Yellowstone National Park Research Paper

    Today was the best day ever! My family and I went to Yellowstone National Park. It was the prettiest place on earth covering 3500 square miles. Did you know that it is located atop of a volcanic hotspot? Well i didn't either until today. The park rangers told me so many facts which i would have never known. Yellowstone was established as the world's first National Park on March, 1, 1872. People had been there for more than 11,000 years shown by archaeological site. The US army managed the park from 1886-1918. The Army had accompanied many expeditions helping conserve the natural resources for the park that millions of people love today. There are more than 900 miles of walking trails, 5 entrances, 466 miles of roads, and 287 backcountry campsites.…

    The Mauna Loa Volcano

    This is partly due to the fact that the volcano was covered in cloud at high elevation and helicopters were not in use; so, most of the information we have comes from what happened on Highway 11 during the eruption. In the months and years following the eruption, the vents and flows have been examined and mapped extensively, however. The eruption occurred along almost the entire length of the SW rift zone (from 8000 to 13,000 ft) and opened up almost simultaneously (like a zipper) from an essentially continuous vent system. Consequently, lava flows poured down at numerous places on both the west and east side of the rift. The eruption lasted only two weeks but the eruption of 1859 lasted almost a whole year. So, given that the flow volume is 4 to 5 times greater than the 1984 eruption (which lasted 3 weeks) it must have been a spectacular eruption. In places the flows were obviously very fluid and flowing rapidly, since they eroded the bases of prehistoric spatter cones during emplacement. It must have been coming downhill like gangbusters! The lava flow was compositionally very heterogeneous, with the upper part of the rift eruption evolved magmas (MgO 7 wt. %). Compositions became more primitive (MgO up to 10 wt. %) down rift. However, the lowest elevation flows were the somewhat more evolved (MgO 8 wt. %). The data are consistent with mixing of a relatively primitive magma with an evolved magma that may have been residing in the rift zone (this older magma has compositions very similar to the lava produced by the 1949 summit…

    beautiful turkey run

    Hiking has always been a favorite past time of mine. In my hiking experience I have had the pleasure of hiking many beautiful state parks, none of which compares to Turkey Run state park in my opinion. When my brother john and I first arrived at Turkey Run State park we had no idea what was ahead, The park remained hidden by the blanket of tree's surrounding the park. As we entered the park I felt a little disappointed by the sight of playgrounds and a little welcoming center . I had no idea that behind the trees was an absolutely amazing adventure. We took the time to visit the center and to see what nature might lay ahead in the course of our hike, wanting to understand any precautions we may need to take. While still in the visitor center we were able to gaze upon some of the local hummingbirds,racoons and even a Red tailed fox that were eating food left by some of the staff for the animals. After enjoying the close up view of some of the the woods natives we proceeded on our journey through the woods. The first spot we came to was an old flight of stairs made of concrete as we looked into the woods a little further we noticed a old style sway bridge. Very excited we ran down the steps to go investigate the structure. Upon arriving at the bridge we took a moment to admire the structure and to also play . We spent fifteen…

    Effects of Central Rift Geological Formation on Economic Activities

    As volcanicity took place, magma spread over large area on the earth’s surface before it cooled down. This lead to the formation of plains and plateaus. This formed good habitats for different animal, bird and plant species such as flamingos at Lake Nakuru.This formed good attraction sites and beautiful sceneries which gave the central rift the aesthetic value. Then these sites were fenced and put aside as tourist attraction sites which in turn act as a source of employment to the people of the region.…
