Here is a picture from my home state Arizona. The small hill shows sedimentary rock layered through it. In Arizona you can find examples of this type of rock pretty much everywhere and with the right time of day the colors will blow you away. Looking at this picture you can see the erosion taking place from the rain water. This splash erosion is taking away the softer rocks and forming the shape of the hill.

 I choose to talk about the Karatoa Eruption in 2018, It was not the most powerful eruption on the scale it came in at a 2. No one was hurt or killed. This is a fairly active volcano as it erupts every 5 years or so.

I found this older drawing depicting a eruption hundred of years ago. I find it fascinating that the volcano has stayed active enough for people to witness across the centuries. I have also notice that the picture shows the island to be different than present day.

Hey everyone! So my camera broke and I could not take a picture of a mineral this week. No worries because I am from Arizona and I have come across this fine mineral many times. This is Pyrite it is also know as "Fool's Gold" because it shows a resemblance to gold.

Hey everyone! My name is Tanner Cardiff and I am posting from Salt Lake City Utah. I am originally from Kingman Arizona and I am studying global supply chain. I hope to complete this class with more knowledge about the geology around where I live. I have never really paid attention to the geology around me so I am excited to learn more about how it impacts my life.
