| OK i am taking geology this quarter.. so I have to memorize rocks and learn about volcanoes...
I think my fav thing is learning more about how the ocean crust and the continental crust float around on the lower mantle (asthenosphere) and they collide and the ocean crust gets rammed under the continental crust... creating volcanoes and mopuntains.. SOO freaking cool!
So what do you love about our amazing earth? | |

| Rocks and rock formations- mountains, cliffs and the way they meet water- waterfalls and waves breaking. Sea Stacks and Sea Arches. OMG I love rocks!! Does your school offer Geomorphology? That was a pretty neat class, and it involved a 3-day trip driving around Pennsylvania and New York looking at their rocks! Geography Rocks! (Is it too late to tell you that I was an earth science minor and taught it for a year to 3 classes of 9th graders?) | |

| That's why I get along with Allison, I've been called a rock before....
oh gosh, too many things to like. The oceans, the plains of OK and KS, the towering peaks of the Rockies. But if I had to pick one area in particular, it would be the Appalachian Mountain chain. Especially the southern areas of the Blue Ridge and Smokey Mountains. Life is so old there. It's like you can hear the heartbeat of the earth just by listening and feel the world's breath in the mountain breezes. I love it there and don't get to visit often enough. | |

| Agreed, Neil, and Scotland (and Ireland) are near the top of my list of places to visit next. Anyway, here's my pick. These are the terraces of Pamukkale, Turkey. Remind you of Southsun Cove? | |
