Mormon Rocks was formed by the folding of rock along the San Andreas Fault between the North American and Pacific tectonic plates. It is composed of cemented sedimentary rock like conglomerate and displays pockmarks on its surfaces caused by thermal expansion and erosion. The North Etiwanda Preserve protects rare Riversidian sage scrub habitat and endangered species. It was impacted by a 2003 wildfire but the vegetation has resiliently recovered, though ongoing threats from pollution and development loom.

Geo Lab field trip
The document summarizes Mormon Rocks and Etiwanda Preserve. Mormon Rocks got their name from Mormon Pioneers who camped there. The rocks were formed by the San Andreas fault lifting sandstone, which was then shaped by wind and rain. The San Andreas fault runs through the area. Holes in the Mormon rocks were formed over time as winds and rains eroded boulders. Etiwanda Preserve was created to protect the local habitat, which includes unique sage scrub plant communities. Wildlife such as pocket mice and kangaroo rats live in the preserve.

The geological history of Pismo Beach began around 180 million years ago when the area was further south and inland near the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Over millions of years, the subduction of tectonic plates helped form the Sierra Nevada Mountains and shift the coastline further west. Morro Rock, located in Morro Bay, is around 20 million years old and was once surrounded by dry land before sea levels rose again. Pismo clams have inhabited the area for over 25,000 years, though their population is now declining. The document also describes and identifies various rocks found in the Pismo Beach and Morro Bay areas.

25th Anniversary Pamphlet
The document discusses restoration efforts at Poplar Creek Prairie to restore oak-hickory woodlands and increase the less than 0.1% of tallgrass prairie remaining in Illinois. It aims to protect plant species, insects, birds and mammals that are interdependent on the prairie ecosystem. Various areas of the prairie are described, including native prairie flower areas, oak-hickory woodlands, a glacial hill nature preserve, and bluebird houses designed to help the declining bluebird population. The prairie restoration efforts over 25 years have helped transform formerly farmed land into a diverse native habitat.
Trees2
Trees play a vital role in regulating water supplies, protecting against storms and floods, and absorbing carbon dioxide to slow global warming. They stabilize soil and regulate water flows, but humanity has long viewed forests as obstacles and cleared much of the world's woodlands. This short-sighted approach is now contributing to water scarcity, floods, and faster climate change. Indigenous cultures have found sustainable ways to coexist with forests, and we must adopt a more harmonious relationship to ensure the survival of remaining forests and humanity.

Mountains and hills
Mountains are natural elevations of the earth's surface rising abruptly to a summit and attaining an altitude of over 2,000 feet, while hills are smaller. The Rocky Mountains stretch from British Columbia to New Mexico, with elevations ranging from 1,800 feet to over 14,000 feet, containing a variety of habitats and wildlife. These habitats are home to many species of herbivores, predators, small mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians and birds. Permanent human settlement has caused declines in some species populations, and gray wolves and grizzly bears were almost eliminated but are returning through conservation efforts.
Polar bear report - Sean
Polar bears rely on sea ice to hunt seals. As Arctic temperatures rise, sea ice declines and melts earlier each year. This reduces polar bears' time to hunt, causing them to lose weight and reproductive ability. Some polar bear populations have declined by 20% already. If warming continues, scientists project 2/3 of polar bears could be gone by 2050. The melting Arctic sea ice also threatens polar bears' habitat and forces interactions with grizzly bears invading from the south.
Coastal Signs
The document discusses four coastal habitats: mangrove forest tidal swamp, beach and fore dune coastal marine habitat, tidal creek estuarine substrate, and coastal hammock maritime forest. It describes the key plant and animal species found in each habitat and some of the environmental factors and threats that influence each ecosystem.

- The Owens Valley is located between the Sierra Nevada and White Mountains and was formed by faulting. It contains many unsorted rocks from glaciers.
- Notable features include Mt. Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous US, and ancient bristlecone pines over 2,000 years old.
- The valley has a variety of animals, plants, and fossils. Rock types include volcanic rock, obsidian, and glacial erratics used for bouldering.
Folsom Lake State Recreation Area
The document provides information about Folsom, California and the surrounding Folsom Lake State Recreation Area. It discusses Folsom's history from the Gold Rush era to present day, as well as the geology, wildlife, plantlife, and recreational activities in the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area. The author also shares pictures they took during a field research trip exploring the granite rocks, oak and pine trees, and American River shoreline in the area.
Geology of Lake Tahoe Basin - 2015
The Lake Tahoe Basin was formed 2-3 million years ago by geological faulting that uplifted the Carson Range and Sierra Nevada mountains on either side and dropped the land between them to form the basin. Faults beneath the lake are potential earthquake risks. The area was under a shallow sea 400 million years ago, and over 130 million years sedimentary rocks like mudstone, sandstone and limestone formed and were uplifted, forming metamorphic rocks. Today the basin contains forests and meadows home to birds, chipmunks and wildflowers. Glacial features like moraines formed lakes such as Fallen Leaf Lake.
Field assignment
This document summarizes observations from a trip from Tamarack Lake to Red Lake in the Sierra Nevada mountains. It describes various rock formations found along the way, including granite containing quartz deposits, diorite with dark inclusions, and sedimentary rocks showing nonconformity with underlying igneous granite. It also notes pine trees, whitetail deer, and the geological history of the Sierra Nevada mountain range formation over the past 80 million years.
Carter Reese: Geology Field Assignment
The San Joaquin Valley was formed during the Late Jurassic/Early Cretaceous period through subduction and the creation of a shallow inland sea. Over millions of years, sediments eroded from the surrounding mountains accumulated in thick layers, including organic-rich shales. The geology of the valley floor is characterized by the repeated deposition and erosion of sediments, leaving formations like the Tulare sandstone and mudstone visible today. Artifacts made from obsidian quarried in the Eastern Sierra provide evidence of human occupation dating back thousands of years.
Field Assignment
The document summarizes field assignments completed by Robert Garcia for a geology course on the Bay Area and San Jose. Garcia visited Almaden Quicksilver County Park and Alum Rock Park to observe local geology. At Almaden, he saw cinnabar ore deposits from former mercury mines and learned about the area's mining history. He also observed granodiorite, basalt, and Coast Range fence lizards. At Alum Rock Park, he saw more granodiorite and California poppies, and saw tadpoles in a stream. The document discusses the geological formation of the Bay Area and evolution of local plant and animal species over time.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Mormon rocks and etiwanda preserve
- 1. Mormon Rocks and North Etiwanda Preserve Bruce Butterfield Geography 111 Thursday 1pm
- 2. Mormon Rocks Mormon Rocks was formed by folding along the San Andreas Fault between the North American and the Pacific Plates. Mormon Rocks is a tilted fault block. Mormon Rocks Mormon Rocks Mormon Rocks was named after a band of Mormon settlers from Salt Lake City, led by AmasaLymand and Charles Rich, who passed through the Cajon Pass in 1851 on their way to San Bernardino. This was because it was smoother than the Mojave Indian Trail.
- 3. San Andreas Rift Zone The San Andreas Fault is 400 hundred miles and runs from San Francisco to the Salton Sea in the Imperial Valley. The San Andreas Fault is a strike slip/transform fault. In this picture the rift zone is what separates the North American Plate(East) and the Pacific Plate(West). Rift Zone
- 4. Granular Structure of Mormon Rocks Mormon Rocks is composed of sedimentary rock. They would be classified as a conglomerate. Conglomerate is composed of rounded gravel. Mormon Rocks are cemented deposits of sandstone. Gravel
- 5. The holes(pockmarks) in Mormon Rocks are caused by the expanding and contracting of the rocks because of temperature. When the rocks expand and contract the little pieces of rock/gravel fall out. After the rocks fall out, water and wind erode the holes to make them bigger. Pockmarks Pockmarks

- 7. The North Etiwanda Preserve is vital because the Riversidian Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub (RAFSS) habitat is extremely rare and this is one of the only places it is still intact. The RAFSS runs along the southern base of the Transverse mountain ranges. It is a distinct and rare plant community. The vegetation is adapted for periodic flooding and erosion and usually found on alluvial fans. It covers the gently slopping alluvial fan surfaces that have not been recently flooded.
- 8. Drinking Water Flood Control On the western boundary there Day Creek is channelized. This eliminates the depositional processes that build alluvial fans over time. Absence of flooding can lead to more mature upland forms of alluvial scrub and alluvial chaparral vegetation. However, no flood controls within the park which keeps the vegetation intact. Early ranchers had to be creative getting water for agriculture and consumption into the area. Signs of this are still present in the preserve. There are long segments of clay pipes all over the place. There were also stone walls built to support the pipes. Stone wall Clay pipes
- 9. Alluvial Sage Scrub Habitat The North Etiwanda Preserve has 473 acres of alluvial shrub. It is characterized by shrub-dominated plant communities. One such type is white sage. There are 120 acres of Chamise Chaparral and 92 acres of alluvial chaparral. The California Brittlebrush grows in sage scrub. Sycamore trees are found in Sycamore Alluvial Woodland. California Brittlebrush Yucca There are multiple endangered species within the preserve. The California Gnatcatcher is an endangered bird found here. The San Bernardino Merriam Kangaroo Rat is also with the North Etiwanda Preserve. Other species include the San Bernardino Ringneck Snake, American Badger, and Southern Sagebrush Lizard Sycamore Tree White Sage
- 10. Gran Prix Fire Burnt Wood Burnt Tree The wildfire in 2003 burnt almost the entire vegetation in the Etiwanda Fan. Fortunately, fire is a common and natural occurrence in Southern California and the biological community responded with resilience afterwards. The vegetation is able to recover using both crown sprouting and seed germination. Recovery begins almost immediately and the vegetation can usually return to a pre fire state.
- 11. Smog Suburban Sprawl This is the view looking back towards Fontana/San Bernardino from the North Etiwanda Preserve. While the preserve is beautiful, the ever present dangers of pollution and development are looming. This suburban development is what makes the preserve so vital.
