The document is a photo journal from Eric Martinez's geography field trips. It summarizes locations visited and key geographic features photographed. Locations included Mormon Rocks formed by the San Andreas Fault, Cinder Hill volcano, Fossils Falls formed by lava flows diverting a river, and Native American house rings and petroglyphs over 10,000 years old. The second trip covered Mt. Whitney, the Inyo-White Mountains, Diaz Lake formed by an earthquake, the Manzanar internment camp, Mono Lake and islands, shorelines of a shrinking lake, tufa stone formations, Convict Lake of glacial origin, and the oldest local rock formation.

2. FIELD TRIP ONE

3. MORMON ROCKS
The rock formation was formed as a result of movement along the San
Andreas Fault.

4. GRANULAR STRUCTURE
The granular structure is made up of sedimentary rocks, which
developed over time

5. CINDER HILL
This volcano is called cinder hill (cinder cone)

6. LAVA FLOWS
THE LAVA FLOWS ARE MADE UP OF BALSALTIC LAVA COOLING RIGHT
AFTER IT FLOWED OUT OF THE LAVA

7. FOSSILS FALLS
The falls were formed when the river was forced to divert its course over
a basalt flow, polishing and reshaping the rock into a variety of unique
shapes and forms.

8. HOUSE RINGS & PETROGLYPHS
• HOUSE RINGS
• House rings were used as foundation to
build Native American houses on
PETROGLYPHS
NATIVE AMERICANS USED TO WRITE
AND DRAW ON ROCKS- THESE ARE
SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN
AROUND FOR 10,000 YEARS

9. FIELD TRIP TWO

10. MT. WHITNEY INTERAGENCY VISITORS
CENTER

11. MT. WHITNEY
elevation of 14,505 feet

12. INYO-WHITE MOUTAINS

13. DIAZ LAKE & LONE PINE FAULT
Diaz lake was formed when an earth quake hit lone pine
making the ground uneven and water filled into the
lowest area

14. MANZANAR

15. PLAQUES
Manzanar was a re-location camp where Japanese Americans had to stay
during world war two. The only things that are really left are the guard
shacks and these plaques

16. MONO LAKE & THE ISLANDS
I the center of mono lake there are two island. Neget and pehoa

17. CURRENT & FORMER SHORELINES
FORMER
Mono lake continues to shrink eventually this great lake will be
gone
CURRENT

18. TUFA
Tufa stone is a type of limestone which forms in close proximity to bodies
of water with a high content of dissolved minerals, especially calcium
carbonate.

19. CONVICT LAKE
Convict lake is a lake in which it is made up off glaciers

20. OLDEST ROCK FORMATION

21. KEOUGHS HOT SPRINGS
the reason why the hot spring are hot is because earthquakes cause cracks in the
earths surface that water seeps through until it gets hot.

25. MINE TAILINGS
mine tailings are piles left over after mining

26. Garlock fault
It is a significant geological landmark in California
