Fault
 This is a small portion of the Golden Fault in Colorado. This picture was taken
 next to a parking lot on a trail at the School of Mines in Golden Colorado. The
 Golden fault is widely accepted as a west dipping reverse fault, however there
 is some debate on it’s classification.

Weathering Process
This is an example of frost wedging. This rock formation is in the Poudre
Canyon near Fort Collins, Co. Repeated freezing of water in the cracks of the
rocks has forced the cracks to expand. Eventually pieces of the rock will break
off falling to the river below. The river was partially frozen when this image was
taken.
Weathering Process
These are rocks within and next to the Cache la Poudre River near Fort Collins, Co.
These rocks have been rounded by the force of water. This is an example of spheroidal
weathering. When water moves over or through rock its angular edges are eventually
worn down giving the rock a spherical shape.
Mass Wasting
This is a mountain side in Estes Park, Co. This are is within the eastern portion of the
Rocky Mountains. As you can tell the slope of this mountain side is quite steep. Gravity
will eventually force many of the rocks downward as has already happened for some.
Sedimentary Environment
This is the Cache la Poudre River near Fort Collins, Co. This river is an example of a
continental environment. The river has transported untold amounts of sediment from
the mountains down to the plains and possibly much further.
Sedimentary Environment
This is a marine environment. This is a picture of the Pacific Ocean taken at Morro Bay,
Ca. This shallow marine environment receives constant sediment from the eroding
continent.
Sedimentary Environment
This is a picture of a transitional environment taken at Morro Bay, Ca. Beaches are a
common transitional environment in which sand and gravel are deposited.
Use of Geology
This is a bridge in Fort Collins, Co. Knowledge of geology is necessary to design and
build a structure of this type.
