Erosion

The primary objective in this activity was to observe possible occurrences of erosion, along with its causes and effects. We took a trip to three places in our campus: the football field, tennis court, and the creek. In the football field, tennis court, and the creek, there were signs of erosion near the hills and along the edges; some soil and weathered rock particles were transported from one place to another. There were some exposed grass roots near the tennis court and large tree roots near the creek; backcutting was also evident in these two areas, where the sides of the hills were cut off. We’ve noticed some small rills and large gullies located in each of these three, distinct places, which led to the creek. The major impact acknowledged was the pollution; all the ant killer pesticides, plant fertilizers, and various chemicals lead up to the rills and gullies,
