Geologic Destinations for California Tourists

If youre going to California, be sure to put some of these geologic attractions on your must-see list. Volcanic Sites You might not think of the Golden State as a volcanic wonderland, but it surely is. Here are just a few of the most noteworthy places. Medicine Lake volcano is a subdued caldera in the northeastern highlands, full of diverse volcanic landforms including spectacular lava tubes. Its preserved in Lava Beds National Monument. is where Californias most recent eruption was, in 1914-1917. Thats in a National Park. may be Americas most beautiful volcano, and a splendid example of a young stratovolcano. The Morros, near Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo, are a chain of nine volcanic necks, remnants of ancient seafloor volcanoes. Theres nothing else like them—and there are also beaches and a haunted hotel. Devils Postpile is a good destination if you want a break from climbing in the Sierra Nevada. Its a textbook locality for columnar jointing, which happens when a thick body of lava slowly cools and naturally fractures into hexagonal columns like a box of pencils. Devils Postpile is in a National Monument. lies in the desert beyond the Sierra, a place where a now-vanished river scoured flows of basalt lava into fantastic shapes. Combine it with a visit to Manzanar and other highlights of the Owens Valley. More young volcanoes sit in the Mojave south of Baker. In the San Francisco Bay area, Oaklands Round Top is a dissected volcano exposed by quarrying and preserved as a regional park. You can even get there by city bus. Tectonic Highlights Death Valley is one of the worlds premier localities for seeing fresh crustal extension, which has dropped the valley floor below sea level. Death Valley is a National Park and a nice day trip from Las Vegas. The San Andreas fault and other major faults like the Hayward fault and Garlock fault are highly visible and easy to visit. Do some reading beforehand in one or more of several good books. is a tremendous graben, downdropped between the Sierra Nevada and the White Mountains. Its also the site of the great 1872 earthquake. Just a couple hours drive away is the hauntingly familiar Red Rock Canyon State Park. Point Reyes is a large chunk of land that has been carried on the San Andreas fault (along with Bodega Head) all the way up from southern California beyond San Francisco. That displaced crustal block is in a National Park. For a real geologic thrill, see Point Lobos near Monterey, almost 200 kilometers away, where the same rocks appear on the faults other side in a state park. The Transverse Ranges are a great discontinuity in the fabric of California and one of Americas most dramatic landscapes. State Route 99/Interstate 5 over the Tejon Pass, between Los Angeles and Bakersfield, will take you across it. Or take a similar trip on State Route 33, farther west. Lake Tahoe is a large downdrop basin in the High Sierra, filled with one of Americas finest alpine lakes, and is also a prime playground at all times of year. are widespread in California, where decades of leading research have not exhausted the knowledge to be gained or the enjoyment to be had from these unsung witnesses to plate tectonics. The Coast Beaches, coastal cliffs, and estuaries up and down the state are scenic treasures and geologic lessons. See my selection of geologically interesting places.   Beaches need no introduction, but theres more to them than sand and sea. Laguna Beach in the south and Stinson Beach and little Shell Beach in the north are examples that are full of geological interest. Other Geologic Features The Central Valley may seem like something to drive through as fast as possible on your way somewhere else, but its full of geological interest if you take the time to poke around. The Channel Islands are known to geologists as the California Continental Borderland—and a brand-new National Park. Petroleum is a big part of California geology. Visit a natural oil seep at Coal Oil Point in Santa Barbara, the spectacular tar seeps  at nearby Carpinteria Beach or the famous tar pits of Rancho La Brea in Los Angeles. In the southern San Joaquin Valley, drive through the Kettleman Hills to see the heart of the industry—in fact, the original asphalt seep at McKittrick and the site of the great Lakeview oil gusher are just off the highway. Joshua Tree is a distinctive desert area displaying many standout features created by arid erosion. Its protected as a National Park. Playas are strewn all over the great deserts of southern California: Owens dry lake, Lucerne dry lake, Searles lake (with its tufa towers), and El Mirage are just a few. What is a desert without sand dunes? The booming Kelso Dunes are an essential stop in the Mojave, south of Baker. If youre nearer Mexico, try the Algodones Dunes instead. Theyre the largest dunefield in California. Yosemite Valley, home of Half Dome, is an unforgettable collection of landforms created by crustal denudation and glacial action. Its also the worlds first place set aside to become a National Park. For more ideas, see the California Geology category

It was a crisp morning in the first week of June, 2014. With her step-mom and father, Oriana and I got into the car at four o’clock in the morning and set out for the Eppley Airfield in Nebraska. The lengthy drive was masked by exotic dreams of Europe as Oriana and I slept soundly in the backseat of their champagne Cadillac. Before we knew it, the sun was creeping up from behind the scenery, eloquently painting the sky with vibrant tones of red, orange, and purple. We stopped at a small gas station with a McDonalds across the street. After filling up the gas tank, the four of us walked across the dull, pavement parking lot and into McDonalds.

The takeoff was definitely my least favorite part of the flight. The v iew was unlike anything I’d ever seen. As the plane continued to increase in altitude, everything below us continued to decrease in size. I was amazed that I could seeing so much and so little at the same time! Miles upon miles of land visible from the 9x12 inch window on my right, and yet the cars looked like ants. After a few essential pictures, a short nap, and some conversation, our two hour flight was almost over. The plane began to slow down and steadily sink towards the ground. I remember experiencing my first bit of turbulence and feeling a sense of comfort from it. The bumps and slight rattling reminded me of riding in my car. After a fairly bumpy and somewhat soothing landing, we unbuckled and Oriana said, â€Å"That was an awful landing,† turning to me and continuing, â€Å"they aren’t usually like that: hopefully the next one won’t be so bad.† She was genuinely concerned that the landing had bothered me in some way; as if the shaking an d bumping had put in me in a state of distress. I looked at her blankly, almost confused by what she had just said. â€Å"I didn’t think it was bad at all: the take off was way worse!† I quipped as we slowly made our way into the aisle.

The Poor and Christianity - 1033 Words

The poor will always be with us. The saying, ‘the poor will always be with us’ originated from the bible. According to the Christian bible (Matthew 26:11, Holman Christian standard bible)’ you will always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me’. The circumstances surrounding this passage occurred just before Jesus’ imminent crucifixion, Mary Magdalen anoints Jesus with a valuable oil/perfume. Prior to this Jesus had always asked his devotees to sell their luxury items and give the money to the impoverished. When the disciples saw Mary anointing Jesus with the oil/perfume, they said to Jesus â€Å"why was this oil not sold and the proceeds given to the poor†? Jesus replied â€Å"let her keep this for the day of my burial .You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me†. Gaining insight into this passage would initially require that the word poor is not exclusively used to describe the materially impoverished and that being poor does not necessarily denote a lack of possessions or money, it can also refer to being spiritually poor, whether that be in a religious sense or in fact personal spirituality, a lack of fulfilment, contentment and worth in one’s self . In this regard the saying could in fact be extended to describe the spiritually impoverished, as seen in the socially excluded, which would be almost impossible to eliminate in todays capitalist societies. Furthermore in truth, selling the valuable oil/perfumeShow MoreRelated Early Christianity Essay examples822 Words   |  4 Pages The earliest recorded text teaching Christianity has its roots buried deep within Judaism.

Australia has been known as a frontrunner in organizing events and festivals that would appeal to a wide audience. Event Brief Identify the type, dimension and associated attractions of the chosen event. The chosen event that is to be analyzed and understood through the tourism and hospitality sector is the Sunburn festival in Australia. The Sunburn music festival is known worldwide for its commercial EDM features (Della 2013). The festival attracts renowned EDM musicians from all over the world. Apart from attraction for the music lovers, there are other attractions for visiting the event that includes food stalls, shopping options and other forms of entertainment. The Sunburn festival has been ranked 10 in the world festivals because of its popularity (Wimbledon 2017).

The event was organized in association with Sunburn Reload. In case of the Sunburn festival the value content strategy has been appealing to the aesthetics and desires of the millenials (Bake 2017). The event was promoted in a manner that it would immediately generate hype and attract the attention of the interested parties (Gibson, Kaplanidou and Kang 2012). The Sunburn festival epitomized splendor and pandemonium that was understood to be in consonance with the desires of the millenials who wanted to experience the effect of electronic music under the open-sky, spend time with their loved ones, and feel relaxed in a carefree ambience. The aim of the event was to let the music lovers enjoy the mood and forget their anxieties (Spracklen 2016). The food stalls and shopping options was incorporated with the aim to appeal to the audience who might be more interesting in shopping than the music itself. The idea was to not anyone feel left out. The music event featured DJ Shaan and many other local artistes. Location and Size The Sunburn music festival was held in Studio 3, Crown Casio, Melbourne and the budget fixed for the vent was 300 million AUD (Invest in Australia 2018).

Another sponsor for the event was H M which is a famous clothing brand. These sponsors has invested their money to arrange the event. Another stakehold er includes local volunteers who helped with conceptualizing the logo of the event and also being present on the day of the event to enable to ensure that the event could be run in a smooth manner. The success of the sunburn festival can be attributed to the coordination of these stakeholders. Conclusion Therefore it can be understood that the Sunburn festival was organized in large-scale manner and involved various stakeholders, the chief sponsor being Australis. Sunburn Reload and LIL Entertainment was in charge of organizing the event. The event has generated a large number of tourists for the hospitality and tourism industry.
