Hi, my name is Angela Soria and today I will

be talking a bit about the unique landforms found in

nanny falcone park.

I chose this park specifically because it is when I

frequent the most and as an everyday park, I thought

it was important to discuss some of its landforms that

we often overlook right off the bat.

This is one of the first landforms I discovered upon

entering the park, it's a small manmade stream.

The small stream is located at the front entrance of

the park, adjacent to a V shaped valley.

It is made from cement and based on its location

in the park, I would say that this structure is

used to collect rainwater that will eventually be carried away

downstream and into the valley.

Next up the parks hills.

The park's grounds are covered in hills.

Um I captured a few pictures of different areas in

the park that had these great hills.

Unlike amount that these are natural landforms.

One reason behind their existence could be faulting, which involves

the underground movement of rocks, shifting and changing over a

period of time.

Another possible explanation could be erosion that brought leftover rock

and soil and piled up over time to create these

hills. Further supporting this possibility is the fact that the

hills are located close to the V shaped valley.

Moving on to this V shaped valley, another land form

found on the park's grounds.

The bottom of the valley is currently dry, although it's

safe to assume its structure was once carved out by

a large flowing body of water, such as a river.

This process is also referred to as down cutting, meaning

that through the course of the river, vertical erosion occurs

and goes up in an upward downward motion that physically

erodes away at the riverbed, carving out this distinct shape,

something a note is the process of oxidation that has

also taken place in the rocks, causing a change in

color to one more of a rust.

The chemical change in the rocks makes it more resilient

against future weathering processes.

More over deep in the brush of the forest is

an uh FM FM.

A real stream.

Excuse me if I'm totally butchering that word on a

patch of area that is typically quite dry, but due

to the recent heavy rains, there is a small flow

of water because this is a stream dependent on rain.

The forest is supported by groundwater collected over the year

during the wet season and continues to be maintained through

the same process.

Another benefit of this dream is that when it is

flowing a Kerry soil down to the riverbank, further replenishing

the area.

One explanation for why this area is experiencing a large

season seasonal stream is due to the typical dry conditions

of the area.

Okay. Also found in this part are the extensive flatlands

or planes.

I would identify this as steps.

The grass is currently standing at a decent height due

to the warm, wet weather, allowing allowing it to thrive.

The formation of planes can be done through processes such

as physical erosion through water and ice.

While sediment is carried out, it gradually begins to form

in layers that create these planes.

Once again, there is a connection between the landforms in

this park, particularly the broad plains and the valleys.

In some cases, when the erosion from water begins to

erode away at the valleys created, they transform into the

plains we see out here today.

So, um a bit on an end note, I'd like

to say personally, this project was interesting for me because

as previously mentioned, I do visit this park frequently and

probably would never have given these unique landforms a second

thought. But since I was able to collect pictures and

data, I've gained a deeper knowledge of how truly cool

the natural world is.

Yeah. And this concludes my presentation.

Thank you so much for watching.

Bye.
