Location A
Good view from this hilltop; chilly and windy. We rested to catch our breath, then collected samples. Rocks are
visible everywhere. There are boulders, cobbles, and pebbles of many sizes and shapes mixed together. These
surface rock fragments are composed of metamorphic rock sitting on the limestone bedrock. The teacher showed us
parallel scratches in the bedrock. I saw almost no soil.
Location B
It is rocky and the stream-bank is steep. Where we are standing, we can see a waterfall and rapids. It is cool by the
water. From the streambed we collected some pebbles and cobbles- -some red, some white, others a mixture of
many colors. The streambed is full of rocks of all sizes. The teacher warned us to be careful of the strong stream
current.
Location C
It is cool in the shade, and the rock cliff above us still has some ice on it from winter. The rocks we are sitting on have
sharp edges. Rock fragments at the bottom of the cliff are the same color as the cliff. Our teacher warned us to watch
out for falling rocks.
8)(a) State the agent of erosion that deposited most of the sediment found at location A.
