Take a field trip somewhere in your region to look for evidence of mass wasting or glaciation and take a photograph. you may be thinking that no such features are accessible in your region, but that’s very unlikely. if you need some deciding what to look for and where, contact your open learning faculty member. if you already have a good photo that illustrates either glacial or mass wasting features, you could use that, but include the date when it was taken. whatever photo you use, you must have been there when it was taken.
if mountains are nearby, you should be able to find some glacial erosion features, such as a u-shaped valley or a glacial lake. you might be able to find close-up evidence of glaciation, such as a streamlined glacial feature (roche moutonée or drumlin) or glacial grooves (also known as striae). or you might be able to find some glacial deposits nearby, such as unsorted glacial till or thick deposits of glaciofluvial sediments.
in addition, you may find some kind of mass wasting feature nearby, such as evidence of a slump, debris flow or rock fall, or tilted gravestones or trees on a steep slope. road cuts are good places to look for mass wasting, especially where it was necessary to cut steep banks into one or both sides of the road. mass wasting also is common along lake or ocean shorelines or where stream water has eroded steep slopes.
take a photograph, making sure to provide some context in the background. it might be a good idea to take a couple of photographs, so you can include more than one perspective or get a close-up of some important features.
in a few sentences, describe where you went (and when). include the names of roads, mountains, rivers, lakes, beaches, etc., so your open learning faculty member can figure out where it is (or else provide a map), and—most important of all—write a description of what you saw and how you think it formed.
