Rock Identification

I collected these rocks while I was home for spring break, home being Augusta, Georgia. I searched for them in a variety of locations around my house, but they still ended up being mostly granite. The entire top row is granite, and most of them are lighter-colored and higher in feldspar content except for the one on the far right. The first rock in the second column is also granite. The second rock is a white or yellowish color and is rounded and smooth, and I am unsure as to what it is. The next one is quartz. The final rock seems to composed of the same materials as the other granites, but it is very porous, so I am uncertain as to what it is because it is very different from the others.

Table of Change in Elevation over Time

 

I did my assignment on the port city of Kusadasi, Turkey, because it is my favorite place that I have ever been. It is on the coast of the Mediterranean, and the terrain around the sea is very mountainous. My graph shows the changes in elevation as one moves from the port further inland. My graph demonstrates how dramatic the elevation changes can be in this area.
