What can we learn about this
field from the soil pit?
Use of
plows
evident in
the A-layer
Evidence
of
vegetation
Rocks and sand at
the bottom of the
pit indicate that
this land was once
part of the
Huntington River
Clean-Up Time!
BMI stands for...
Benthic - Bottom-Dwelling
Macro - Large
Invertebrates - Spineless Creatures
Collecting Samples
What We Found
Stonefly
Mayfly
Also:
Caddisflies
Midge
Dragonflies
Aquatic Worms
Boulders
• Brought here by The
Glacier
• Very difficult for the
river to move
• They are Shaped by
the river
River Terraces
• Flat and Long
• Separated by steep
slopes
• Sand and gravel not
far below the soil
Lookout point provides you with a
view of two very basic characteristics
of a river; a cut bank and a point bar.
A Cut Bank is on the outside of a river
bend.
A Point Bar is located on the inside of a river
bend.
Bedrock is the solid rock that is under
gravel, soil, and other material.
It is exposed on the Earth’s surface
through a combination of faulting
and erosion.
Folds in the bedrock are caused by
pressure, heat, and stress.
