__ A Day at George's Island __

Once upon a time, a young boy name Rex was at George ' s Island investigating new things he found. He asked a tourist how George ' s Island got here. The tourist said “Let’s go find out.” They asked another tourist “How did George ' s Island get here?” He replied with “Well, I don’t know. Let’s go ask this random guy.” The random guy came and explained how George ' s Island and the islands around it got here, and it was because of __glaciers__. Rex was confused; he asked another question “Is George ' s Island a hill?” The random guy said it was a __drumlin__. Rex mumbled with excitement “Oh, I see. So George ' s Island is here because of glaciers and it’s a drumlin?!” “Yes, very good.”-Said the random guy.

Later they went to the beach, and r ex saw a ball of sand and rocks. “Why is this ball of rock and sand here, why isn’t it smoothening on the sandy beach floor?” “Oh, that’s called till. A block of sand and rocks is called __till__ !”-said one of the tourists. “Yay! I’m learning so much today!” Rex though in his head, “If the island is a drumlin, that’s means a __drowned drumlin__ has water surrounding it, so this is a drowned drumlin!?” Rex was confused and didn’t want to ask such a foolish question, so he let it sit in his mind. Rex was walking with the 2 tourists while the random guy left to see a group of high school students. Meanwhile a crumpled paper flew from a small hill down to his feet. Rex picked it up. The paper read:

Find these things and you win an Ipod Touch!!
 * // Impact //
 * // Deposition //
 * // Spit //
 * // Long shore drift //
 * // Kettle pond //
 * // Abrasion //

Rex got excited and dragged the tourists to find the items he had to look for. “I FOUND ONE!!!” Rex found a __Kettle Pond__, or at least he though he did. He moved on to the next one, Deposition. He couldn’t find it, so he asked a tourist. “Where can I find __deposition__ ?” “You can’t see it, but it’s when the waves move sediment from one part of the island and drags it to the other side.” The next on the list is spit. Rex had no idea what __spit__ was, and didn’t want to find out. (Unless it was saliva spit, then he knew what it was) Rex is almost done! Now he needs to find __Long shore drift__. “I see it! Over there, the water is making it windy!? Am I Right? ” Rex left his thought as that and moved on. Last one on the list is __Abrasion__. Rex picked up a rock and took a magnifying glass and sa y scratches on the rock. “YES I FOUND IT, I FOUND ALL OF IT! TOURIST CAN I HAVE MY IPOD TOUCH?” “Not so fast, you forgot one, Impact.” With a frown on Rex’s face he went to go find Impact. “I CAN’T FIND IT, I CANT FIND __IMPACT__ WHICH MEANS I CAN’T GET MY IPOD TOUCH…”-Cried Rex. The tourists looked at each other, one tourist said “If you can find, __Runoff__, __Rills__, __Gullies__, __Loess__, Erosion by water, wind and waves, you can get your Ipod touch.” Rex whipped his face, “challenge accepted.”

“I guess you can’t really see the __Erosion by waves__, __Erosion by wind__ and __Erosion by water__ , you get that off the hook. So look for the runoff, loess, R ills and gullies. And you got the Ipod!” Rex ran to the nearest hill didn’t find anything. Next he went to another hill and he finally found it. “Is this Gullies or Rills? They both look the same right? Just one is bigger than the other?” said Rex. “That’s right, now all you have left is the Runoff, Lets go hurry up and find it!” Rex searched and searched for more than 10 minutes and couldn’t find any runoff. He looked behind the tourists and he saw it, RUNOFF! Last thing was the runoff, so Rex got to get his Ipod! Rex saw the __Beach__ and smiled from ear to ear, “Look at that sparkly blue water and rusty sand” Rex said with happiness. He thanked the tour guides for his great day at Georges Island. His time to go home was now, he said his goodbye’s and left. J

[Later that day Rex realized he forgot about loess, but he had no time to go back to find it!]
