Erosion+Man-Locito


 * __EROSION MAN !__**

Hey my name is Alex, I have a secret lair in the Boston Harbor Islands. I am a super hero, my name is ErosianMan! My Lair is on the __drowned drumlin__ island called George’s Island. I have a very strong problem, __wave erosion__ is damaging my lair because I decided I wanted a view and I placed my lair on the beach. The __impact__ of the waves has really gotten my lair rusty. I cant leave my house because I fractured my toes last night when I jumped on __till__ outside, ow man that really hurt.

Since I cant really go out of my lair am going to tell you a story of how Georges Island came to be. A long time ago a very big __glacier__ stormed down from Canada. These glaciers where carrying lots of sand and boulders, and rocks. When the glacier hit Boston, it melted leaving all this rock and sand behind, this is called __deposition__. Tthe rock and sand started molding forming __Drumlins__.

I am really scared because I have noticed the island is getting smaller and smaller. All the __water and wind erosion__ is causing this. Now I have little __Gullies__ and __Rills__ all over my lair! This __runoff__ coming down the hill is destroying glacier mobile. Outside my house there’s this really big rock with lots of lines across is as if something would have scratched it. Before I didn’t know what had caused this but my Handy Dandy robot explained to me this was caused by the glacier when it passed by. This is called __Abrasion__. Because of the __Longshore drift__ all my good sand down with the currents. “ robot get out of that __spit__ !” he always tries to go exploring. Wait I have a great Idea I am going to wait until a good __loess__ forms and then am going to use it to block my house from wind ! Ha-Ha! I am so smart ! **Robot shakes head** “ No your not there’s never going to work dumby

Reflection: Going to george s Island was very interesting. From going there i learned about erosion and how it affected the land. Looking at pictures of the island from 10 years ago, you can see that erosion has been making the island smaller each year. Things that used to be here are either not there or damaged.
