This is a place to share your learnings in Geography 12 with other students. You will be required to make at least one post each week. You will be evaluated on your posts so demonstrate geographic vocabulary, knowledge, and thinking. Take it seriously but have fun with it too!

This is sandstone that has been broken up by frost shattering. Frost shattering occurs when water finds its way into cracks and crevices in the rock and freezes. The freezing of the water causes it to expand which exerts force on the rock and can cause it to crack further or break apart entirely, as seen in the picture.
