The landslide I chose for this assignment is the Haines, Alaska deadly landslide that happened on December 2nd, 2020. This landslide was caused by heavy rainfall and took out at least four homes and many roads. leaving many stranded and two people missing. 

               Science Vs. Religion has been something mentioned a lot. Personally, I believe they coexist and support each other. The Earth is said to have been made 4.45 billion years ago, this could be true. The bible says God created the Earth in seven days. The only issue with this is we don't know God's timeline. Meaning those seven days could have ranged from billions of years ago, as science has come up with, or within the matter of a few thousand years.               It is hard for many, myself included, to see the beauty of the Earth and think it wasn't made by God himself. The phot included below is a picture I took of a sunset in Hawaii. It truly was a beautiful sight to see, knowing God made it. Sorry for the photo being sideways, I couldn't figure out how to fix it.

Marble is one of the most commonly used metamorphic rocks in construction. Marble is a metamorphic rock that used to be limestone. Limestone is an igneous rock that was subject to high temperatures and pressure making it become Marble a metamorphic rock. The photo below shows an example of what Marble could look like as a Kitchen Countertop. 

The Sedimentary rock I chose is part of the gravel used in my driveway. You can tell these are sedimentary because of the weathering and erosion that's visual on them.
