Sedimentary Rocks

           Hi everyone! My name is Rebecca, I'm from Kenai, Alaska. I'm really looking forward to learning more about Geology in my local area this semester. I mostly see geology whenever we take drives up to Skilak Lake. On the drive up there, there are some beautiful mountains that you pass by and drive over with some stops on the way so you can get out and look around. If you pay attention to the mountains, you notice some parts are straight rock with weathering on them and it's really interesting to see.
