 For this week's blog, I decided to take picture of my lava lamp! This fun little light has a really hot lightbulb at the bottom which heats up the wax inside so that it can flow throughout the lamp.

Below I've included some pictures that I took on Sunday night around 10 pm. Have a great week!

Some evidence that shows the side of this small mountain has been eroded is the fact that there are deep crevices and caves within the mountain itself. In addition, the rocks seem to have very broken edges which could indicate that they have been broken or chipped at through weathering. The second photo is of the side of a cliff near Ventura. This cliff seems to have been eroded due to the apparent rock and sand slides along the side in addition to what looks like areas where water could have previously flowed.

The tan-looking one seems to be a sedimentary rock because it has a bunch of different rocks seemingly incorporated inside of it. The brown one also seems like it's sedimentary because it has a bunch of layers. The gray one is probably igneous because it's fairly smooth and plain.
