Dante's Peak

The movie Dante's Peak was about a volcano that went off and the people in the town below it hadn't been evacuated. The volcano was realistic. Also when he was checking the water the way he did it was realistic. Also the machine in the helicopter that was reading light was realistic. The water suddenly boiling in the hot springs and killing those two people was ridiculous. The earthquakes knocking down buildings was really, really unrealistic. Also the rock fall when that guy was hurt was really sudden and random. The movie was really exaggerated and there were a lot of people getting killed and repeatedly hurt. It bothered me a lot.

This is original remains. It is original remains because the bug hasn't been replaced by anything. Also the bug has been preserved in amber.

This is a trace fossil. It is a trace fossil
it is just the imprint of a plant in a rock.
It isn't the actual plant in the rock its just
the imprint.

4,5,6,1,2,3. I went from oldest to youngest. I thought that because the intrusions are the newest rock. The layers on the top are the newest because of the way the Earth layers things. I though 4 was before 5 because even though they're tilted 4 is below 5.
