After the field trip I have learnt more about geography. At the first station, Aerial Tower, I learnt about the distinct layers of a tropical rainforest, the type of vegetations growing in the different layers and the methods used to protect the forest floor. At the second station, Rocky Beach, I am able to witness erosion done by waves to the coast and how these erosion forms the coast. For example, the notch we saw at the coast which was formed due to the erosion of the coast during high tide by the waves. At the third station, The Promenade, we are able to see how the coast is protected from erosion where seawalls are built to prevent strong swash from eroding the coast. Finally at the fourth station, Dragon Teeth Gate, we are able to see how weathering will shape the rocks. For example, we are able to see how rocks containing iron are affected by oxidation and therefore turning the rock to be reddish brown. From this fieldtrip I have learnt how geography is taking place in our actual life and is able to witness it.
