Mildred

Before going to the park, we had learnt about the tropical rainforest in class already, and have seen pictures of it. But it was when we went there that we actually get to see the forest and experience the feeling of being in a rainforest. Though it was hot, but it was a truly enriching trip.
As we walk down the Aerial Tower, we saw many things about the rainforest. We saw the forest floor, which was quite similar from what we learnt. We also saw the leaves, barks. There,we also saw the soil protection.It help to protect the soil from erosion. We also saw the distinct layers of the forest.


We saw a cliff and a wave-cut platform on the bench. There were large rocks too. We saw the oncoming spilling waves that were gentle. All this was what we learnt in class. Also, we learnt to calculate the wave period.
As we walk down the promenade, we saw the coastal protection -seawalls. The waves was stronger there. It was enjoyable walking there as it was very windy. We saw the mark that marks the deep waters too. There were large boulders there too.


At the Dragon Teeth Gate, we saw rocks that was weathered. One of it was going through oxidation.
When we left the place, i had learnt a great deal about coastal studies and weathering.
