Geoscience Education in the Mountain State:
RockCamp IV


Dividing Line
RockCamp IV
Only RockCamp I and II graduates were eligible for RockCamp IV. RockCamp IV allowed 19 teachers to compare and contrast the geology of West Virginia with that of New England. For example, why do we quarry limestone and they quarry marble? What is the common thread? This eight-day trip explored tectonics, metamorphic and igneous rocks, and glacial features. We also went to the top of a misty and cold Mount Washington on the Cog Railway.
