Welcome to Geology Adventures 2007. Our tour will have five stops showing three different types of geological features. These will include a volcano or volcanic activity, a coastal feature and a ground water feature. At each stop, a brief description will be given on the features regarding how it was formed, the characteristics it has, interesting facts, myths, natural or recreational opportunities and any special precautions that are necessary. The itinerary for this tour will begin in Kilauea, Hawaii; then moves onto Panama City Beach, Florida; and finally ending our tour at Yellowstone National Park’s Old Faithful geyser.
