GEOLOGICAL and HYDROLOGIC 
Movement of Water
Watersheds

Understanding the geology of a watershed is important.  Geological processes play an  role in the movement of water in an area.  Tectonic history and type of rocks present in a watershed create an avenue for rivers and streams to move.

The Fremont area has a rich history of plate movements, meandering rivers, and Pleistocene animals that roamed the area.  The watershed has changed from a marine basin to mountains.

High school students will help various scientists in understanding the geology, hydrology, and paleontology of the area by assisting in  mini projects.
