This Blog was created to track my Fulbright Adventure in Montenegro. That adventure has ended but I still have the opportunity to travel outside of the U.S. and will continue using this blog to write about my travels.

Rock Layers
I didn't take geology as an undergrad but I've always appreciated the sight of rock formations and the power of the earth to shift its crust. This photo from Budva shows the rock layers of the mountains that sit next to the Adriatic Sea. These rocks are close enough to the water for storms to easily pelt the rock with water. Look at the stacks of rock layers. For scale or proportion, the thinnest layers are about an inch think...the thickest about 6-8 inches.
