Weathering the Years: Geography visit Westlea Cemetery to Study Natural Processes

Quest

9BI visited Westlea cemetery to investigate the relationship between weathering, lichen coverage and age of the stones. They were exceptionally respectful of the cemetery acting with purpose and dignity. The preliminary results show that although in the majority older stones were more weathered, there were some anomalies. Factors such as replaced headstones, and commonwealth graves bucked this trend. Well done 9BI!
