Energy: In VanRaalte Farm Park there are many different typs of energy inside of that park. One of the main types of energy that you will see in this park is water. Half of this park is maid up of a man maid swamp, so there is a lot of ponds and moving water all over the place. There also is a good sized river running through the park, it is called the black river, and it floods when the rain comes, creating parts of the swamp. Rivers, streams, and swamps like the ones that you see in the park show energy because it is moving water, which erodes sediment on the banks, and ground. The moving water gets it energy from the gravity, and the sun mostly. Water has a force to it that over time will carve the land scape. Im some of my pictures I am able to see flood plains in this park. By having big floods like the one we had in Holland 3 years ago is important. Floods help the environment. Floods move sediments, good soil to new locations which brings lots of nutrients to plants, and other animals. By having floods we also are able to get a better understanding on how we can prepare for anther 100 year flood like the one that happend 3 years ago.
