This pattern of the photo of the elephant above is a bilateral or a reflection symmetry.
The reason behind it is that if we are going to draw a vertical line in the middle of the face of the
elephant or if we divide it into two we can exactly see that the two halves are exactly the same In
a more simple explanation, the one half of the elephant reflect its other half.
M
This photo is taken by yours truly at the top of Mount Bunbun, Cuyo, Palwan. The image
of the branches of trees above is one of the example of fractal pattern because if we are going to
look at it closely, the branches are just like smaller trees and if we are going to imagine the figure
of the tree and observe all of its branches, it too splits in a manner that this is just like the
preceding branch. Also according in our module, fractals are self-similar and shrinking
 The photo above is a dishwashing soap foam. I can tell that the picture is a foam because
the bubbles present in the image came with many sizes and the spaces between the large bubbles
is filled up with smaller ones. I’ve take this photo a while ago while I am washing the plates.

Cracks are linear openings that form in material to relieve stress. The picture above is a
cooled basalt at Giant's Causeway. The image is considered as crack because of its appearance
having a hexagonal columns. Since according to Britannica.com, basalt is an extrusive igneous
(volcanic) rock, I can conclude that thermal shrinkage causes patterns of cracks to form as lava
solidifies and cools down.

The above photo is a plain whorl fingerprint of a person and it show a spiral pattern from
the word whorl itself. I can tell that the picture above composes spiral pattern because I can see a
curved pattern that focuses on a center point and a chain of round shapes is revolving around the
point.
 The picture above is in Capusan Beach at Cuyo Palawan. I’ve took this image last march
2022 while having an outing with my classmates and as we look closely at the picture, the sand
contains dunes. According to Wikipedia, dunes may form a range of patterns including crescents,
very long straight lines, stars, domes, parabolas, and longitudinal or seif ('sword') shapes. While
looking at the image above, I can say that the particular picture is having dune pattern because it
form a range of very long straight lines. Although the lines are not perfect, it’s okay because
some linear dunes are shaped like a wiggling snake, with regular curves.
 STRIPES

This is me wearing a stripe shirt. I determine this pic having a stripe pattern because my
shirt is having a group of lines with two different color from an adjacent area. According to
Meriam-Webster, stripe is a line or long narrow section differing in color or appearance from the
background. Since my shirt is accurate to the description of stripes in Merriam-Webster thus, my
shirt is having a stripe pattern.
