4.9/5 (14655 ratings)

Description:Goblin Valley State Park lies within the Colorado Plateau physiographic province, an area of the earth’s crust that has experienced broad, regional uplift. The Colorado Plateau encompasses southeastern Utah and parts of Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico, and reaches elevations of more than 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) above sea level. Buttes, mesas, and deep, narrow canyons expose layer upon layer of nearly undeformed, flat-lying beds of rock. These flat-lying rocks are generally sedimentary, meaning they are composed of weathered fragments of older rock that were transported, deposited in layers, and then consolidated into rock once again. The hows and whys of such a large area rising to such heights with so little deformation are still somewhat a mystery. In any case, uplift of the Colorado Plateau seems to have begun within the past 10 million years. With uplift, the erosive power of water took over to cut and sculpt the exquisite scenery of the plateau.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
