More Than 2000 Arches
How were these rocks created? What forces shaped towering sandstone fins, balanced rocks and more than 2000 arches large and small? Many geological clues are hidden in the rocks, the sand and the shape of the land. Geologists continually find new answers -- and more questions! -- to help reveal what happened here.
Things have not always been the way we see them now, nor will they remain the same. What you see now is the result of millions of years of gradual change. Some of the changes have been dramatic. Mountains have come and gone. Oceans gave way to deserts. The changes occurred slowly, have not stopped, and will continue, as erosional forces reshape the land. |
