1 The Grand Tetons By: Tommy Davis

2 What year did the Grand Tetons become a park and why The Grand Tetons become a park in 1929,a coordinating commission on national parks and forests met with valley residents and reached an agreement to build the park.* *Wikipedia.com

3 How they were formed The Grand Tetons pushed up as the earth split along a north-south fault line. As pressure deep within the mantle forced the blocks on each side of the fissure together, the western block got higher to form the mountains and the eastern block sank to form the valley.* *adventure.howstuffworks.com/grand-teton-national-park-ga2.htm

4 landforms Landforms in the Grand Teton national park include flood plains, glaciers, lakes, ponds, forests, mountains, watersheds, wetlands, marshes, and swamps* *nps.gov

5 Rocks found at the Tetons The rocks that make up the east face of the Teton range are around 2.5 billion years old and are made up of metamorphosed sandstones, limestones, various shales, and interbeded volcanic deposites.* * Wikipedia.com

6 How are the lands changing The land in the grand Tetons are very slowly moving upward, and fires are frequent burning trees and changing the landscapes
