When It Came a National Park October 25, Creation of Carlsbad caverns National Monument. April 2, 1924-Executive Order May 3, 1928-Supplemental Executive Order May 14, 1930-Creation of Carlsbad Caverns National Park

Why It Came a National Park It was made a national park when the senate and house of representatives of united states of America that the land known as the Carlsbad caverns national monument, in the state of New Mexico, established and chosen under the act of June 8,1906, entitled “An act for the preservation of American antiquities,” and presidential proclamation of October 25, 1923, be, and the same hereby declare to be a national park and dedicated as a public park for the benefit and enjoyment of the people under the name of the Carlsbad Caverns National Park. The Carlsbad caverns were discovered by James White a young cowboy when he scared a flock of bats from a hole in the ground.

Environmental issues in the Carlsbad caverns One of the most dangers is air quality from the power plants and wells producing oil and gas in the area and in Grand River valley with all the gas and oil activities they had to install a portable ozone monitoring site unit to record the ozone in warm months of the year. It affects the park by infecting the visibility in the caves. Soil quality is another issue and it is from soil and trash falling into the river and effect the quality of the river.

Important Landforms The Chihuahuan Desert: The largest wettest desert in North America and is preserved and protected. The Guadalupe Mountains: a mountain range that runs from west Texas into southeastern New Mexico. The limestone caves of the Carlsbad caverns national park: It contain more than 119 limestone caves under the desert above. Chihuahuan desert Guadalupe M.T Limestone caves

Technology uses for preserving and maintain park Technology is can be used for managing animals such as bats, Mountain lions and migrating birds. It can also can be used to study microbiology which is the study of microscopic organisms and mammalogy which is the study of mammals.

Type of rocks In my national park there are hundreds of different types of rocks but most of the caverns are limestone from the ancient sea once there millions of years ago.

How the park formed The park was formed when water gets in the cracks and freezes to then expand the cracks into mile long caverns and when water eroded the ground moving rocks through the caverns and dropped of away from where they started.

How are the Carlsbad caverns changing people have caused change in surface water flow patterns, change in pollution of water passing though routes, changes in cave airflow patterns and drastic change to cave climate in a very small place.
