Utah National Parks Weathering

Weathering & Erosion Weathering –effects of weather over a long period of time that changes the formations of rocks. Erosion- slowly breaking down rocks and soil caused by water, wind or ice.

Bryce Canyon National Park Millions of years of wind, water has shaped the pink cliffs at Bryce. Also, frost-wedging and the dissolving power of rainwater have shaped the colorful limestone.

Bryce Canyon

Cayonlands National Park Canyonlands Canyonlands National Park it consists of canyons and plateaus carved by two mighty rivers - the Colorado and the Green.

Canyonlands

Capitol Reef National Park Capitol Reef National Park is characterized by sandstone formations, cliffs and canyons Erosion has carved the rock into marvelous shapes.

Capitol Reef

Arches National Park Arches Arches National Park contains the world's largest natural stone arches. This National Park is a red desert, with many oddly eroded sandstone formations. The formations are called, “ the miracles of nature.“

Arches

Zion National Park Zion is Utah's oldest national park. Zion canyon have been formed by the Virgin river cutting through the park. Zion is Utah's most heavily used park.
