after examing this picture I am wondering what kind of rocks compose the falls itself? I would also like to discover how the volcanic tableland plays a role in producing and upkeeping the contents of this fall.
The next stop we will make is Amargosa Range this stop has been identified as a mountain range and characterized by the U-shaped river that flows clockwise around it. It has been said that this mountain range is composed of three different mountain groups which are grapvine, funeral and black.
In looking at this picture I am curious to know how the shadow is being projected in that overview of the picture? Is this because of the lighting or rock sediment? I would also like to explore the deposits and what type of rocks created this mountain range.
The last stop we will make is Racetrack Playa, is considered a scenic dry lake that features sailing stones that inscribes a racetrack imprint. The playa has been considered to be exceptionally flat. It is said that this occurrence is due to a major influx of fine-grained sediment that has accumulated at the north end.
After seeing this picture I wonder how is this rock leaving a trial on the ground. It appears that the ground has a hard texture, but if this trial is being left by the rock does it mean that the ground is sand? I would like to explore the geological makeup of the ground and how certain minerals my react in its environment.
