Week 7 - Death Valley Artist's Drive
On my trip through Death Valley we took the way down Artist's Drive. A few minutes in we stopped to marvel at the colors of Artist's Palette. The colors showing are because of mineral deposits caused by volcanic rock interacting with hydrothermal systems. The mineral rich rocks were brought to the surface because of erosion and weathering. Oxidation causing the minerals to show their colors. It makes me wonder if there is more minerals buried in the landscape that is just waiting to be exposed and show its beauty. it could be answered by a geologic map
