One of the places I would absolutely love to visit at some point is Acadia National Park in Maine. Unlike much of the flat geography of the east coast, Acadia National Park is located 1,500 feet above a rocky shore and its fascinating structures make it an absolutely gorgeous island in America. The rocky structures on the island consist of sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rock. Around 400 million years ago, a string of volcanic eruptions in this area caused ash to fall on the island forming the Cranberry Isles Series. When tectonic plates collided it caused pools of magma to rise up which eventually formed into granite, one of the most gorgeous forms of igneous rock.
