After my trip to Death Valley, I found this picture that looks exactly like what I was mesmerized by on my stop. Looking at the photo brings up a few different questions. The main one being what types of sediments are in place. I’m guessing that there are metamorphic rocks there also but a geological map would help create an image of the geological events that happened in Death Valley. Being able to see where any faults, bending plates occurred could help piece together the history of Death Valley. Also having different rocks from different regions of the valley would also be helpful.
