         A Presentation
       by Jaime Sandberg
          For GEO-111
Physical Geographical Sub-topic 1




 Fluvial Deposition
   in Arid Lands
Physical Geographical Sub-topic 2




   Fluvial Erosion
    in Arid Lands
Physical Geographical Sub-topic 3




         Coastal
        Processes
The Uncompahgre Highland
rises to mountainous heights…




                                Devil’s Kitchen
then is worn down over millions of years to a nearly
level plain. (These ancient crystalline rocks - granite,
gneiss, schist - which were at the core appear today
in the canyon floors.) …




                                      Coke Ovens
Great bodies of water follow, depositing layer upon
layer of soft, sedimentary rocks as distant mountains
 give themselves up, grain by grain, to be reformed.




                                Balancing Rock
The Canyon Floor contains dark
    purple Proterozoic rock
The Kayenta Formation
               caps the cliffs with
            resistant silica-cemented
                     rocks…




                                 Rock-fall
                              deposits cover
                              most of the red
                                   Chinle
                             Formation at the
                             base of the cliffs
                                of Wingate
                               Sandstone…
                                                       Inside Devil’s Kitchen




                                 Devil’s Kitchen in No Thoroughfare Canyon
                               showing erosional remnants of caps of Kayenta
                                  Formation on pedestals of the Wingate
Independence Monument                            Sandstone…
