Hoodoos in Bryce Canyon National Stop, Utah

Southwestern Utah's Bryce Canyon lies generally 8,000 feet over ocean level. At this height, particularly amid winter, temperatures frequently rise over and plunge back underneath solidifying in a single day. When groundwater leaks into expansive stores of stone and after that turns to ice, it expands and makes breaks within the stone, slowly breaking absent chunks until as it were slim towers stay standing. Bryce Canyon's rise makes the idealize conditions for this prepare, and as a result its thick field of shake towers, or hoodoos, is the biggest on Earth. Here’s a shock: Bryce Canyon isn’t actually a canyon. By definition, a canyon is disintegrated by a stream or waterway, whereas the profound amphitheaters of Bryce Canyon were shaped by headward erosion—meaning a groundwater spring slowly wore down the bedrock within the inverse course of its stream. Record that one absent for the following geology-themed Trivia Night.
