Weathering, Erosion and Deposition
By Ellie TenBrink
Erosion?
This is also an example of what's known as water erosion, the sandstone of antelope canyon wasn't made from wind or oxygen or anything else, it was carved out and formed by water, specifically rain.
What type?
This is a type of Chemical Weathering, the water at those speeds breaks against the rock smoothing it down and changing it utmost permanently, which is an example of Chemical Weathering.
How?
The most prominent formation of the canyon is flash floods. Inside the various corridors and catacombs, sand is built up, and when rain falls, it creates a flood that rushes through the canyon, carving and smoothing out any rough edges in the rock.
Before we start,
Sandstone?
Yes! Antelope canyon is completely devised of Navajo sandstone. Named after the natives that first discovered it.
Don't forget that Weathering is the process of wearing down an item such as a rock, with chemicals such as water wind and oxygen. Erosion is the process of moving sediments like pebbles, and deposition is the deposit or placing of those sediments. Remember that as we go through this!
What's it made of?
At the very beginning of it's formation, antelope canyon started out as a dry wasteland where antelope roamed, over many years, water and wind slowly carved out the sandstone creating the canyon.
This, is the story of how a place called Antelope Canyon came to be. Through it's rocky origin and it's rainy past, we'll be taking a look at all the property's of weathering, erosion and deposition in whats one of the most well-known canyons to date. Come with me, we'll take a look.
