Landscape Arch in Utah. A bit of Rock History: (YABBA-DABBA- Doooooo!) "Today new arches are being formed and old ones destroyed. Erosion and weathering work slowly but relentlessly, creating dynamic landforms that gradually change through TIME. Change sometimes occurs dramatically. In 1991 a rock slab 60 ft long, 11 ft wide, and four feet thick suddenly fell from the underside of Landscape Arch, leaving behind an even thinner ribbon of rock. ...In UT's Arches, the minimum (size) consideration for an arch is three feet. Possibly the longest arch in the world, Landscape Arch measures 306 feet base to base." April 27, 2009 Comments [ Post a Comment ]
