The Great Smoky Mountains The Great Smoky Mountains landform is mostly sedimentary rocks that were formed by the accumulation of sand‚ clay‚ silt‚ sand‚ gravel‚ and minor amounts of calcium carbonate in flat-lying layers. According to The Great Smoky Mountain’s website‚ about 545 million years ago the sediments were formed and large amounts of those sediments were washed down into lowland basins from adjacent highlands. The colliding between the edge of the North American tectonic plate and the

grassland like a rock protector. It was named our first national monument by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. This landscape is surrounded by sedimentary rocks‚ which are rocks that are formed from by the deposition of materials at the Earth’s surface. The rock layer that is visible in the Devil’s Towner is called the Spearfish Formation. It is a reddish color because of the dark red sandstone and the maroon siltstone. The oxidation of iron in this causes the redness. These rocks were the oldest

sediment. Would a rock formed from cemented particles of volcanic ash be igneous or sedimentary? Can you think of other circumstances that might form rocks that are intermediate between two of the major rock families? The rock would be igneous‚ igneous rocks are formed from the solidification of molten rocks. Rocks can be formed in numerous ways a few examples are erosion and earth quakes. I think that metamorphic rocks are the perfect example for combining all the three different rocks together because

K-Feldspar‚ also known as Potassium Feldspar or orthoclase‚ is the most common rock-forming mineral. It covers up about 60% of the Earth’s crust (Feldspar). Feldspar crystalizes from magma which is found in both extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks as well as metamorphic rocks (wisconsingeologicalsurvey.org). They form at medium to high temperature and at certain depths. They may also be found in some sedimentary rocks. This mineral is widespread and can mostly be found throughout North Carolina

HOPE QUARRY The Quarry Harehope Quarry has a rich history as a working limestone quarry but since it closed wildlife has returned and the rocks are now enjoyed by a new group of people. The Harehope Quarry Project has worked to restore areas of the quarry giving it a new function and providing facilities for visitors. History of the Quarry Limestone has been quarried at Harehope for more than 900 years. Quarrying on a small-scale has taken place here since the 12th century. However
