Geology

Choose a National Park and write a 500-600 word essay that responds to the following guiding questions:

Name the park and describe why it is special.
Name and describe at least two key GEOLOGICAL phenomenon that are found within the National Park you chose.
Describe the processes at work that created the geological phenomena you selected.
Include your own ideas/opinions/experiences. For example have you seen a documentary, read an article or visited the park? Is there any concern/controversy involving this park? What is your viewpoint on it.

Include a minimum of two relevant cited sources (beyond your textbook and the suggested links above) to support the thoughts presented in your essay.

Start with your textbook and/or the National park websites such as:
http://www.nature.nps.gov/geology/usgsnps/project/home.html
http://www.nature.nps.gov/geology/tour/index.cfm
