Doug's Geology Journal

Red Rock Rising (1x5)

Air date: Jul 17, 2023

In the Red Rock country of Utah and Arizona the earth's crust has been pushed up by the collision of two massive tectonic plates, lifting the land in one large block. Doug marvels at how the forces of erosion have worked on that block for eons, sculpting some of the world's most famous rock formations, including pinnacles, slot canyons, buttes, arches, and the incomparable Grand Canyon.
