Discovery showed that some of the rivers in Lee's Ferry area run on bedrocks while some are on the alluvium,based on geomorphology,the different kinds of channel characteristics can influence whether these rivers run on bed rock or alluvium. By analyzing the velocity,discharge,width and depth,...
This type of sedimentary rock is similar to graywacke, which is also a rock laid down near its source. But whereas graywacke forms in a seafloor setting, arkose generally forms on land or near shore specifically from the rapid breakdown ofgranitic rocks. This arkose specimen is of late Pennsyl...
