Yosemite is a national park in California. It was established on October 1, 1890. Muir and Johnson lobbied Congress for the Act that created Yosemite National Park on October 1, 1890. The State of California, however, retained control of Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove. Yosemite is one of people’s national treasure because of its beauty and the way it looks. It is immortalized in the black-and-white landscape and has 2,425-foot-high Yosemite Falls which makes it one of the tallest waterfalls. Not only that it has rock formations Half Dome and El Capitan, the largest granite monolith in the U.S. ,and the three groves of giant sequoias, the world’s biggest trees.

Climate change is one reason why the park could get damaged. It can b hard when it comes to situations like this. Scientists try to not to prevent the problems from happening. Most of the problems come from such as invasive species. Invasive species have a negative impact on natural resources nationwide, including in Yosemite National Park. Not only that soundscape, dark night sky,scenic vistas, fire, visitor use, air quality, weather and climate, and many more has to do with this too. All of these problems can change the physical properties of the park to a new substance chemically. It is fine though as long as people take care of the environment and if scientists try no to prevent the issues from happening the park will look great. Mainly if people actually visit the park you might as well get the actual feel of the treasure the park …show more content…
But really how did that happen would be most people questions. 50 million years ago, the wide view of a wide area of beautiful land consisted of rolling hills, broad valleys, and wandering streams. The Merced River wandered through a wide trough whose slopes supported hardwood forests. Then 10 million years ago, A more dissected landscape ensued as the whole range was uplifted and tilted westward. This westward tilt accelerated the Merced River's flow and the river cut deeper into its valley. 3 million years ago, a canyon landscape developed with continued uplift. The raging Merced cut its canyon as much as 3.000 feet deep. Then 1 million to 250,000 years ago, The Valley was gouged and quarried into a U-shaped trough with steep walls. Later on to 30,000 years ago,A smaller ice sheet, advanced into the Valley and terminated near Bridalveil Fall. Lastly 10,000 years ago, the last Valley glacier hat melted and its terminal moraine has dammed the Valley to create a shallow lake, Lake Yosemite.Lake Yosemite eventually filled in with silt, leaving todays level Valley floor. Today our park is filled with tourists looking at the nice features the park is filled with. For all the hard work the people have done to keep the park safe and beautiful it is a pleasure to celebrate the honor and history of our national
