Looking at the walls around the area I can see how erosion has weakened the walls near…

The tectonic plates started to push against each other and it started to build pressure for a long time. The earthquake had a magnitude between about 9.1 and 9.3.. It is the third largest earthquake in the world to this day of 2/25/16. The rupture was over six hundred…

diorite and monzonite also formed as a result of the cooling of molten rock under the earth’s surface. These rock formations were the result of the natural geological process of subduction in which the Pacific Ocean plate is forced underneath the advancing North American Continental plate. Critically hot water from the subduction of the ocean floor, rose upwards about 75-100 kilometers and melted rocks in its path, creating the volcanic activity that gave rise to rock formations away from the…
