Hoodoo comes from a Southern Paiute word, oo’doo, which refers to a thing that is scary or inspires fear. [1] [2] Hoodos form part of some legends of Native Americans in the American Southwest. For example, hoodoos in Bryce Canyon National Park were considered petrified remains of ancient beings who had been sanctioned for misbehavior. [3]
Was there ever a collision of the Earth with another planet Theia, giving birth to the Moon? [1] There is compelling evidence, such as measures of a shorter duration of the Earth's rotation and lunar month in the past, pointing to a Moon much closer to Earth during the early stages of the Solar System.
The distinct shapes of these rocks result from an erosion-resistant layer of rock atop relatively softer sandstone. Goblin Valley State Park and Bryce Canyon National Park , also in Utah about 190 miles (310 km) to the southwest, contain some of the largest occurrences of hoodoos in the world.
Jun. 21—Making maps, hiking, exploring the geology around them and making a seismometer are among the things kids in University of Texas Permian Basin's Geology Camp have learned about this week.
A backcountry, snowshoeing trail runs for 4 miles (6.4 km) from the Hoodoo ski area, [30] rising about 200 feet (61 m) in elevation over its course. [31] The route travels between Hayrick and Hoodoo Butte, offering views of Mount Washington. [32] There is an avalanche hazard near Hayrick's base. [32]
Metamorphic rocks are created by rocks that have been transformed into another kind of rock, usually by some combination of heat, pressure, and chemical alteration. Sedimentary rocks are created by a variety of processes but usually involving deposition, grain by grain, layer by layer, in water or, in the case of terrestrial sediments, on land ...
A geological phenomenon is a phenomenon which is explained by or sheds light on the science of geology. Examples of geological phenomena are: Mineralogic phenomena; Lithologic phenomena Rock types. Igneous rock. Igneous formation processes; Sedimentary rock. Sedimentary formation processes (sedimentation) Quicksand; Metamorphic rock; Endogenic ...
An alternative possibility is to merge the examples from the Tea table article into the Mushroom rock article instead of into the Hoodoo (geology) article. GeoWriter 14:39, 19 February 2019 (UTC) Seems the image in Tea Table fits the Mushroom rock article, so I would support such a merge. Vsmith 00:45, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
