The Rio Grande follows this rift for much of its course. The Rio Grande rift is a north-trending continental rift zone. It separates the Colorado Plateau in the west from the interior of the North American craton on the east. [1] The rift extends from central Colorado in the north to the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, in the south. [2]
A mechanism similar to extension in the Rio Grande rift is thought to have generated topographic relief in the Guadalupe Mountains, and the timing of topographic relief generation has been estimated to ~20 million years ago using cave speleothem records and interpreted to reflect drainage of subsurface aquifers as topographic relief was ...
The area is part of the Rio Grande rift, where the Earth's crust is being stretched and thinned. The rift is characterized by deep sedimentary basins, recent faulting and volcanic activity, and unusually high heat flow upwards from the Earth's mantle. Kilbourne Hole and Hunt's Hole are located on the same north-trending fault of the Fitzgerald ...
La Garganta (Spanish for "the throat", or "gully") is a private estate, or finca, of around 15,000 hectares (37,000 acres) in extent, located in the rugged Sierra Morena, in rural Ciudad Real Province, in the region of Castile-La Mancha, Spain.

The deepest portion of the rift is along the Velarde graben, which is up to 5 km deep. [6] The Rio Grande became established in the basin in the Pliocene, around 4 million years ago. Volcanic activity in the Cerros del Rio periodically dammed the river and created a large lake in the Espanola basin. [3]
The expression Spanish real estate crisis or property crisis that began in 2008 refers to the set of economic indicators (sharp fall in the price of housing in Spain, credit shortages, etc.) that, with all their severity in 2010, would evidence the deterioration of real estate expectations and of the construction industry in Spain [1] in the context of a global economic crisis and the property ...
The Albuquerque Basin (or Middle Rio Grande Basin [1]) is a structural basin and ecoregion within the Rio Grande rift in central New Mexico. It contains the city of Albuquerque . Geologically, the Albuquerque Basin is a half-graben that slopes down towards the east to terminate on the Sandia and Manzano mountains. [ 2 ]
