The geology of New Mexico includes bedrock exposures of four physiographic provinces, with ages ranging from almost 1800 million years to nearly the present day. Here the Great Plains , southern Rocky Mountains , Colorado Plateau , and Basin and Range Provinces meet, giving the state great geologic diversity.
From the White Place, painting by Georgia O'Keefe depicting the Abiquiu Formation. The Abiquiu Formation is a geologic formation found in northern New Mexico. Radiometric dating constrains its age to between 18 million and 27 million years, corresponding to the late Oligocene to Miocene epochs.
The Carrizozo volcanic field is a monogenetic volcanic field located in New Mexico, US. The volcanic field consists of two lava flows, the Broken Back flow and the Carrizozo lava flow (Carrizozo Malpais), the second youngest in New Mexico. [5] Both lava flows originated from groups of cinder cones. The Broken Back flow is approximately 16 ...
Geology – one of the Earth sciences – is the study of the Earth, with the general exclusion of present-day life, flow within the ocean, and the atmosphere. The field of geology encompasses the composition, structure, physical properties, and history of Earth's components, and the processes by which it is shaped.
The geology of the Rocky Mountains is that of a discontinuous series of mountain ranges with distinct geological origins. Collectively these make up the Rocky Mountains , a mountain system that stretches from Northern British Columbia through central New Mexico and which is part of the great mountain system known as the North American Cordillera .

The formation is exposed along a belt 1 mile (1.6 km) and 5.5 miles (8.9 km) long in Tijeras Canyon east of Albuquerque, New Mexico.It is a sequence of metavolcanic and metasedimentary beds, typically dark green in color, with its texture varying from unfoliated to strongly schistose. [1]
