Banded sedimentary cliff. View of sedimentary rock cliff,showing very distinct strata. The rock is different colours according to its composition; most of the red and yellow rock is sandstone with differing amounts of mineral inclusions. The layered effect results from the different erosion rates in different strata; layers of softer rock erode more quickly. Photographed at Zion National Park,Utah,USA | |
