Rattlesnake Arches

Rattlesnake Arches are located in Grand Junction Colorado. The trails for Rattlesnake Arches are very hot during the summer. The rattlesnake Arches upper Elevation is 56,640 Lower Arches Elevation is 5,440ft…. Rattlesnake Arches looks like a tall cave in the mountains… Constructive Forces Constructive Forces is the main kind of force that builds that ground we live on and the weird shapes that you see in rattle arches. Some examples of constructive forces are: Sediment, deposit, volcanoes and lava. But the main thing that made Rattlesnake arches is the sandstone some scientists think that a long time ago there was a desert that had lots of sand is Utah and the wind carried the sand away to the location of Rattlesnake Arches and the sand and water mixed into the shape of the arches you see in Rattlesnake today. That how the rattlesnake arches was formed by all constructive forces. Destructive forces In the Rattlesnake Arches there is so many ways of erosion. Erosion means the act of something being eroded away by glacier, wind, water, and gravity. For example, this is type of erosion is called weathering Erosion, The wind will wear away the showing layer of the surfaces cracks insolating narrow sandstone wall or fins by fins I mean the rock wall that has not yet been formed by erosion to make the aches. This some of the water erosion, some of the natural bridges may look like arches but they are made in the path of streams that wear away and penetrate the rock. A way of cave erosion is when the rock gets old every rock will collapse and disappear because of of the earth’s gravity.
