The layers from each period create the “Painted” cliffs that are located in Australia.]]> 2016-10-11 16:15:44 UTC https://padlet.com/406047/bru456j0uf8/wish/129873786 Picture of Triassic Sandstone 406047 https://padlet.com/406047/bru456j0uf8/wish/129888482 1 of 2]]> 2016-10-11 16:48:45 UTC https://padlet.com/406047/bru456j0uf8/wish/129888482 Painted Cliffs in Australia 406047 https://padlet.com/406047/bru456j0uf8/wish/129893652 2 of 2]]> 2016-10-11 17:01:58 UTC https://padlet.com/406047/bru456j0uf8/wish/129893652 Where is it located? 406047 https://padlet.com/406047/bru456j0uf8/wish/129896057 ( Painted Cliffs, Maria Island, Tasmania, Australia :

This type of rock is chemically and physically different from sedimentary rock.]]> 2016-10-12 23:43:46 UTC https://padlet.com/406047/bru456j0uf8/wish/130298167 What type of rock would be safest to view? 406047 https://padlet.com/406047/bru456j0uf8/wish/130298788 There are many diverse variations of cliffs; these include sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic. The safest type of cliff would be an igneous formation, but these are found only near lava flows. This means that you would need to find a volcano, or opening in the earth's crust to see a igneous formation.]]> 2016-10-12 23:50:18 UTC https://padlet.com/406047/bru456j0uf8/wish/130298788 What are some good examples of this type of formation? 406047 https://padlet.com/406047/bru456j0uf8/wish/130298948 Lake Powell, Arizona / Entrada Sandstone, New Mexico are both great examples of Triassic Sandstone that can be found in the U.S, and are great representations of Triassic Sandstone.]]> 2016-10-12 23:52:33 UTC https://padlet.com/406047/bru456j0uf8/wish/130298948 How does sedimentary rock form? 406047 https://padlet.com/406047/bru456j0uf8/wish/130299165 Sedimentary rock is formed by compounding layers of soil over long periods of time. The resulting pressure creates rocks that show layers of each cemented period, and creates a wonderful spectacle that imitates being “painted”. Sediment on the ground usually gets cemented into rock, and forms different patterns.]]> 2016-10-12 23:54:55 UTC https://padlet.com/406047/bru456j0uf8/wish/130299165 Disclaimer/Warnings for GF? 406047 https://padlet.com/406047/bru456j0uf8/wish/130299472 Since cliffs are at a higher elavation than where the person viewing them stands, falling rocks and debris can be a danger when within range. Another problem that occurs is landsliding, which can carry debris down with rapid speed.]]> 2016-10-12 23:58:30 UTC https://padlet.com/406047/bru456j0uf8/wish/130299472
