Problem 1: What role did plate tectonics play in the formation of Capitol Reef N. P.
Problem 2: Describe several sedimentary structures that help us to interpret the environments that these rocks formed at Capitol Reef.
Problem 3: The Waterpocket Fold defines Capitol Reef N. P. Explain what it is and how it contributed to the landscape we see today.
Problem 4: If you hiked to a mountain peak and found limestone at the top, what would that indicate about the likely geologic history of the rock atop the mountain? Explain.
Problem 5: During a hike in Utah's Zion National Park, you pick up a sedimentary rock sample. When you examine the sample with your hand lens, you see that the rock consists mainly of rounded glassy particles that appear to be quartz. To be sure, you conduct two basic tests. When you check for hardness, the rock easily scratches glass, which is what quartz would do. However, when you place a drop of acid on the sample, if fizzes. Ex plain how a rock that appears to be rich in quartz could effervesce with acid.
