Which national park has the best geology?

Question

I like Glacier... love Mesoproterozoic sedimentology (plus it makes the park look awesome).

Answer 1

It depends on what you are looking to find. Big Bend has an olivine granite, which is very rare. The Guadalupe Mountains have the world's largest exposed barrier reef. These are two great geological features in my home state. Almost any national park can claim something unique. Just look at the Grand Canyon with its great sedimentology. The best geology is a relative term.

Answer 2

that's named "Yellowstone" because of the fact the sulfur interior the water table and warm springs stain the rocks and stones . . . yellow. Yellowstone lies on the continental ridge . . . so all rivers from there the two bypass west to the Pacific or east to the Atlantic. Scientists have been achieving surveys at Lake Yellowstone for the previous countless an prolonged time. The lake has actual tilted 20 ft in one direction because of the fact the earth on the different area is increasing because of the magma chamber under the park. So while they say that's an energetic volcano . . . that's energetic. extra like a drowsing substantial !!!

Answer 3

That depends on what you seek. - if you are looking for the widest geologic diversity, or a favorite geology.

The US Geological Survey is the authority as far as US National Parks go. You can look at photos and 3-D images of National Park geology at their website:
