Age and time
Precambrian
Biological sedimentary rock originating from accumulations on the ocean floor and found at Hot Springs National Park
Chert or Flint
Highest point in the lower 48 states and located in Sequoia National Park
Mt. Whitney
Causes the hot springs at Hot Springs National Park to be lower temperatures than the ones at Yellowstone
Groundwater heated by fault movement friction
Two parks located directly next to each other
Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park
Age of the granite batholith at under Sequoia and King National Park
Mesozoic
Glacial striations, domes, and sheets of rock are features of this rock commonly found in Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park
Granite
Lowest point in Death Valley National Park that happens to be very salty
Badwater Basin
The first stage of mountain building where sediment collects
Accumulation stage
Park with the lowest land in the US
Death Valley National Park
Time when multiple cycles of mountain building happened in the Appalachians
Paleozoic
Intrusions found in Grand Teton National Park
Diabase
Part of a fault visible from the surface and found at Death Valley National Park
Fault scarp
The second stage of mountain building where folding and faulting occur
Orogenic stage
Has some of the oldest trees in the world
Great Basin National Park
Craton
Intrusions found in Joshua Tree National Park
Granite and diorite
The area based in Nevada where no surface water drains to the ocean
Great basin
Rock folding that forms an arch with the oldest rock in the center
Anticline
Park with little exposed rock besides outcrops and is mostly covered with vegetation
Shenandoah National Park
What is the age of the limestone in Cades Cove at Great Smoky Mountain National Parks that supports fertile soil
Paleozoic
Primary composition of mountains in the Basin and Range province
Precambrian metamorphic crystalline core complex
Greenstone in Shenandoah National Park makes up these features
Meadows or rock outcrops
Causes the high rate of chemical weathering and numerous waterfalls at Great Smoky Mountains National Park
High amount of rainfall
Two parks that are geologically similar to Yosemite except for having more Paleozoic sedimentary rock
Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park
