Description
A foggy morning in Bryce Canyon National Park. Bryce Canyon is not a 'real' canyon. It is not carved by flowing water. Water is the active ingredient here, but in the form of 'frost-wedging' and chemical weathering.
For 200 days a year the temperature goes above and below freezing every day. During the day, melt water seeps into fractures only to freeze at night, expanding by 9%. Now as ice, it exerts a tremendous force (2,000-20,000 pounds per square inch). Over time this 'frost-wedging' shatters and pries rock apart. In addition, rain water, which is naturally acidic, slowly dissolves the limestone, rounding off edges and washing away debris.
