GEOLOGY is a System of CLASSIFICATIONS, a Language (excellent bookkeeping, without Accounting). Earth Science uses their Nomenclature, with Mathematics and PHYSICS, to understand the Earth. Learning a Language yields NO INSIGHT into the DYNAMICS of the Earth, when TERMS are used for FACTS! I will Correct inaccurate Assertions, as I find them. Ignore ASSERTIONS such as Mantle Plumes and Plate Theory- which are ARTIFICIAL concepts, created by Man; these require Continuous ADJUSTMENT!

The "Big Picture", as seen in Zion Park (Model)

This Photo was taken askew deliberately, to allow you to look obliquely

Zion NP Model Frame orients N-S, with Virgin tracing the fractures of 2+ mybp

Notice that there are two sets of strains (Fractures), not quite orthogonal to each other in this National Park Model of the Colorado Plateau- Zion NP, but Coal Pits Creek to the west of this view shows that in the last million years a new orientation has superseded these.
