Hoodoo (geology)
A hoodoo (also called a tent rock, fairy chimney, or earth pyramid) is a tall, thin spire of rock (geology), rock formed by erosion. Hoodoos typically consist of relatively soft rock topped by harder, less easily eroded stone that protects each column from the elements. They generally form within sedimentary rock and volcanic rock formations. Hoodoos range in size from the height of an average human to heights exceeding a 10-story building. Hoodoo shapes are affected by the erosional patterns of alternating hard and softer rock layers. Minerals deposited within different rock types can cause hoodoos to have different colors throughout their height. Etymology In certain regions of western North America these rocky structures are called hoodoos. Hoodoo comes from a Southern Paiute people, Southern Paiute word, oo’doo, which refers to a thing that is scary or inspires fear. Hoodoos form part of some legends of Indigenous peoples of the Americas, Native Americans in the American ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
