Description
Majestic Cliff 3 is from Yosemite National Park, California
Yosemite Valley represents only one percent of the park area, but this is where most visitors arrive and stay.
Majestic Cliff is a erosion acting upon different types of uplift-created joint and fracture systems is responsible for creating the valleys, canyons, domes, and other features we see today. These joints and fracture systems do not move, and are therefore not faults. Spacing between joints is controlled by the amount of silica in the granite and granodiorite rocks; more silica tends to create a more resistant rock, resulting in larger spaces between joints and fractures.
