I am located on top of a underground salt bed, therefore the process of who I am today was made simpler with the help of Earths natural processes. Once upon a time about 300 million years ago a sea flowed over my area and eventually evaporated.
However, the salt bed underneath who I am today was left with residue
from floods and winds. Eventually surface erosion stripped away rock
layers, and water seeped into the cracks and joints. Then, ice formed in
the fissures, expanding and failing to ease the pressure up on
surrounding rocks. Winds came and went, clearing away the debris yet
some fins remained. Wind and water came together as a super force, and some pieces of the
arc gave into the force and collapsed, while the stronger and more
willing to fight rock remained, thus forming the wondrous Arches we see
today.
