Gr<strong>and</strong> Staircase-Escalante National Monument Geology Unit 2<br />
Student Activity<br />
Ancient Environments<br />
Following are illustrations <strong>of</strong> nine different environments that existed while <strong>the</strong> rock layers <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> Monument were being formed in <strong>the</strong> geologic past. These pictures do not cover all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
different environments, just a few.<br />
Use information from earlier in <strong>the</strong> activity to identify <strong>the</strong> geologic time period <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> rock<br />
formation that could have been made when <strong>the</strong> environment looked like <strong>the</strong> illustrations. Write<br />
<strong>the</strong> name(s) <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> rock layers <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> geologic time that you think each illustration represents.<br />
