BadlandsThis lovely photo captures the sediments of Badlands National Park. As the granitic rocks of the Black Hills were uplifted, they eroded and shed sediment down an ancient river called the White River. Barren sandstones from those dot the landscape of South Dakota, making up Badlands National Park. When that sand has eroded to the layers below, grass can take hold, but the sand itself is too barren to support plants.-JBBImage credit: https://flic.kr/p/GU2F9p -- source link
