Comparing The Pennsylvania Grand Canyon

The Linville Gorge, which is also known as “The Grand Canyon of North Carolina”, is astonishingly beautiful. Across the Linville Mountain, there are steep enclosed gorges, breathtaking waterfalls, and large hardwood and pine trees. Because of its largeness and beauty, the Linville Gorge is one of only three officially named wilderness areas in North Carolina. Surprisingly, it’s one out of the only two wilderness gorges in the southern United States. Linville Gorge is located in Burke County, which is near Grandfather Mountain. “The Grand Canyon of North Carolina” is unique, astonishing, and beautiful.

The Grand Canyon, an immense monument of pure beauty, the distinct feature of an American desert, the timeline of the Earth’s history, and the Pormosa for García López de Cárdenas. Percy spoke of a Bostonian man that travelled to the canyon, but was never truly there. He didn’t have the same experience of the Spaniard centuries ago, (Percy 462-463). The Grand Canyon may have changed in form from the erosion and corrosion, yet he didn’t take the same actions of Cárdenas. The man knew about the canyon before even seeing it for the first time, due to previously seen postcards and pictures, he couldn’t have the full feeling of awe at the tremendous depth and vibrant colors in something that is just more than a big, long rock. The author continued on by stating, “At the

The natural habitat the ravines provide to animal and plant life along with the historical structures and unique geological features make Turkey Run State Park an important part of Indiana’s tourism.

Grand Canyon is not near any plate boundary. It is the past plate boundary movements along with erosion that form this great canyon. The canyon is considered a plateau canyon because it has been uplifted and the large amounts of water that have created it. The converging plate boundaries of the Pacific Plate and the North American plate led to the forming of the Grand Canyon. These two plates collided and the oceanic crust was subducted. The subduction of the ocean crust forced the continental crust upward and the Colorado Plateau was formed by this upward push . The uplift of the Colorado Plateau allowed the Colorado River “to carve its way downward” and therefore creating the canyon.

Crater Lake is famed for its volcanic beginning its high lava walls and its blue waters.

Should Providence Canyon become a national park or should this, "Little Grand Canyon," stay a state park? I say that Providence Canyon should not become a national park. These are reasons why. Locals would be the only one to see this Canyon, it is one of the, "Seven Wonders of Georgia," and tourists may affected the plants, colors of the sand, and trails would be used more often which is hurting the environment. Also at national parks they add places to eat, sleep or a place to buy souvenirs.

Tucson, Arizona home of the University of Arizona, and home to a large population of retirees. Tucson has seen many visitors in it’s time from Native American tribes like the Hohokam to the Coronado expedition trail in search of the “Seven Cities of Gold,” according to Tucson City’s History site (2016). Arizona is known for its 5 C’s, Cactus, Cattle, Citrus, Cotton and Copper. This rich state of resources houses a diverse population of mountain ranges, streams, plant life, and a sunset to live for. Tucson does have challenges that it does face, severe drought, and over population due to Tucson’s attractive cost of living.

Providence Canyon is a park located in Southwest Georgia. Recently, the federal government made a decision to not make Providence Canyon- more known as the "Little Grand Canyon"- a national park. The federal government clearly does not know what they missed out on when they made this into only a state park. Providence Canyon would best be a national park because of tourism, education, and the stunning wildlife. These attributions should be known throughout the nation.
