UpliftingA geological process in which pressure from within the Earth pushes rock layers (strata) upward. When the pressure becomes too great, the rock breaks and shifts, exposing the once-horizontal layers on their edges. The result is that the rock strata now stand vertically or at steep angles, often visible in exposed cliffs, ridges, or mountain faces.This process plays a major role in shaping landscapes, especially in areas with active faulting or mountain-building forces. In the Mojave Desert, uplifting has revealed ancient rock layers that tell the story of the region’s deep geologic past. |
