How did erosion create Death Valley?
Erosion played a crucial role in shaping Death Valley through a combination of weathering, water runoff, and the movement of ice and wind. Over millions of years, rainwater and meltwater from surrounding mountains eroded the rock and soil, carrying sediment into the valley. Additionally, wind erosion helped to sculpt the landscape, creating the valley's iconic features such as dunes and salt flats. Tectonic activity also contributed by lowering the valley floor while raising the surrounding mountains, intensifying the erosive processes.

When was Death Valley created?
Death Valley was formed over millions of years through geological processes, including volcanic activity and tectonic movements. The valley began to take shape around 5 million years ago, during the late Miocene epoch, as tectonic forces caused the area to sink and form a depression. Its current landscape was further shaped by erosion and sediment deposition over time. The valley is part of the Basin and Range Province, characterized by alternating mountain ranges and desert valleys.
