What is the natural process whereby layers of mud and sand wore away and expose the dinosaur bones at the dinosaur National Monument?
The processes of weathering and erosion, which were caused by wind, ice, and water, are responsible for exposing the dinosaur fossils at Dinosaur National Monument. Weathering is the process of rock being broken into sediments. Erosion is when those sediments are carried away by wind and water.
