Arches

Arches are natural rock formations created by erosion and weathering over time. They form when softer rock is worn away by wind, water, and other natural forces, leaving behind a resilient arch-shaped structure made of harder rock. Common in desert regions, such as Arches National Park in Utah, these formations showcase the Earth's dynamic processes. Arches can vary in size, from small spans to massive structures spanning hundreds of feet, and they often serve as iconic symbols of natural beauty and geological history. Their formation offers insights into the Earth's evolving surface and environmental changes over millions of years.
