Sandstone Division

The Sandstone Division refers to a classification of geological formations primarily composed of sandstone, a type of sedimentary rock. These formations are typically made from sand-sized particles that have been compacted and cemented over time. Sandstone is known for its durability and can vary in color and texture. The Sandstone Division is significant in understanding Earth’s history, natural resources (like petroleum and groundwater), and the landscapes they create, such as deserts and cliffs. It helps geologists and environmental scientists study past environments and make predictions about future geological processes.
