The u is reduce by accumulations of natural matter which create a reducing habitat within description ground distilled water which carries the u salts.

Review
You don't have to be a rock hound to get motivated by the information in these 170 pages. Fossil forests, dinosaur footprints, and ancient dunes bring out the explorer in everyone. (Sweat magazine)
Past users will find an old friend they can appreciate even more...From the beginning of her writing about geology, Chronic has had the knack of making complex things comprehensible...This book has all the necessary paraphanalia...You don't know what cross-bedding is, or the difference between caliche, chert, concretion, and conglomerate?

Good black-and-white photos illustrate every chapter, and the publisher has added a section of color plates to enhance appreciation of these wonderful places preserved for our outdoor enjoyment.

Canyon de Chelly
Canyon de Chelly is a long trident shaped canyon in the north west slope of the Defiance Uplift, carved by erosion from running streams. The incredible vertical walls of crossbedded de Chelly sandstone make access to the canyon bottom difficult. As such, it proved a protective home for many ancient and modern native American peoples.
The canyon begins near the crest of the uplift with one arm, Canyon del Muerto, beginning near Tsaile, home of Navajo Community College (now Diné College), with Tsaile Lake at the end of the northern branch. Several of the southern branches of the dendritic system converge in the vicinity of Spider Rock where the vertical cliffs reach heights of 800-1000 feet. At this part of the canyon, the Cutler red beds are exposed beneath the de Chelly sandstone layers. The main branches join at Junction Overlook where several small ruins can be seen high in the walls. This overlook is also a spectacular site from which to watch the sunset, especially during the summer when lightning flashes over the Chuska Mountains in the east and cool breezes drift over.
The canyon ends in the west when the de Chelly sandstone plunges under the surface just east of Chinle.
