About: Ringold Formation

Property	Value
dbo:abstract	La Formación Ringold es una formación geológica en el este de Washington, Estados Unidos. La formación consiste en sedimentos depositados por el río Columbia después de las erupciones de basalto de inundación del Grupo de basalto del río Columbia que alcanzan hasta 1000 pies (300 m) de espesor en algunos lugares. Conserva fósiles que datan del período Neógeno . Las exposiciones de la Formación Ringold se pueden encontrar desde el Monumento Nacional Hanford Reach al norte hasta el área de Moses Lake . Grandes porciones de la formación están enterradas por otros depósitos de sedimentos, extendiéndose hasta la brecha de Wallula al sureste de Kennewick . En los últimos años, el agua de riego que ingresa al sistema de agua subterránea ha desestabilizado algunas laderas y acantilados de la Formación Ringold, provocando deslizamientos de tierra. La formación fue nombrada en 1917 por una escuela del mismo nombre que existía en ese momento. La escuela Ringold estaba ubicada en el lado del condado de Franklin del río Columbia, al sur de Savage Island . (es) The Ringold Formation is a geologic formation in Eastern Washington, United States. The formation consists of sediment laid down by the Columbia River following the flood basalt eruptions of the Columbia River Basalt Group, and reaches up to 1,000 feet (300 m) thick in places. It preserves fossils dating back to the Neogene period. Exposures of the Ringold Formation can be found from Hanford Reach National Monument north to the Moses Lake area. Large portions of the formation are buried by other sediment deposits, extending as far as Wallula Gap southeast of Kennewick. In recent years, irrigation water entering the groundwater system has destabilized some Ringold Formation slopes and cliffs, causing landslides. The formation was named in 1917 for a school of the same name that existed at the time. Ringold School was located on the Franklin County side of the Columbia River to the south of Savage Island.
