The exposed geology of the Death Valley area presents a diverse and complex set of at least 23 formations of sedimentary units, two major gaps in the geologic record called unconformities, and at least one distinct set of related formations geologists call a group. The oldest rocks in the area that now includes Death Valley National Park are extensively metamorphosed by intense heat and pressure and are at least 1700 million years old. These rocks were intruded by a mass of granite 1400 Ma (million years ago) and later uplifted and exposed to nearly 500 million years of erosion.

  • Die Geologie des Death Valley kann im Nationalpark Death Valley (Tal des Todes) nachvollzogen werden. Der Nationalpark umfasst ein Gebiet von 8.367 km², größtenteils in Kalifornien (USA), aber zu einem geringen Teil auch in Nevada. Die stratigraphische Abfolge der Gesteinsschichten und der tektonische Bau des Gebietes spiegelt die lange, abwechslungsreiche und komplexe geologische Entwicklungsgeschichte der Region wider. (de)
  • La geología expuesta del área de Valle de la Muerte presenta un conjunto diverso y complejo de al menos 23 formaciones de unidades de sedimentación, dos huecos importantes en el registro geológico llamados discordancias, y al menos un conjunto distinto de formaciones geológicas relacionadas llamadas "grupo". Las rocas más viejas en el área que ahora incluye el parque nacional Valle de la Muerte sufrieron extensas modificaciones por presión y calor intensos y tienen al menos 1700 millones de años de antigüedad. Estas rocas provienen de una masa de granito de 1400 Ma (hace millones de años) que más tarde fue expuesta a casi 500 millones de años de erosión. (es)
