The geology of the Zion and Kolob canyons area includes nine known exposed formations, all visible in Zion National Park in the U.S. state of Utah. Together, these formations represent about 150 million years of mostly Mesozoic-aged sedimentation in that part of North America. Part of a super-sequence of rock units called the Grand Staircase, the formations exposed in the Zion and Kolob area were deposited in several different environments that range from the warm shallow seas of the Kaibab and Moenkopi formations, streams and lakes of the Chinle, Moenave, and Kayenta formations to the large deserts of the Navajo and Temple Cap formations and dry near shore environments of the Carmel Formation.

  • La geologia della zona dei canyon di Zion e di Kolob include nove formazioni note esposte, tutte visibili nel Parco nazionale di Zion nello stato dello Utah, negli Stati Uniti d'America. Insieme, queste formazioni rappresentano circa 150 milioni di anni di sedimentazione, per la maggior parte dell'età del Mesozoico, in quella parte del Nord America. Parte di una supersequenza di unità rocciose chiamata Grand Staircase ("Grande Scalinata"), le formazioni esposte nella zona di Zion e di Kolob furono depositate in vari ambienti diversi, che vanno dai caldi mari poco profondi delle formazioni di Kaibab e di Moenkopi, dai ruscelli e i laghi delle formazioni di Chinle, di Moenave e di Kayenta, ai grandi deserti delle formazioni di Navajo e di Temple Cap e agli ambienti asciutti vicino alla costa (it)
  • La géologie de la région des canyons de Zion et de Kolob est composée de neuf formations géologiques superposées. Elles sont visibles dans le parc national de Zion, au sud-ouest de l'Utah, aux États-Unis. Cet empilement de roches représente 150 millions d'années de sédimentation datant en grande partie du Mésozoïque. (fr)
