2015年10月6日 · In the Southwest, the Transition Highlands are dominated by the Mogollon Rim, a massive break in the earth’s topography stretching diagonally across Arizona and into New Mexico. In places, the Rim is a sheer escarpment nearly 2,000 feet high.

The Mogollon Rim is one of the longest escarpments on Earth; extending for over 200 miles (322 km) across central Arizona and reaching a height of 2000 ft. (610 m.), this imposing line of cliffs-- after the Grand Canyon-- is the second largest geologic feature in the state.

Hills Range seems to merge with the Mogollon Rim of the Colorado Plateau, the skyline of a remnant volcano stands out in about ten miles distance. The volcano seems to connect the features of the Plateau and the Basin and Range. About eight prominent blocks comprise the rem-nant crater wall, some being part of the Mogollon Rim,

Basins below the Mogollon Rim. The Mogollon Rim is the eroded and dissected southwestern edge of the Colorado Plateau and is one of the most striking physical features in the study area; it trends mainly east-west for about 80 miles, forming a steep escarpment about 2,000 ft above a lower, stepped plateau. South of the Mogollon Rim, the

The geography, stratigraphy, and struc-tural relations of the Mogollon Rim region (see fig. 1) are presented elsewhere in this guidebook. Mention of specific geologic features is made below, where pertinent, but no attempt is made to discuss the geology of the Mogollon Rim region as a …

Sedona is located just at the base of the Mogollon Rim, an escarpment that runs east-west through the middle of Arizona and defines the boundary between the Colorado Plateau to the north, and the Basin and Range to the south.

1979年12月30日 · This paper reports the results of a study along a small section of the Mogollon Rim near Pine, Arizona (Fig. 1), and describes the geophysical signatures of Mogollon Rim and related terrain. A model, which integrates the geomorphological, geochemical, geophysical and geological data, is offered to account for the location and evolution of the ...

Beaver Creek Geology. Geologic Setting. The Beaver Creek Watershed is located within the Colorado Plateau physiographic province, at the southern edge of the Plateau. The watershed is one of many that dissect the Mogollon Rim, the landform that separates the Colorado Plateau from the topographically lower Verde Valley .
