Geology > Mojave Preserve Geology Cima Dome Famous for its remarkably smooth dome shape. At one time, Cima Dome was a rugged, craggy mountain. How did it become so rounded? The story starts with the granite it's made from. Granite Mountains The rocks of the Granite Mountains once formed the deep core of a volcanic mountain range. Hole in the Wall These intricate forms hold the key to a devastating and violent episode in Mojave's geological past. Cinder Cones National Natural Landmark Cinder cones form when lava erupts as relatively benign liquid fountains. As lava is spewed through the air, it solidifies instantly. Formation of the Mitchell Caverns Many people visit Mitchell Caverns to admire the intricate dripstone formations (speleothems) that decorate the interior walls. These decorations formed during the last of three main stages in the development of this subterranean maze. Kelso Dunes The Kelso Dune complex has some of the highest dunes (600 feet,160 meters) in the region. Few people realize however, that these magnificent dunes form only a small part of a much larger sand transport system that includes the Devil's Playground. Soda Lake Playa lakes are among the flattest landforms in the world. They form under arid conditions when water drains into basins with no outlet to the sea and quickly evaporates. |
