Titus Canyon

Death Valley photo, Titus Canyon

Deformations, Interruptions, and Visual Perceptions Many lithological formations in Titus Canyon reflect multiple foldings and faultings, obviously due to tectonic forces. The most prominent example can be considered the Titus Canyon overfold, which is, actually, a large-scale geologic structure featuring secondary fold. If one looks into the southern wall of this canyon, he will distinguish certain structures of an anticline, that is the name for a fold tending upwards, and the syncline, which corresponds to a fold tending down.
