Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: A panoramic view of the western wall of the Glen Helen Gorge in the late afternoon. The Gorge itself can be seen in between peaks on the left. The Finke river, with its mostly dry river bed and glimpses of water, can be seen in the foreground. The trees along the river bed are primarily River Red Gums. The cloud cover is the start of an infrequent dry season cold front which brought rains to the region.
This geological formation is part of the West MacDonnell Ranges in Australia's Northern Territory. The layers once lay horizontal at the bottom of the Amadeus basin. The Alice Springs orogeny pushed a 12km thick slab vertical, running roughly east-west for 644km. This gorge is primarily formed of red quartzite, which withstood subsequent erosion better than the softer layers around it. The entire Ranges have been classified as National Park. Français : Vue panoramique du bord ouest de la gorge Glen Helen en fin d'après-midi. La gorge elle même est visible entre les sommets sur la gauche de l'image. Le lit de la rivière Finke, avec un peu d'eau, est au premier plan. Les arbres qui la bordent sont principalement des Gommiers rouges. Les nuages annoncent un front froid porteur de pluie, un évènement peu fréquent durant la saison sèche. Cette formation géologique fait partie de la chaine des West MacDonnell dans le Territoire du Nord australien. L'orogénie d'Alice Springs a redressé une dalle de 12 km de quartzites rouges sur une longueur de 644 km. La gorge a été creusée dans cette dalle, qui a mieux supporté l'érosion que les roches plus tendres qui l'entouraient au moment de l'orogénie. La chaine est totalement incluse dans un parc national. |
