There are many clues to Utah's tumultuous past. among them are: 1. Wavy Sand. shock waves liquefy land and it reacts like water. Those waves has allowed erosion to create over 600 natural arches in southern Utah in a curve emanating from Bingham canyon and the Great Salt lake, from St. George to Moab. 2. Liesegang Lines in sandstone, caused by water stored in the sandstone, racing back and forth depositing the iron in layers of sand 3. Iron Pipes, created where water war forced together in Joints to become large enough streams and be forced out of the sandstone, through pipes that became encased in iron. 4. Iron Concretions, created by magnetic attraction from piezoelectric effects on the Quartz crystals in the Morrison, Navajo, Wingate, and Permian sandstone into multiple layered spheres. 5. The standing Wave, Roberts Rift created between Upheaval and the Colorado River by traveling waves being augmented by reflected waves from the Colorado River Fault. 6. sandstone Columns lifted up from Permian water puddles up through Triassic and Jurassic sandstone layers, now eroded to view in Kodachrome park, but existing in an arch from St, George to Moab.

Incredible power was definitely required to cause these geologic features.
