Rio Grande Gorge : ウィキペディア英語版 | Rio Grande Gorge
The Rio Grande Gorge is a geological feature in northern New Mexico where the watercourse of the Rio Grande follows a tectonic chasm. Beginning near the Colorado border, the approximately gorge runs from northwest to southeast of Taos, New Mexico, through the basalt flows of the Taos Plateau volcanic field. The gorge depth is just south of the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, which spans the gorge northwest of Taos. ==Geology== Geologically, the Rio Grande Gorge is a rift valley,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pointofinterestroadsigns.com/newmexico/riogranderift.html )〕 a separation in the earth’s crust caused by faulting and other earth movements when the North American and Pacific plates scraped against each other some twenty-nine million years ago.
