The area is geologically rather evenly composed of 2400 meters thick Cambrium to Tertiary sediment layer which is dissected by numerous rivers to different depths, most deeply in the Great Colorado Canyon. Therefore, it is unique for the study of its extremely long-lasting geological and geomorphological developmentsAvtor v članku opisuje utaški del Koloradske planote, v katero je zarezano razvejano omrežje srednjega in predvsem zgornjega toka reke Colorado ter njenih pritokov Green River in San Juan. Geološko je ozemlje bolj ali manj enotno zgrajeno iz 2400m debele sedimentne skladovnice, ki so jo reke različno globoko prerezale, najbolj v Velikem koloradskem kanjonu. Ozemlje je zato edinstveno za preučevanje izredno dolgega geološkega in geomorfološkega razvojaTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZveza geografov Slovenije
