Snows in the Desert

The snow out here in the desert doesn't last very long - it might take a day to melt completely, but more quickly than that it's blown away off the exposed sand by the same prevailing winds that formed the dunes in the first place. Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado

Atop Merrimac Butte

The white stone atop is known as Moab Tongue, a part of the Curtis formation. The hard white rock acts as a capstone for the softer Entrada sandstone below, protecting it from weathering effects. Once the capstone wears away, however, the sandstone below quickly crumbles, a process which has chipped away to form these dramatic buttes, and in time will erase them altogether.
