I recently visited a unique geological formation in West Virginia called the Seneca Rocks. These rocks rise 900 feet above the North Fork River, and their unique composition gave them a stunning, striped appearance. As I surveyed the area, I learned that the rocks were formed nearly 440 million years ago. I compared this geological structure to others I have seen on my voyage. The area is located near the Monongahela National Forest, a stunning natural area that is home to a vast array of flora and fauna species. The nearby Seneca Caverns offer an opportunity for deeper exploration of the local geology, and I would recommend a visit to anyone interested in these sciences.
