One of Utah’s most well-known geological features has collapsed. The Double Arch, which has also been known as the “Toilet Bowl,” “Crescent Pool,” and the “Hole in the Roof,” was formed within 190-million-year-old Navajo sandstone by rain and wind erosion, the National Park Service (NPS) explained.
The cause of the collapse is currently unclear, though the NPS believes it was likely caused by wind and rain erosion, which has caused fragments of the stone to chip and break off—a phenomenon we call spalling. Unfortunately, these geological features can have very limited life spans, depending on the severity of the weather in...
