Enviromental Isuuses :(

Many different forces change and destroy parts of the park. Erosion, Tsunamis, Earthquakes, Movement of tectonic plates, Landslides and Forest Fires effect the park in many ways. For example Forest Fires can help heal and destroy the park by burning trees and killing of dangerous plants.

Rocks,Rocks and More Rocks!

Sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic are found all over the park. Specifically, at the coast there are
mainly sedimentary rocks such as sandstone, siltstone, mudstone, shale, and
chert, all with cracks that are filled in with quartz.All along the Smith River in Jedediah Smith Redwoods
State Park, there is green rock known as serpentine, which came from far
below the ocean floor. There is also lots of iron.
