The wonderful diversity of Arizona landscapes results from a very complex geologic history. The scenery was created from environments ranging from warm shallow seas to windy desert dunes and from violent volcanic eruptions to lazy lava flows. The many episodes of mountain-building and the intrusion of igneous rocks deep in the crust with their accompanying veins of rich mineral deposits have created the abundance of mineral species found in Arizona.
Key words
Arizona, geologic history, Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, Cenozoic, mountain building
