Tilted Rock Layers

Tilted rock layers: The sedimentary layers in this large roadcut near Denver, Colorado, USA can be clearly recognized by the variation in colour. These layers can be recognised as having been deformed because they have been tilted so they are dipping to the east (the left side of photo). This deformation was related to the uplift of the Rocky Mountains.
