A recent study taking and analyzing soil samples from Arches National Park on Tuesday, October 24th, found that the composition of the soil had been misleading scientists for centuries.
The soil didn't contain iron, which the scientist community had readily accepted since the red rocks had been discovered as iron has been known to take on a reddish-brown tone when oxidized
What Tyler Stroma PhD., the head of the geology division at Stanford University, didn't account for was the finding of extremely high copper concentrations in the soil samples. As we have seen with the Statue of Liberty and many other copper statues, when copper oxidizes, it takes on a bluish-green tone.
"The conclusion we were forced to accept was that copper can oxidize other colors in the presence of other chemical compounds. When we took it to the lab, we found that it was a high concentration of CO2, or Carbon Dioxide." Stroma continued: "We were also forced to conclude that humans are causing the redness of the rocks. The increase in tourism over the last one-hundred years could be destroying the highly-complex ecosystem that exists in Utah, Arizona, and Colorado."
