Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Sandstone Strata in Edgar's Field This dramatic sandstone strata is next to the path in Edgar's Field park in Handbridge. The stone was probably quarried from here to build some of the many sandstone structures found throughout the area. According to the City Council website the distortion in the strata is due to 'Slumping' where soft sediments have collapsed under the weight of later sediments. Also the uneven surface is due to 'Differential weathering' where some layers, being softer than others, have weathered at a different rate. The River Dee is behind the camera. |
