What two geologic processes create hoodoos? *More than one correct answer*
Erosion
Weathering
Volcanic Activity
Tectonic Plate Movement
How could a non-volcanic mountain range be formed?
Weathering: wind pushed rocks up to make them
Plate Tectonics: volcanoes built up the mountains
Erosion: rivers and streams create them
Plate tectonics: two pieces of Earth continental crust collide and push up
