Grotto Guide Orientaton Course

Sorry…

Sorry!

You did not the correct response (the correct response appears below).

Question 1 of 1

Which of the following is true?

  • The Grotto is what geologists refer to as a spring.
  • The presence of tree trunks at the bottom of the Grotto suggests it formed within the last 100 years.
  • The debris cone that comprises the bottom of the Grotto is typical of sinkhole formation.
  • The Grotto formed because Barney the Dinosaur didn’t watch where he was stepping, and put his foot through the soft rock.

Explanation: A spring is where flowing water surfaces; a sinkhole forms when the ground collapses above an underground river or cave. The Grotto is substantially older than 100 years (and, no, Barney had nothing to do with it).
